LA482 loader attachments

[jack9166]

Hi, I have a LA482 loader and am planning on buying a set of forks and probably a bale spear. Now here is my question should I get a skid steer type quick hitch or just buy the attachments I need from Kubota or Woods? Also does Kubota make a quick hitch for the LA482 loader?

Thanks
Jack

TractorSmart has a listing for all the different <font color=orange>Kubota</font color=orange> FEL's. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorsmart.com/enter.htm>Click Here.</A> Click on the <font color=orange>Kubota</font color=orange> Tractor.

Clicking on the LA402 price will bring up the attachments that will fit the LA400 series FEL’s.
I have the Quick Coupler and 36” Pallet forks for my B2910. They work very well for me. Others have not done so well.

ATI makes a unit for the Kubota loaders and it is a good fit. It does take it to the skid-steer style hook up.

I like the idea of the ATI skid steer quick attach especially since my neighbor has a skid steer with 4 different attachments but from what I have read hear if you do use the skid steer attach system you give up 400 to 500 pounds of lift and if that is the case I think thats too much to give up when you only have about 1100 pounds of lift with the LA482 loader. Anybody use the ATI or Kasco system? what do you think?
