Need help with loader model

Have you looked into one of the universal ones similar to this? Skid Steer Universal Hitch Adapter w/3 Rollback Settings 8295

This sounds exactly what I was looking for. It is only rated to 3000#'s though. If they had a beefier one, then that would be the way to go.

I never got a price on a Euro one. The salesman at the dealer was more for the skidsteer mount. He questioned about Euro being standard. Maybe it is becoming standard everywhere but usa? He did assure me it would be heavy duty and I would agree HLA looks like they make some beefy attachments. I assume that is why they are expensive (the manure/debris grapple I want from them is 4400). Also, I have never seen Euro style attachments at any of the auctions I have been too. If I have, it is very rare, which is why I will most likely stick with the skidsteer style.

Skidsteer is the standard for Compact Tractors, with Utility 50-80 PTO HP likely being split Euro/Skidsteer. Anything 80 PTO HP and up is going to have Euro or "global" coupler now. My Kubota loader was available with Euro or Skidsteer new, I got Euro, very easy to get attachments here, in stock on the lot.

I do bet it's regional preference too. If your local dealer sells all skidsteer and you have lots of options for used, than Skidsteer might be the better choice.

Hmm, they do Euro too, notice they carry a ton of Deere Adaptors to go Euro from Deere's own coupler system.
