Aren't Kabota loaders Skid Steer Style Quick Attach, but not Standard Skid Steer Quick Attach?

You can get a small pease of flat stock about 1/4 thick and put it tight up to the pin, then weld in place.

Does it pop off? Mine was like that too. I wound up welding a piece of steel on top tighten it up.

I have some Land Pride quick attach for my L4400 and they fit tight tight tight, a bit too tight.

That manufacturer runs hot and cold on their fit. Complain and they will likely give you some money back so you can weld the shims in place. I don't know why they just don't make their stuff fit.

Many have had the same problem including me. I have not put a piece of flat stock on there yet. Just have to get a welder first.

I have the 42" Pallet forks.com ones and they are not an exact build. They are functional, but sloppy. However, the price was by far the best around. If I used them everyday I would go with a better quality fork, but for occasional use they are OK. I also got the bale spear as well with them, but haven't used it yet.

Aren't Kabota loaders Skid Steer Style Quick Attach, but not Standard Skid Steer Quick Attach?

I just bought the SSQA setup from the new B3350 tractor - and installed it on my B3200. I also bought a Virnig rock bucket - which is supposedly standard skid steer QA - and the both work fine together. I would imagine that the SSQA setups on the larger tractors - should also meet the skid steer QA standard. The specs for the standard are on the net - look them up and see if the QA on the loader matches up to the standard.

From the picture that was posted - it looks like there's some support missing to push the pallet fork out enough so that the locking pin goes in securely.

Would need better pics to be sure.
