That's a great looking setup! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif The canopy looks like you could land an airplane on it. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Great setup
Could you post more details about your grappler - model etc?
Do you have a QA or have to make mods to attach it?

Can't wait to get my own Kioti

I see you are only a "visitor" like me /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

What brand is that grapple? That's the route I'm going if I ever get going.

Glad to hear (and see pictures /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif) of the CK30HST. I see the QA from ATI? arrived. Where you able to utilize the Kioti bucket for use with the QA? Great looking package!

Redrocker, Here's a grapple Bobcat has listed on their website. Looks similar to jawmaw's.

The grapple is a Bobcat 44" farm grapple. It is used on the 500 series Bobcats and MT500 track loaders. It weighs less then 400lbs and is very heavy duty. I have ordered 5 additional teeth for the bucket which will make the tine spacing less than 2 1/2 inches.

I bought the ATI QA plate and instead of having my dealer modify the factory bucket to accept the QA, I traded him for another used bucket he had on his lot. It has worked out really well. I also bought a set of used forks from him.

I can change bucket attachments in less than 2 minutes. Really handy!!!

I don't know why we are considered a "visitor" and not "new member" like most of the others.

My feelings are a little hurt by this.

My Bobcat grapple has the standard QA plate but with a small difference. I had to grind on 2 small vertical tabs to get it to fit my ATI QA.

These tabs were only on the attachments for the MT500's and not the other Bobcats.

This is a shame because I could have rented the many attachments that are available for the MT500 (rotary broom, trencher, concrete breaker, etc..) if it were not for these 2 small tabs. I could use them but I would have to modify them.

The standard Bobcat attachments would fit on my QA without mods. but they are way to heavy and require more hydraulic flow then my tractor has. Too bad!!
