Pin lock quick attach

I finely found it. It is a ATI product that is only listed in the catalog. Page 27 shows the hitch and page 33 shows that it fits the MFs. This is PDF download. ATI catalog PDF

Guys, After reading this post and Jerry's ATI pdf file , I called them to talk about this quick attach loader unit (for $250 NOT!! ) and the needed plate for the bucket side and although he quoted me pricing for them which was quite pricey IMO he said that I would have to buy it from a dealer.

Prices as quoted quick attach is $619 for loader side and plate for bucket is 209 and you will need a plate for each implement that you may want to use at 209 each ????? OUCH!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif This is how the guy explained it to me ,AM I right or wrong? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Jerry,
Thanks for not giving up on my request!!! After reading Nastys post about price, I think I need to start drawing something up and fabricate it myself. My neighbor has a 30hp John Deere, bite my tungue, with a pretty slick setup to go from bucket to snowplow. Im thinkin I will use that idea and modify to fit. But thanks again for your help!

Here is a picture I took last night after adding the quick attach and putting my original bucket back on. Hook-up is a simple as it gets. I didn't need any special brackets for the bucket side; anything that is set-up to fit where my bucket goes should go right on. The only thing is you need to have top pins in all the items you wish to swap; not a big deal IMO...

That is the MF one that we were originally speaking about. It's as simple as you can get and with the cost of steel, I don't think that I could build anything that would work as good for less money.

DMF, How about a closer up shot, because from the description over the phone from the ATI people this is definately different...now that you can post pics /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I am interested! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif especially if its price is nice...

There is two different ATI quick attach. I am sure that they make more money on the skid steer model, because it seem like a person always has to question them more than once to get the right answer. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

DMF,
Thanks for the picture, like Nasty said, any chance of another closeup and also the price? Did you get it from the local Massey dealer?

I took a close-up this morning, but it's still not the greatest picture. It's not readily apparent, but the top part is a "hook"; you leave a pin in the top hole, slip the hook under it, roll the bucket until it hits the stop, slide the bottom pin (with the handle) in, fasten the quick-clip and away you go. It's really very slick. I'll try to take some pictures with the bucket off this weekend but it's my daughter's birthday party on Saturday and Sunday I have to bust my butt to get my pumpkins planted or they'll never be ready for September/October so additional photos may have to wait ubtil next week...
