Plate thickness for Q/A adaptor?

[LondonDave]

Did you get it back yet, are you happy with it? How many bales will you carry at one time?

I am not sure if you are talking about the top "bar" where the Q/A attaches. I have built several skid steer attachments, we have bent 3/8" top bars a few times. I prefer 1/2" on anything that digs or that needs to pry. My home-built hay spear has two large spears...I can stick and move two large round bales at a time...the top "bar" is 3/8" angle iron. I can get you a picture if you need it...but sounds like you have it covered.

Good luck.

I did get it back. Very happy with it. They did an excellent job. I used it yesterday to unload and move some 4x5 round bales. The new 2 prong spear works so much better than that stupid bucket mount thing that I was using. I can only carry 1 bale at a time, or at least I've only tried to carry 1. My loader is rated for 1800 pounds but I don't think it would carry 2 800 pound round bales.

I'll have to take some picks of what they did so that anyone that comes along and reads this thread will know what was done.
