There seems to be a lot of discussions around quick connecting systems for FEL's but can't find any threads about quick connects for backhoes. Been looking at large construction equipment and the systems they use, nice stuff, some with hydraulic locking mechanisms.

Want to do the same for my small backhoe. I could do some drawings and get the parts laser cut but have no idea about the thickness of material or what type of steel to specify.

Is there any thought about if/how a quick connecting system would affect the performance of the hoe (changes to angle etc)?

I would love to be able to switch between bucket, blade, frost pick, crane hook, even grapple.

Pretty slick. That system would require significant modification to my bucket and potential any other bucket I pick up from my local tractor salvage yard. The other drawback is that you can't reverse the bucket, not that I would need that functionality that often but it would be nice if I had to undercut or dig under utilities.
