Loader Quick Attach for DL95 (GC1700 series tractors)

Roman, No Mention of the pins.... I like your design with the hooks a little better also
...

$339 is quite good price, especially if it is made in US or Canada, I am not sure if I can make it for that money.
Hard to beat the economy of scale too, I would have to make a batch of at least 30 or so...
Then I am not sure what the sipping would be.

Looks like dealers have quite wide profit margins, or maybe there are some caveats attached to each quote?

Hi Fiziksgeek,

Do you know if pins are included in that price?
I will not get a chance to see local dealer until Friday.

Thanks,
Roman

Dealer says yes, pins included.

Fitz- Quote was from Goffs, in an email... I like your price better...

Interesting. Who did you talk to? I sent Tim Goff an e-mail directly.

Justin. He sold me my tractor. I would like to see it in person, I wonder how complicated it is to make...

I called two local dealers, neither one of them could tell me the price but they promised to find out and call me back.
It is going to be a week tomorrow and I still do not have price.
At least they were able to find it in the system, but did not have access to the price.
Go figure....

The MF part number is 72533918M.

I have got over-the-phone quotes from two dealers in the area, one said "around" $350 (but he also said it could be higher if it is a special order and requires a separate shipping), the other one said "around" $500.
This is in Canadian dollars.

I will go ahead with my prototype in coming weeks, will post pictures and/or video once it's done.

Wow..... My local dealer quoted me $269 plus transportation for him to order it.

As I said, that's in Canadian dollars, with current exchange rate, $350CAD would be around $275USD.
Plus transportation.

$269 is closer to what I would want to pay, and stops me from making it in house....
