Quick Attach mystery on Dk45sehst

[bullopa]

I had an interesting thing happen with my quick attach on my Kioti the other day. I was working on digging up some stump and a big root came up between the bucket and the loader arm crossbar and hit the release handle just right to open it up and dislodge the bucket. Couldn't do it again if I tried

You might not be able to do it again if you try but it will happen again sometime if you are rooting around in brush. I welded a little loop on the tip of the lock handle and then use a sturdy trucker's solid bungee to hold it in place (loop around the tube under the handle then back to the welded loop. You can also drill a hole in the handle tip as MotorSeven did.

I ahve to do some stump removal the weekend. I think you should bring up your root grapple and give it to me. I'll definitely look into doing something to keep it from happening again. Thanks.

One suggestion.....(don't ask me how I know this ) you might consider adding a good grade of expanded metal to your grill guard as soon as you can. If you are doing alot of work w/ brush and stuff, you'll be glad you did.

Here's what I ended up doing.....just a suggestion....

I haven't done that myself, but have heard a couple of folks doing the same thing when using the grapple.
