Quick Attach option

[techinNY]

The only time I get off the seat when changing attachments is to flip the levers. Bobcat only uses one cylinder for the Power Bob-tach on their units. I am in the process of designing an electric operated control for the hyd. connections on the front of my loader (see thread "which hi/lo switch) for more info. Now that you mention it, a power quick tach would work nice off the front couplers. Only problem is, I'd have to swap hoses from the power quick tach to the grapple bucket. The only difference from the Bobcat is that the Bobcat is plumbed so that there is always pressure sent to the power bobtach to keep the levers from working their way up due to vibration and internal leakage inside the cylinder. Another project heh Jinman? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The problem with so many good ideas is that it's hard to decide which one to do first. The second hardest thing is to stay focused on the first idea until it's done. If you don't, you end up with lots of half-finished "good" projects. Don't ask me how I know. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That's it! It looks like it attaches to the latch pin arms and simply moves them - like having an extra guy on the ground...
Thanks for finding it!

Just goes to show you that if you think it could sale than somewhere it probably is for sale. That’s great; I think it would really help those of us that change implement often.

This week I went to my Cat dealer’s barbeque. I got a chance to look at the Cat hydraulic coupler. It uses two cylinders. I was going to try to explain it but I will just try and provide a picture. I finally talked to someone who actually knew about them and they do sell them. They cost $720 plus shipping. I thought that price was good but I see Kasco beats that. I’m going to put it on my list. As soon as some others projects get done I will be getting it. The Cat price is for a completely new plate. The Kasco one looks like an add on to your existing plate.
