Snow Quick Attach Plow?

[maximus1277]

Thank you all.... I will go quick attach plates.

........ To angle my plow, I ran lines from the rear remotes. I added a bracket to the fel mounting post where the normal fel QDs are and added two more. I run lines from the remotes to these QDs which stay on the tractor all the time. The fel arms have their own lines going from the QDs to another bracket....

Victor... Can you take a few pics when you have a moment?

Give me a few days. -2F right now waiting for it to hit -10. Have only been outside with the tractor when I need to plow the driveway. This is when I think about a cab...any kind.

My CK30hst is a 2004 year, pin on bucket, and before Kioti started using the QA mount. I ordered the Kioti QA mount for a newer CK and it fit perfectly. Pulling pins and remounting something is a PITA. My bucket, forks, and snow blade all have QA now. It's very fast. I'd never go back.

I run lines from the remotes to these QDs which stay on the tractor all the time. The fel arms have their own lines going from the QDs to another bracket on the fel cross brace which has two more QDs and this stays on all the time. The plow has two short lines that connect to these QDs. I did this so I can take off the fel just as it originally comes off and I have two QDs at the front of the fel arms if I want them for something else.

Very nice, I have the same setup, only 2008 I think it is. Did you adapt your existing bucket with a QA plate or something? Mind giving me a ballpark of what it cost you to set up the front end with the QA?

Back in May 2011, the QA mount for the loader arms was $300 plus @ $50 in shipping. It's what Kioti currently used on their newer model KL130 loaders. It fits perfectly. Just pull your pins, remove the bucket, and install the mount. I ended up getting the newer Kioti bucket that is set up for the QA and is larger than my original. Any brand QA bucket will work or you could weld on a QA plate to yours. I'm pretty sure Michigan Iron has the QA plates and probably could get you the Kioti QA mount. Nice people to deal with. I still have my original pin on bucket and occasionally pull pins and remount when I'm doing some nasty rock work. The QA mount does move the bucket a few inches forward so your lift and curl will be a little less. Enough that I can notice it but not a problem.

Thanks Vic!

I wish i could find something that would work that quick at that price to convert my ck2510. It would save alot of time, measuring and welding to switch to the ssqa.

What does QDs stand for?

Quick Detach fittings, ( end of hydraulic hose, male or female coupling, 'fittings'). And in this thread they're talking about the FEL arm ends that have 'feet' that quick attach to a plate welded or bolted to an implement like a bucket or grapple, etc.
