quick attache pins not holding up

Parfleche · Sep 7, 2006

Hello,
I noted that there is a discusssion in the "Attachement" area of this site and a persom with a kabota lost his loader bucket while backdragging. The pins could not take this type of usage. Has this happend with quick attache on any of the blue loaders? I was on the verge of buying the quick attache for my 16la, but if the the loader is stronger with out it I may reconsider.

Highest Regards,
Steve Gill

Steve, don't waste your time worrying anymore about this. The NH system is the same as is used on thousands of skid-steer loaders. It is fast, easy, solid, and reliable. The only thing you will have to do to it is grease the pins (it has zerks). The Kubota and John Deere proprietary systems are quite different from the NH system. After not having it for several years and finally getting it installed, I can tell you there is no feature of my FEL I like better.

I completely agree with Jim. The NH Quick Attach bucket is a must with the loader. You can quickly drop the bucket or switch out attachments. I recently purchased off brand pallet forks that were subtantially less expensive than NH and fit-up with no problems. The system is solid as evidenced by the thousand of skid steers using it. I have moved a couple of 100 tons of material with no issues.
