Quick attatch from ATI

[godaddy]

Looking @ the quick attatch for my 2001 jd 790 with a 70a loader. Has anyone on here done this? And add a pic if u have please. Thanks, David

Know one!

Am wondering why anyone would want one. Seems there are very few attachments that are needed for the FEL that would use an ATI.
What would be your use?

Are talking here about an ATI SSQA ?

I have the ATI quick attach on my TLB. It has worked well for 8 years although the only accessory I have is a set of forks.

Then there's stone forks.

Presumably. I've thought of buying one myself but since the 70A doesn't have a spectacular weight lift ability, I don't want to add something that reduces what I'm able to carry.

The JDQA while somewhat less versitile would be my choice if I could do it. Actually saw a 70A on eBay this past week with a JDQA on it so maybe it's actually possible.

Chris at Artillian Tractor is working on a conversion to the JDQA setup. Not sure on a date (probably be a while though):thumbsup:

Such a thing would be of great interest to me. Very great.

I'm wanting to get something like the new loaders r. Where i can take the bucket off when not needed. add forks, run a grapple. Thats ? i'm wanting 2 do.

i have the ATI quick skid steer compatible QA for my 03 Kubota that was necessary to hook up to my new grapple. It works ok. I have had a little trouble with the sliding pin mechanism that locks the implement in place. It is a little fragile. It holds just fine but tends to get deformed and requires hammering, banging, cursing to release it when the time comes to change the front implement. The design for the tubular housing that the pin slides in is poor, as it tends to get deformed which binds the pin. I have to ream it out occasionally to free up the pin. So it works, but just not as well as it should, and takes some tinkering to keep it functioning. On the other hand, I don't know of what other option I had. Some day, I am going to get fed up and modify it to strengthen it, but for now, I just keep my hammer handy when I change implements, and hope no neighbors hear me banging and cussing.

Thanks HCJ! That's exactly what I am wanting 2 do also. If u can post a couple of pics that would be nice. If not, still that was the feedback I am wanting to hear. Anyone else make something like that? Thanks!

I can take some pictures this weekend. THe QA works fine, so don't let my negative post prevent you from buying one. I don't change it often, as my grapple is my main FEL tool, so it's not a big deal. It is just frustrating to have to hammer the pin out sometimes when it should just slide. I bought a 1" (or maybe 11/8"??) drill bit to ream out the sleeve when it gets deformed and won't let the pin slide. So I have to do this occasionally, but it still works fine, just a PITA to have to do this. If I changed out implements more often, I would spend a little time with my welder modifying it.
