Skid Steer-type quick release buckets

When you have a pinned bucket, then get the QA, do you need to get a different bucket to use with it? I just ordered L5030 with LA853 and HD pinned bucket, and am wondering if I should have added QA. Pallet forks would be handy at times.

buckeye, you will need to get a different bucket unless you are handy with a cutting torch and a welder. I really enjoy the my quick attach. I'm glad I got the dealer to change mine out before I bought it.

Yes, get it done first. No mess, no fuss......

QA is a great system.

I have the LA 853 with Q/A. With the kubota bucket I can lift the front of the L5030 off the ground and back drag all day. If fact my tractors first 400 hrs were with a landscaping company and the bottom of the bucket is all dented in and the front cutting edge worn off from backdragging.

I did pop a set of non-kubota pallet forks on it and had them pop off the other day moving logs, I was trying to pull one back to the tractor.

My loader doesn't have the fix it kit and looks like the pins don't even really touch the slots on the pallet forks. Never noticed until now cause you don't back drag forks much!
