Switch from pin on to quick change

[Builder]

How costly is this to do?

For example, If a JD 5210 series has a 541 loader with a pin on bucket, what is the difficulty & cost to switch to a quick attach on the loader arms?

for reference, for kubota I got one from ATI - around $600 as I recall. I'd bet they do JD as well, and can't imagine the price would be hugely different (adjusting for iron price raises)

I bet JD might do it as well with a standard piece.

So this is just a matter of buying a bolt on bracket or set of brackets for the ends of the loader arms that have the quick connect pins mounted in them?

Yes, but you will need to either mod your bucket or buy another with the QA receiver to match the bracket mount on the loader.

Yeah thanks, I realized that, too. Just happens that I'm looking at a grapple bucket anyway, so the GP pin on bucket would prolly get sold. My CASE has an FFC quick attach, which is a little different and it was pricey to add, but i guess that's because it's a lot bigger piece of iron.

I think you have to add a "Bumper" or stop to keep the bucket from dropping to far at full dump. If I was considering a change I would talk to someone in service at a dealership or look at a model with the quick attach and determine if a bumper or stop is need.
