SX3100 quick attach conversion ??

[DMacLeod]

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a used SX3100 and am wondering if there is a way to put on a quick attach conversion for the front bucket. Any help is appreciated.

Its not clear to me if the SX3100 conforms to a particular standard, but this company makes a lot of QA conversion kits including universal and weld-on models.

I'm kinda in the same boat wondering if it's worth doing the conversion. Only other attachment I want (so far) is forks for loader. What I have seen is most conversions run about $750. And once converted now the original bucket needs to have work done to it or replaced. May just have something fabricated to work with existing (yanmar quick connect).
I guess it comes down to how many attachments in all you really need for the front. If only one or two it may not be worth the cost of conversion. Just my 2cents.

That is kind of where I am now. I have a set of clamp on forks from my old Kubota but don't like them. The leverage is too far forward.

I also had the clamp on bucket forks. Just sold them. I think they are good for very light duty stuff. Now what I think I'll end up doing is buying the pallet fork attachment from Titan and cutting off the JD hook ups and having someone fab it up to attach to Yanmar. Cheapest way I can figure. $355 for the fork frame plus fab work. Maybe $500 when done.
Still cheaper than doing a conversion. If you come up with another way let us know.

I put a SSQA on my 32 hp Ford. Love it switch from bucket to forks in a few seconds. It did not take away much from lift capacity. Here is a picture of me moving a third cut silage bale. It weighs probably a little over 1,000 lbs. From what I can find my loader is rated at 800 lbs to max height.

I have a .dxf file of the quick attach for the cl200 loader for the sx3100. It is the 2 ends on the bucket that hook on the loader and you slide the pins thruogh. with this file you can have someone waterjet or laser out the brackets. the dxf is attach to this post as a zip file. I made a quick attach for my snowplow, so these brackets have notches drawn in for 2 x 2 tube but you can ajust for yourself. remember when welding that they will move around so be careful welding so they still line up when you are done.

Well I'm a little closer. A couple of weeks ago I split the back of my bucket loading big rocks from the back of my pick up. I called the dealer and he had a new bucket for an EX3200 in stock so I went up and bought it.

Now I have the extra bucket. Once I find a bare set of forks I'll have the brackets cut off and welded on. It is just tough to tell from pictures what will work. I don't want to spend $600 for a set and find out out I can't get the brackets to fit.

Bumping an old post from the dead, but I was hoping someone still had the .zip or .dxf that was originally posted here. It looks like the only thing attached now is a .jpg.
