Comparison The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long After the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten

[ptsg]

Nothing wrong with the SSQA? So the constant threads popping up frequently about attachments coming off resulting in twisted frames is nothing wrong? Honestly, I'm surprised there are not a bunch of lawsuits going on on that quick attach because an attachment came out and hurt someone.

At least the Euro quick attach offers a positive lock with a pin sliding through an hole. Even if the operator forget to lock the attachment, he really needs to try very hard, like almost jumping the tractor, for the thing to come out of the top hooks.

There was a legal case I read about a couple of weeks ago about a Kioti dealer that had a grapple unmount from the SSQA on the loader and fell off and severely hurt him. Daedong ended up getting sued.

Probably not lol, I had to search to see what a non-live pto was, seems miserable.

My entire point is that you're only really gimping your decision making by pre-excluding brands. If you're buying a 10 dollar stapler then it's probably okay to just go with what you know works. But for something that costs normally 20k and up, I'll spend the 30 minutes to check out JD's website. I know it didn't take me long when I was shopping to drop JD off my list, but I'm glad that I turned that stone just to make sure there wasn't something I might have wanted.

30 minutes, I spend more time on what toaster I should get or what blender I should order online. Got to do a bit more than that.....

My skid steer has a hydraulic lock which fixes most of the problems with it coming undone but it’s still not nearly as strong as the euro hitch. SSQA is also kinda aggravating to get aligned if it’s on unlevel ground where the euro is better about that.

Such as?

Only you would answer that question.

I have to disagree.

I'm able to change quickly between four different attachments, all from the comfort of my seat with the exception of open/close the arms.

I set them all up on two 4x4 rails and drive up to them... connect/disconnect.

Selection and price is much better too.

Have to agree after changing All of my attachments over from a Fast attach "PIN on set up" to skid steer.

If I ever get to lazy to flip a couple levers I probably should give up using a tractor.
edit:
I am not saying Euro hitch is not superior, But with the "availability" differences in USA for the time being SSQA is pretty much it. Unlatching problems sound like either the breakover center was not adjusted correctly on the levers or the latch completely missed? have seen a few where the angled lock pins did get bent as well, but not likely a real common problem, i hope

I stand corrected on SS

Was in a hurry, "First mistake" yesterday switching from bucket to forks and snapped the levers down when the lower mount on the right side was in the dirt... moved a roll top desk and was going to switch back to the bucket when I went to unlock the right latch notice I had completely missed the lower hole, on top of that the upper angle inverted V that holds the right side of the loaders QA had partially popped out since the lower latch was not locked in when latched.

OOps
In a sense it was my laziness that caused the mis latching, Just glad that I didn't drop the roll top and or damage anything.
