What attach system do I have?

Medgerton · Jun 18, 2021

I have been told that I have a global euro attach system, but I just wanted to check on here and make sure. I am trying to order a frame with heavy duty pallet forks and I just want to order the right piece of equipment. I've attached some pictures of my tractor loader with nothing on it. Any help identifying, or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your loader doesn't appear to have any quick attach devise unless you unpinned it from the loader.

You have a pin on system.

This is what the back of your bucket would look like if it was a global euro quick hitch:

Looking at some 1040 loader picutres online, it's possible to see some sort of hook and pin style quick attach, similar to the Euro style.

I second Rick. Wondering if the OP took the attachment on the wrong pins and took the quick attach with it.

There are some different variations of the Euro style as well.

I just read your fork frame thread: Pallet Fork Frame with no forks?

That homemade frame is the global euro carrier system:

You can buy attachments that will fit that frame. Measure your bucket to see which size it is.

In these photos, you are down yo the pin mounts (no quick attach on the loader). If removing pins is your only means of changing attachments, then consider a SSQA unit in your tractor and mounting plates for each attachment. This os by far the most common type of system in the US.
Be forewarned, if you add a QA you will give up some lifting capability. You will lose the weight of the QA unit ad well as your weight being pushed further away from the lower set of pins (pivot point).

He removed the homemade global euro quick attach for those pictures.

Ok so I have a pin on style loader, and the previous owner made a frame that would attach global euro attachments which is what is on the back of my bucket. I do like the frame that I have now, it is pretty beefy. And the bucket that came with my rig, I really like it. I can't see buying a frame to attach to a frame. I think I just need to get a set of forks that I can attach to my frame, like the traditional kind that lock on. I will say this, I've learned a lot here in the past few days. Thank you all for passing on your knowledge and advice it is appropriated.
