Why No Quick Attach Bucket on BX's?

[robertm]

Why No Quick Attach Bucket on BX's? Or the B's for that matter? I see the Green Machines have quick attach fron loader buckets that come off in a snap. Why can't Kubota do that? I can't see it putting that much more weight on the FEL and decreasing the lift capacity by much. It sure would be nice to drop the bucket at grab some forks made for the machine instead of aftermarket ones. Is there an aftermarket set-up like this besides the BXpanded forks?

The B has a quick attach bucket as we have been discussing for the past few months. It just isn't the skid steer quick attach bucket. On the B, don't know about BX, yet, 2 easy to remove pins at the bottom of bucket and the bucket drops off.

I expect the bean counters said "no". Same reason the ROPS knobs are missing on all the B2x20s.

Here a good thread about this; http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/113942-bx-fel-bucket-quick-attach.html

There used to be a company that made one ATI but had failures if I recall and stopped making them.

This set up looks great and looks like real good workmanship.
I just wonder how much capacity will be lost with the bucket further 6" forward?

I run out of lift power a lot were it is.

That is a sweet system. I wonder how much is the quick attach plate ? I can see myself to modify the snow plow I have to it.

I emailed that company to see if they are selling them so if I get a response back I'll let you guys know.
