ECOTRIC Pair Skid Steer Quick Tach Attach Conversion Adapter Weld on Quick Attachment Plate Bobtach Kubota Latch Box Plate Weld On QTK Tractor Universal Front Attachment

Great product & Great price!

The media could not be loaded. You need to add a 7/8 Id washer to the handle post and a thicker washer or tension will not hold the handle up or down. Build quality is good. Weighs around 150lbs

For the price its well worth it. I got it to install on a new idea loader. I cut off mounting brackets from an old manure bucket and welded them on quick attach. It's heavy enough for a 60hp tractor range.

Perfect

As stated elsewhere, this item will need some work done to the locking pin mechanisms before it will work properly. I had to grind off the handle plate to allow the locking pins to retract fully, and I did need to grind some on the connector bolt to clear the steel sidewall for full retraction. I think the welded cavity that the mechanism sets in is too small to allow full travel of the pins. After I got the pins to retract completely, I had to add a stop on the other side of the handles to keep the arms from going too far past center and loosening up the pins after they were fully inserted. All in all, it seems to be a heavy duty product and should last forever but modifications did need to be made. If I had to do it over again, I think I would have just purchased the locking mechanisms and made that work. Between the 150# attachment and the 50# bucket adapter, it will add about 6" of length beyond the pivot pin and reduce the overall lifting capacity.

I saw a few reviews about how there is nothing to keep the handle from Rotating all the way back over or past the cam, which is true. But this isn't meant to be a completed assembly as the price reflects. But it is a good base to complete a custom quick attachment connection. But make no mistake there is a substantial amount of fabrication work left to complete but this is an excellent start to that project.

OK for the price but very very sloppy manufacturing, fabrication and assembly. IT won't be usable out of the box until re-work is done.The pivot holes are way too sloppy for a smooth operation. I show the oversized hole in picture 5. The lock pin pivot knuckle it machined too tall for the thickness of the steel (picture 6) arm so when trying to operate the mechanism, it cocks on an angle and jams up. I had to grind the excess height off to take out the slop and it has a proper pivot action to allow operation on this joint but the top pivot arm was sloppier and just didn't pivot at all. I found that the person assembling this didn't understand that the spring is for proper tension against the main arm/handle and allows for mis-alignment. There was a close fitting washer on the top and bottom of the spring rendering the spring useless. I changed the washer under the spring to a 3/4" I.D. washer to allow the spring to actually apply proper pressure and it works now, picture 2. Another issue shown in picture 1, is one of the pivot towers is welded in at an angle which further adds to all the alignment binding issues. Lastly, there wasn't any lube on anything so dis-assembly is necessary to properly lube the pivot points. The rework in total took an hour and requires the grinding so still usable but if you can't or don't want to do the added work, don't purchase this one. As far as fitting the quick attach plates, they do, and they do align properly. Another review mentioned the over centering and releasing the pins when handles are down, This is true if you don't have other structure of the machine preventing this, I have the arm pivots that will prevent an issue, just something to be aware of. Overall you get what you pay for and these are a lot cheaper than the 600-700 dollar sets available.

It seems reasonably made, but attachments will pop off under downpressure because the spring tension isn't right.First, on the handle spring, the short one, you need to create friction. Make sure the stud is inserted into the handle with the SHORT end of the thread, mine was backwards. Find an spare large washer somewhere and insert it between the handle and the frame, else you will get no friction at all.Then cut a 1.25" length of 1/2" black pipe to act as a bushing between the stud and the spring, else it'll flop around all over the place and skew sideways. Assemble as washer, spring, washer, nut, nut (double nut to lock, it is actually shown like this in the photos).Then you have to create more spring tension on the larger spring because it's too weak. If you tighten it down more, you'll make it worse because it'll draw the wedges up. Remove the top nylock nut, and insert about 3/4" - 1" of packing (stack of washers, or washer, oversized nut, washer) between the top of the spring and the square block. Use the handle to compress the assembly back down (it may catch, just wiggle it around) so you get get the nut started. Then release to get it back where you can tighten it down until it's just fully engaged.The handles should end up requiring significant effort to move, and locking down firmly into place. Good luck ....
