Good morning guys,

I recently purchased a 2005 B7510 with a LA 302 loader and backhoe. First off I want to say before this tractor, yes I was a Deere guy. I have to say the past is the past and I am very pleased with this new to me machine. I could really use front pallet forks for the machine the more I am using it. I was wondering what would be the best course of action... Would it be best to try to convert the front to a quick attach adapter or would a set of bolt of pallet forks do the job? I called my local kubota dealer and they stated due to the tractors limited lift capabilities and with the bucket extending the clamp on forks that it might not be the best option. That being said has anyone converted the front of these old machines to use the quick attach? If so, are there kits that you can buy or does the set up have to be basically custom fabricated? Thank you!

mwzad - I have a 2003 B7500 with the LA302 loader. I have had the Tach-N-Go quick attach and pallet forks from WWW.MYTRACTORTOOLS.COM since this summer. I love my setup. I suggest that you contact Jere Dunn and discuss your needs. Jere is a great guy to work with. I don't know if he lists the LA302 on the website, but he has made at least the one.

Best wishes!

Thanks for the reply rusty. Does that work the same as the universal quick attach? It looks alittle different to me? Thanks!

mwzad - No, the Tach-N-Go does not attach to the tool (bucket, forks, etc,) in the same way that the universal skid steer attaches. The Tach-N-Go attaches to the three pin locations used for the BX-Series tools. So, your existing bucket will need to be modified to work with the Tach-N-Go, as would other front tools with four pin attachment points. The modification to my bucket required cutting off the existing brackets for the four pin attachment points, and then welding a MYTRACTORTOOLS supplied bracket (adapter) to the bucket. Or, you could buy a bucket, or other tools, for a BX.

My modified bucket is shown in this pix:
