I have been, for years, toying with the idea of converting my pin loader to a quick attach. I've always puckered at spending $1500 for the tractor part. I keep looking for alternatives and found some at around $400, but they look a little sketchy. Anyone have experience with a decent alternative?

What could go wrong? LOL. You know the answer….$400 vs $1500?
Inferior materials, lack of engineering, shoddy sweatshop workmanship, and no customer support is where the cost savings come from.

Do you have a link to this less exspensive unit. I went wit HF 3 pt quick attach works great with some mods. I would probably be modding the one for 2 to 3 times the HF one.

Quality is NOT directly related to the price tag !
heck the LA340 frame BROKE on my BX23S, K wanted $2500 cdn for the replacement, + 13% for the guvs of course.
Nissan gets $532 cdn for a 3' piece of plastic.....

Please read the first post, he is talking about converting from a pinned on loader bucket to a quick attach one, presumably the SSQA style.
I was able to buy the ssqa for a different loader and it fit my bf350 from kubota for $550. Someone else had measured their loader and then started measuring loaders on new tractors till he found one that fit.
If I didn't do that I would go the $400 universal kit and have a welding shop fit it up for me. If I couldn't already weld that is.
