I have an M110X with an LA1953 loader. It has the euro global quick connection bucket system with the single manual lever for the two lower pins. Has anyone seen a kit or fabricated a system to convert this to an auto pin system, something I can control from in the cab when switching buckets? I have seen the Komatsu system which has a hydraulic diverter on the 3rd function valve connected to a cylinder controlling the pins. The euro global is similar in design but I have not found a kit to make the conversion. It seems like this kit should exist as this is a common attachment system, either factory Kubota or aftermarket, hydraulic or possibly electric actuated. Anyone know where to look for this? If nobody has seen a kit for this, has anyone fabricated something they are happy with and willing to share your design? Thanks!

is that something like you need?

if so there are a few threads that cover both the hydraulic and electric actuators that you can find using a search

I looked up all the options, I don't see a Factory option for hydraulic closer for that style loader attachment.
I don't see why you couldn't do it, it's just going to take a little design and fabrication.

Thank you! This looks like the skid steer style mounts, but if I am fabricating my own, it is mostly the same approach and same parts that I need. Very helpful, appreciate it.

Do you already have front remotes? Add an electric solenoid valve to divert flow to operate your coupler.
I don't have the third valve in front yet. I can get an aftermarket for $1100. Not sure that is the best approach or an actuator. It might get to cold here for an actuator, most actuators I have seen are only rated to about -5. Thanks.

Yes, that is the setup. I think I can remove the lever system and add a cylinder or actuator between the pins. Just need to figure out a stop so I don't pull the pins to far. If that looks like a hard issue to work around, I might leave the lever system on and connect the cylinder to that instead. That way I retain the stops for the pins. Still thinking that one through. Thanks.
