FEL quick attach

[ranger danger]

I'm going to put a quick attach on my Kubota loader. I have found 4
companies making them for my loader (LA1002). I'm leaning away from Titan because I don't have the time to spend welding it together. That leaves me Erskin, ATI, and W L Long. Price's are within $100 for the three. ATI and WL Long are 3 to 4 weeks out to shipping. Erskin says 7 to 10 days. Opinions on which one to get!?

Update:
WR not WL and Erskin buys there's from ATI so, WR long or ATI?

Have you priced parts from Kubota? About 10 years ago I converted a NH and bought everything from them. At the time, I believe it was the cheapest option.

WR Long but I have a few of their implements and they are tough as nails. I've been to their factor in Tarboro, NC, I lost a hinge pin to my grapple and they walk me into the factory floor and handed me a new one out of a bin.

I tried to pay but they wouldn't take my money...

(in reality, I have not heard anyone complain about either QA)

Yes I tried Kubota. First they said they had one and ordered it. Said it would arrive in 5 days. 2 weeks later it arrived and was the wrong one. Then they said they never made one for my loader. I checked with everything attachments and ATI has the shortest lead time so I ordered one from them.

RangerDanger, Do your attachements need a QA? Or are they pin-ons?

If they are pin-ons, you’ll have no small addt’l expense converting them as well.

I have an LA1002 also. I bought a really simple quick-attach custom made for my LA1002 that allows me to quickly and simply drop a pin-on attachment, then pic up another pin-on attachment with no more trouble than operating a skid-steer-QA.

Here’s a video of such and adapter. I bought mine from Dan Heibert:

I keep the upper pin in all my attach’s so I only get off the tractor once to pick up the new implement.

PS: Lot’s less addit’l weight added with this solution, so more FEL capability is retained also.

If you contact Dan, remind him I was his prototype LA1002 so he’ll know the unique differences of our loaders. (I don’t get anything for recommending Dan, I just am so impressed with his product I want him to succeed.)

I have several attachments that are QA ( forklift, jib boom, post and stump puller etc.).
