LB400 vs LB402 loader

[BUB549]

Hi... I have an LB 400 Loader on my l2500dt

I want to convert the loader to skid steer quick attach.

I guess I have 2 questions....
What is the most cost effective way to do this besides buy an 800.00 conversion adapter?

And what is the diff in a LB402 load (for which an adapter is listed) and an LB400 loader for which I found none?
thanks

The most cost effective way to do it is buy the parts and build your own QA for your loader, the plates with pins are only $189.

I go along with Wolf on this. It will be cheaper and probably better. The Kubota QA puts the blade about 4-5" farther forward than it has to be. You have diminished lift and breakout because of it. You also have to really watch where your blade is, in tight turns. Skid steer parts are all on ebay, if nowhere else.
