New hardware

[frysl]

Just finished up adding a quick hitch adapter to the tractor. Went very smooth. Now I just need for the third function kit to show up so I can start using this grapple.
After I get that done, I need to have the new mounting plate for the loader bucket welded on so I can use that with the adapter.

Nice looking grapple. Appears to be strongly built!

Which adapter did you get? 3rd function?

I ordered a full mounting plate (center not cut out) 5/16" plate delivered off of Ebay for $129 about three months ago, but now they're up to $141 (but still not bad price because it includes shipping).

It’s a ProWorks adapter. Bought it from SkidSteerAttacments in Huntsville AL.
the third function kit is a Kubota kit that I bought thru Summit Hydraulics in AZ.

I picked up a full mounting plate as well. i don’t trust my welding skills to competently do this job, so I’ll take the bucket and the mount to a fabrication shop to weld together.

That's wise.

Like the great philosopher, Harry Calahan, used to say, "A good man knows his limitations."

I'm with you. I can weld, but I'll keep my welding to non-safety kind of stuff until I'm a lot better than I am now.

But, yes.....it is sage advice.

Close The version you quoted is the ending line.

The version I quoted is from earlier in the movie.
