Bobcat quick attach on a deere 46A loader

pms · Mar 3, 2018

Started a little project today.With this
skid steer quick attach I'll be able to go
from a bucket to forks to a bale grapple
without the hassle of driving pins in and
out.Still need to build upper brackets and
reinforce lower brackets.Also need to plumb
extra hydraulic lines to front of tractor
for grapple.

Just some advice from someone who has a collection of bent and broken cylinders.

Make sure you build some travel stops on the bottom that will hold the force when the bucket or spear is forward tilted.
The stops need to be strong enough to hold the full force and prevent the cylinders from exceeding there designed travel length.

Without stops your tilt cylinders can travel over center of the lower pivots, they will then get locked up and bend.

If you drive into something solid while forward tilted and have no stops you will bend your rods and or rip out the end of your cylinders.
