Glad to find out about the CANBus Controller adapter and that it will work on my V417. :thumbsup:

Yes. The CB-400 will work on a Versahandler.

Doesn't look like anything I need for my little tractor, but welcome to TBN. Always good to know who makes good stuff out there.

I have been looking for a strong SSQA Hitch to replace this cumbersome combination of a 3 point adapter and hitch.



Will yours handle the 3,560 pounds on the gooseneck ball? The trailer weighs 10,480 empty and puts a lot of sideways load on the hitch when jackknifing into position.

I would bolt the hitch plate in the top position.

 

[Skid Steer Solutions]

Hello and thanks for your questions. The hitch has a 6000 lb. rating. This is because most skid steer loaders cannot lift more than 3000 lbs. There are a few approaching 4000 lbs. now. It was intended to align with the class three specifications given to automotive. Lift wise we should be fine. Side to side should be good as well because we use a 2 to one safety factor in our designs. We move our equipment trailers around with it and they weigh up to 16,000 lbs. Usually the skid steer lets you know by tipping if something is too heavy. We designed this idea 20 years ago and have never had a complaint. From the looks of how many companies are making these, I guess we should have applied for a patent.

If you need anything else, let us know.

I just now ordered the dual hitch version.



Thanks for the discount. :thumbsup:

Got it today, Friday.

It is the strongest plate that I have seen on a hitch and the receivers are a one piece casting. Came with grade 8 bolts for the tapped mounting holes.


Good fit at the top, a little gap at the bottom, but the latch pins have good penetration.


Being able to see the ball from the seat is one of the reasons that I bought this hitch.


And I can pull two trailers at the same time! :laughing:

Well that turned out great and I see what you mean by that added vision :thumbsup: And yes, sometimes their can be a little space but you are correct by realizing that as long as your pins penetrate, then it will work flawlessly. Thank you for the excellent photos and well thought out review, we really appreciate the detail and of course those photos.

All of the Eterra products are over engineered for added reliability and resiliency. All pieces are powder coated and Eterra only use the finest components, castings and hardware.

If you ever need any other plates, adapters or even any sort of attachment, let us know and we will be sure to come up with a great solution at a very fair price for you!

The view from the seat, hooking up a trailer with the lower ball mount.

Raised the boom and curled down enough to see the top of the ball.

Moved forward until the ball was under the coupler.

The side view.

Curled up and moved it, don't even need to latch it on to park it.

Sure like the Dual Hitch Plate. :thumbsup:

 

[Skid Steer Solutions]

You have my permission to use any of the photos.

Here is another view from the seat showing the ball.

Opened the door, pulled forward until the ball is under the gooseneck hitch.

Raised the boom.

3,560 pounds on the ball, note the jack plate is off of the wood.

I have used the Eterra Dual Plate Hitch many times to back the horse trailer into the barn. :thumbsup:

 

[Skid Steer Solutions]

Wow! You really are taking that plate for a whirl. Looks a lot like you are getting the full value of the Dual Hitch Plate from Skid Steer Solutions : Skid Steer Attachments, Adapters and Electronics for Skid Steer Loaders, Excavators, and Mini Skid Steers

Seriously though, thank you so much for the photos. I didn't see the most recent ones because of the busy spring season going on but I am sure you will see them on our website and facebook page very soon. Thanks again!:thumbsup:
