AGCO 5680 & 780SL Loader Questions

[TugCaptain]

Just picked up a 1998 AGCO 5680 MFWD with a 780SL self leveling loader. I know this is a SAME Explorer 80 & all the other details I can get on tractordata.com, but otherwise not a whole lot of info on the internet about these. Super rugged and simple machine - will fit in nicely with my 2011 4120 John Deere on my property.

Anyway, I am hoping to get some forks for this loader & it does have it's own version of a quick attach, I just don't know how or where to adapt it to anything current. Anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks

Assuming it's an ALO loader...

The Euro mount is much STRONGER than the skid steer mount and that's why ALO uses it in the first place. That's the mount bigger tractors use, because they bend/trash the skid steer mount.

ALO has the tools you want, forks grapple ect... AND although expensive, they are of the highest quality, and as far as I'm concerned, worth it.

Thanks for the reply - so this is the euro mount, excellent. I had heard about it but never seen one

So this isn't a euro mount - bottom pin is directly below the top. Next chance i get I'll take the bucket off a get a couple better pics
