B7510 HST - How to get quick attach bucket/loader attachments?

[Blk88GT]

When I bought this tractor, I never thought I'd need more than a bucket. How I can now see the error of my ways. I would love to have a set of pallet forks, bucket and something I can use to move trailers around the yard.

Is there any way to add the ability to drop the bucket easily to this tractor? Or am I stuck with a major upgrade?

I have a B3200 with the LA504 FEL. When I bought it I also got the Kubota QA setup for it. It's definitely worth the upgrade.

I seem to remember reading somewhere here on TBN where somebody had used the Kubota QA for the LA504 on their LA402 loader. It might be worth doing some measure on the spacing of the loader arms on your LA302 and comparing them to the loaders on some other Kubota tractors.

There's always going to a Skid Steer Quick Attach style setup - but that is going to cost more money and it's also going to weigh more.

I am in the same boat. I have the bucket the FEL came with, a 4 in 1 bucket, my grapple, and now I need a set of pallet forks. I have been saving for this upgrade. I will be getting quick attach system and 4 plates from WR Long. Figured since my 4-N-1 and grapple came from them, I'd get this upgrade as well.

I can't wait to get this done. I would use my different attachments more often, but it is a pain to keep switching out the pins.

I had this same issue but I'm lucky enough to have a some basic metal working tools and a welder. And I fabricated a quick attach that now works for my bucket, pallet forks and snow blade. The design is basically Kubota's but I beefed it up to add some hooks and a hitch receiver. Here's a link to my posting on this project:

When you do get a quick attach, be sure it is a Standard Skid Steer adapter... There are several out there that "look" like they are standard... but are not.
With a Standard adapter, you have a Lot of opportunity to pick up various attachments For a Lot less than a proprietary adapter...Uni-Hitch Adapter System for Front End Loaders
