I've got a Woods BH90X hoe that I am very pleased with, but changing between my two buckets is more of a chore than I anticipated. Instead of messing with it I find myself just putting up with using the wrong sized bucket 1/2 the time. I don't use the hoe a ton, but it is annoying just the same. Is there a quick attach out there that any of you have used on your machines that you like? A manual pin setup where you just have to insert the rear pin I'm thinking would be just fine. The main thing I want is to be able to use the Gannon buckets I already have. I think that would be the simplest in case I ever buy any more buckets or attachments. The only one I can seem to find is one built by Amulet. It is $900 before shipping, so I'm also thinking about having the local welding shop build me one if they are interested. I'm curious what everyone else does, or do you just put up with the factory setup???

When I built my BH I made the bucket quick attach, I couldn't imagine having to drive out greasy pins everytime I wanted to switch buckets.
I thought Woods had a sandwich type adaptor for their larger hoes? If not I would check with the local fab shop and maybe draw up a quick idea of what you want.

Great question Deere 4720, I have a BH90X on my NH TC40S and at times wondered the same thing as I switch between bucket and tooth.

Quick attach bucket is listed as an option on the BH90X, not sure if it's an adaptor that uses the stock bucket or not.
Might want to call Woods or a dealer and see if it's what you're looking for.
