Bucket Fork

[JJZ 109]

Everything Attachments had a post the other day showing some new pages they have and one of them shows a QA Converter.

Here is that thread

then here is the converter page they mention

W.R. Long pin on tractor mount to universal quick attach adapter | Free Shipping for 1,000 miles!!

They say it will fit over 750 tractors out there

Thanks Yooper. I had my eye on that at one time, but it's looking like about $200 more than Washburn.
I do have Everything Attachments bookmarked though. Never know what the future holds for attachments!:thumbsup:

I've gone ahead and ordered a SSQA for the LA 403 from Washburn. I currently have my eye on these forks: Skid Steer Attachments Pallet Forks Hay Spears Bobcat Cat John Deere Mount Plate
Also have my eye on these but as yet haven't come up with a price. The pic also looks like there's no skid steer attach plate on it.
COMPACT X-TREME DUTY Shaft Mounted Pallet Fork
Suggestions for any lightweight alternatives are appreciated. The capacity for a 403 is only 882 lbs., which will probably be decreased slightly because the forks/bucket will be slightly forward of the loader arms with the new SSQA. Hence the reason to keep the forks as light as possible.

If you have a Ritchie Bros. Auction anywhere nearby, they auction those kinds of forks quite often. Search "skid steer attachment".
