CK30 Quick Attach loader

jawmaw · Oct 17, 2004

I have looked at many tractors recently and have decided I want the CK30. What a nice machine!! However I need to use a grapple rake but was told by my local dealer that a quick attach bucket is not available on the 130 loader.

Does anybody have any ideas on how I can accomplish a quick and easy change of buckets?

Any comments or ideas are appreciated.

ATI is on the verge of releasing an after-market quick-release bucket configuration for the CK30.

Would this question be better off in a different forum???

The CK30 is a new model so aftermarket products are just starting to surface. Are you looking for a self-built solution?

I dont have the ability to fabricate anything myself. I will have to buy if something is available.

Click on the "ATI" link I posted above and email them for additional information.

Sodamo, I'm not scolding, but when you put in a URL as long as these TBN URLs are, it makes the page have to be scrolled. When you want to post a URL, it's best to go down to Instant Markup, click on URL, paste the link in the first pop up and then the title into the next pop up. This way, the page will stay the proper size, and no need to scroll sideways. Thanks, John

The quick attach plate for the CK30 is on the market now.
It comes from HLA Horst welding out of Canada.

This looks to be their web site.

Everytime I see a Kioti loade I think of a NH LA loader. The look so close. Is it possible that same setup for a LA loader would work for a Kioti? I have a 12LA loader that I know ATI makes a pin type quick attach. It's around $275. I realize your tractor is a bit bigger (30 hp right?). Maybe they are that close that you can use the same?

Anyway, I am trying to decide if I will make my own or buy one. If anyone want's me to take some measurements just PM me. Good luck, and keep us informed.

Thanks

Thanks for the lesson John. I don't feel scolded. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I knew there had to be a way, but didn't know how. Hopefully, I can figure it out from your directions. I wanted to post the link before I headed out of town, not knowing /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif when I'd get back online.

A quick-attach bucket attachment for the CK25/30 KL130 loader is now available from ATI.

See picture.....

That's great Don
You have any pricing info?

shoppintractors · Oct 30, 2004

From ATI........

 ATI Corporation has completed the QA-KM2 quick attach for the Kioti KL130 loader. It weighs 87 lbs. and will have a retail price of $590.00.

Any recommendations for reasonably priced quik-detach buckets out there? The aftermarket buckets I've priced have been quite a bit more than the standard Kioti KL130 bucket.

Thanks Don!!!

I have not been able to get ATI to return my call. When I called (3 times) I was told I needed to speak with Jansen but he has not called me back.

Do you know if ATI will sell direct to consumers or does my dealer need to place the order??

I dont think you would need to buy another bucket. My dealer said he would weld the quick attach plate on the factory bucket.

The photo appears to be a universal skid steer. Is that the case?

Thanks for getting this info out. I'm sure everyone appreciates it.

Call and ask for Jack Herr.

From ATI advertising info here at TBN.

"If you are interested in purchasing ATI Corporation products for your tractor, please have your dealer contact ATI Corporation, at (800) 342-0905 or by e-mail."

My understanding is this quik-attach is designed for skid-steer compatibility however, I'm not well versed with specific skid steer attachment specifications. I would discuss the specific attachments with ATI and/or your dealer and go from there.

Don- I went to my Kioti dealer today and gave him the photo and model number of the quick attach from ATI. He called ATI while I was there and was told by Jansen or Jensen that ATI does not make a model to fit the KL130 loader. However he would consider building one if he was sent the specs. on the loader.

I dont get it. A post from Sodamo in August indicated that ATI was already working on this.

Sorry I dont know how to post the link.

Where did you get this info Don and who can verify if it is true?

Thanks

Thank you for your continued interest in the Tach-All QA.
