Sorry was referring to the royking youtube clip. it shows the kubota hydraulic ssqa in action.
Those pins are just indicators for the operator to see when the SSQA is locked or unlocked.

Those indicators are actually a pretty good idea. I've been known to forget to hit the latch button. Then the grapple falls off.
I made this quick attach for the B21 a few years ago. Hydraulic cylinders directly actuate the pins. It works fine but I wish I had thought of the indicators. Would have been easy to incorporate at the time but not easy at all to retrofit.
Have to look at the top of the page for the right section, my previous links don't quite get you there.Kubota LA85 Parts Diagrams is the Messicks parts diagram for the alien Kubota setup. Probably need to login to see the diagram. $800ish for just the OEM cylinder.
Kubota LA85 Parts Diagrams has some of the extra guards & stuff protect things.
There are a couple other pages with switches & valves to run things.
Personally I'm going with the OEM 3rd function already on there & a manual diverter out by the bucket. Leave the diverter on the QH so you can hitch & unhitch. If you need to use hydraulics (angled plow, grapple, etc.) You can move the diverter after you latch the QH when you go up there to plug in hoses. Unplug hoses then revert the diverter from 3rd function back to QH. I don't think it will result in any extra excursions from the cab to hitch or unhitch compared to a dedicated set of plumbing & valves.
Yup, it was an option when I bought my ALO loader, but I don't really need it, so I passed.
