How Hard to Convert?

[downsizingnow48]

I made a SSQA from scratch for my B21. Because there were no commercial options. In looking for commercial options, there are 4 main things to consider. First is loader pin size, the QA has to match what you have. Second is distance between the two loader pins. QA has to match or be very close. If not, curl and dump will be different and maybe unworkable. Third is width. Needs to be close. You can use washers or spacers to make up the difference. The fourth is rollback angle. You need a QA that will allow required rollback for bucket, or forks, as well as required dump angle.

Converting is not difficult. Titan is the least expensive but the existing brackets just be cut free of an existing bucket.

Hayspear, Washburn offers a conversion that includes adjustable brackets, simplified conversion. See screenshot.


Tomahawk offers the least expensive adapters for the implements (adapter plates)

if you don't do a ton of swaps this is what I did plus my 1620 doesn't have a ton of lift capacity

My 1620 Has respectable lift capacity, has a koyker loader, switch between bucket and forks regularly. Guessing capacity at lift pins is about 1000 lbs.
