I am getting OEM SSQA tool holder for my 2016 CG 1710.

[Xfaxman]

My old bucket was a factory pin on type.
I need to cut off old bucket pin on brackets and weld on my SSQA adapter plate.

How well does it fit the new OEM SSQA tool holder?

^ I wonder the same thing but I have not had a chance to check it yet.
The tool holder just came off the truck a couple hours ago today.

I will be watching in anticipation...

The tool holder is a very nicely made piece.
One good/bad thing about working from home. You can take a break and check on something.
I went out and checked on the fit. I tried it with the adapter plate and the pallet fork plate.
The seem to fit nicely.

Here is the bucket adapter.


Here is the pallet plate.

Good deal :thumbsup:.

Thanks, I was concerned after reading the post you put a links to.
Maybe they changed the MFG after the issues they had.

I have never had SSQA before but in pictures I have seen it looked like my pins were sticking out the right amount.

I bought the factory OEM SSQA tool holder for my GC 1710. From Doug Vahrenberg @Vahrenberg Implements.
He was able to drop ship this to me. This was very convenient.
They are great to deal with and go the extra mile.

I can’t wait until it warms up so I can install this and get my bucket plate welded up.
I will probably sell my bucket forks. Since they work on any tractor there might be a local market for selling them.

I have those Titan forks and love them. I can make any type of adapter and add to the brackets where the forks go. Here is what I use to move trailers around with.

Nice thanks for sharing pictures. I want to make something similar for moving trailers around but not as heavy duty as yours.
I want to make an adapter to put my boom pole on it I think that would be handy.

I was thinking about maybe making something like this.
AGRI supply sells 43" bale spears for 32.99 each. Maybe make a 4-5 spear one?




My new pallet SSQA forks total weight 229 pounds. If I compare them to what I was using.
I think the stock bucket is 155 pounds 4,000-pound bucket forks are 113 pounds with stabilizer bar.
The total weight bucket and bucket forks. 268 pounds but it pushes the load you are lifting out some distance from the pins. (bucket depth)

I need to weight the SSQA tool carrier but it is under 100 pounds.
My new setup will be 60 pounds heavier than the bucket plus the bucket forks but the load is moved much closer to the pins of the FEL.
This is a fair trade off.

The SSQA tool holder is installed. I tried out the pallet forks. I dropped them off and connected them back up a few times.
Very quick and simple design. This was my first time using a quick attach. It left a good impression so far.





One step done one more to go
I will cut off the bucket brackets and weld on the new adapter plate this weekend.

My tractor is so dirty when it warms up I need to wash it.

Looks like a good and functional option. Nice find!

 

[Gofast]

I have my bucket converted. I asked what tool was the best to cut off your bolt on bucket brackets.
The plasma cutter is the way to go. That plasma cutter worked great.
I looked up everything attachments advice on where to put the adapter plate.





I welded up some bucket hooks on the top of my bucket.
I needed to use pallet forks this morning. It was so convenient to just switch from my bucket to the pallet forks.

Congratulations :thumbsup:

I got around to repurposing the Titan SSQA plate.
I made debris forks and a hitch all steel from scrap yard.
Total cost was about $26 to make both of these.

:thumbsup: Very clever. They will be handy.
