Mini Excavator Skid Steer adapter

[Walter63]

Has anyone on this forum had experience with an adapter that allows the use of skid steer implements on a KX71-3 mini excavator or similar ?

I got one to do a specific outside barn repair using pallet forks and man basket. Used on M59 that has the KX excavator QD on the backhoe. Could not reach with the FEL. Also allowed me reach inside barn too. Yes it took two people. My wife at the controls. But much safer and quicker than building scaffolding.

Future plans using an auger and Danuser Intimdator.

Walter63,

Have a look at USA Attachments. That is where I purchased my M59 to KX series quick attach coupler, giving me access to the KX tool line ( new and used) which is far more extensive and less expensive than the M59/M62 specific quick coupler and bucket only choices. I have found them to be good people to work with.

I've purchased a number of buckets with and without teeth. Also a root ripper which is not available from Kubota as either pin or quick attach.

It should be fairly easy to weld a set of KX coupler ears to a SSQA attachment plate and off you go to the races.

Kudos to Smokeydog for his mention of KX to SSQA adapter in another thread. Here is what he provided info on.
