New excavator e37c w/ klac e quick attach options

[heat762]

Bought used NH e37c recently, came with 4 way blade, thumb, long stick and counterweight. It came with 18” bucket and has the klac model e quick attach system. I’m learning the klac system isn’t super common and new buckets are $2k. I can buy an adapter plate for 625 and weld it on most buckets which might be my best option. I’ve searched for used klac E buckets and while there are lots in Europe there aren’t many here. Anybody else have the klac system quick attach? And what route did you go for other buckets.
Thanks.

I think I would consider replacing that klac proprietary system with a manual pin grabber attachment. I think you could buy one of these for probably less than the cost of just one of the klac mounting plates. Would give you a lot more options when buying various buckets.
