New to tractors and heard a rumor about Kubota

So, does the ssqa actually weigh 132# or what?

:laughing: Yes, the SSQA weighs 132 lbs/pounds/#.

Ok, what's the JD QA weigh?

Latest mag from Bobcat dealer lists 80+ products for the ssqa. That is what is available now-from Bobcat.

The JD QA is incorporated as part of the FEL (a 300CX in my case).

Not a good answer. If it were to come off to be replaced by the universal SSQA, there would not be 132# added. The amount added would be 132#- whatever the Deere coupler weighs.

According to JDparts.com holders(parts keys 7 & 10) weigh 13.47#s each & timing pin(parts key 8) weighs 9.46#s on a JD 300CX.

I have a few dozen apple trees on M111, I like that rootstock. Nowhere near the 385 as you have. They can grow to near seedling size as I am sure you know. Very hardy.

I'm still glad I went with m111 since they will not be permanently irrigated. Nearer to the house I plan to have some trellised trees but I am going to experiment with lower watering techniques. And I am definitely going to have a cistern to collect rain water off the roof of house and barn.

Sorry about that. I didn't understand the the question... correctly I guess. Hence the "confused" icon. As Tx Jim has provided (thank you) a breakdown of my FEL, a SSQA would have to be added to, not replace, the existing attachment configuration.

Further to my confusion is my lack of knowledge of other tractor FEL attachment configurations and/or methods. I've only ever owned/operated my JD 4105 and I only have the two FEL implements; which are simple to swap around... which is a good thing for me as I'm a very simple man.

So ~36# for the proprietary adapter vs 132# for the the SSQA for a difference of ~96# plus perhaps a little bit of lift lost (depending on how much the attachment is pushed forward from the pins.

It does replace the items Jim has listed.

It does replace the items Jim has listed.

And therein lies the problem/confusion... The one that I've seen on the interwebs attaches to the existing 'proprietary' system. Whereas the ones that you're familiar with replaces the existing configuration. Plus there would probably be a set available that does replace the existing 'proprietary' system.
