Loader Quick Attachment Interchangeability

[BoomerJoe]

Hi everybody. I am a soon to be Kioti owner and have a question for the group. I am searching the internet for a grapple and have called a couple of dealers who say they are not sure if their attachment will work on a DK45SE and the KL401. Does the 1 lever quick attach/detach system make the Kioti different than any other tractor's skid steer attachment connectors? If their brand will fit a Deere, Bobcat, or Kubota, will it fit the Kioti? Thanks for the help!

hope this will help you.i own a 45hp kioti i used a set of forks off a skid steer for a job on my farm .every thing worked great.i was told that any of the attachments for a skid steer will work on my kioti the forks fit like a glove didnt have to change anything.

My understand is that all skid steer attachmnets will work.

I hope to modify a loader plate this winter so I can use 3 PH stuff (forks, pallet, etc) on my loader

universal skid steer attachments will fit. JD has a proprietary quick attach, that won't fit. So just make sure the grapple wasn't made for a JD system and you should be all set.

I would double check with the dealer to verify ... my neighbor has the one lever QA and it is not SSQA ... his the pins are horizontal and does not work with the Skid Steer applications ... I don't have a Kioti... But I thought skid steer has 2 levers and the pins are vertical.

Not sure just sharing this info!!

Skidsteer QA stuff will match up, but you may have a little slopiness with them. My pallet forks are QA and fit on my Kioti, but there is a little extra room there. Don't know why Kioti didn't make their stuff exactly to fit the QA stuff.

Great. Thanks everyone. I'll stay clear of the QA designed for the Deeres.

I also need some help on a buying decision so if you have a minute please go to the "kioti buying" forum. Thanks again!

I welded a QA plate to a 3pt quick hitch ( the harbor freight one I think) I use it to mount my boom pole to my loader- works great. Someday, I may try hooking the rake to it.

I have a DK40se with KL401, the QA works with any standard skidsteer (Bobcat) style attachment. That said, the width of the Kioti adapter is narrower than the typical SS implement so there is about three inches of slop on either side. It mounts securely however with lateral pressure on the grapple it can slide to one side. No biggie and it could easily be fixed by putting in a spacer if it bothers you. Photo shows gap on outside of the Kioti adapter shoe through the grapple. No effect on function. Never popped off.

Bottom line: Kioti QA works with any universal skidsteer attachment

Does this mean Kioti's buckets don't fit other SSQAs?
