Does anyone know if the 32LA loader came standard with a quick detach? If so, is it compatible with Bobcat implements?

No it didn't come standard, but was avaiable. If you have the quick attach bucket device, it IS compatible with the universal attachment system that Bobcat, New Holland, Case, John Deere, ect use with thier skid loaders.

It wasn't standard, but in my opinion it was the best option you could get for the money. The quick-attach option is one of those things that I would definitely put in my 'must have' list. Being able to use implements from any skid-steer, and being able to swap things out in less than two minues work is a great thing. I got it because I figured it was a good thing, but until I used it I didn't know how good it really was.

If you didn't get the QA with the 32LA you can still buy the kit to upgrade or save a bunch of money and buy an aftermarket QA. I think it is Horst that makes the one I am looking at for less the $700 compared to $2k for the NH version.

I do regret not buying the QA from the start but I didn't even think about it back then and even if I did I didn't need it until a couple years ago. If I ever buy another new loader tractor it will be a QA from the start.

I'd do some checking like with ATI which we use quite a bit and have had no issues with them.

Horst does build good products as well.

I'd perfer to exchange the bucket at a dealer that might be multi brand so you might have more choices of bucket styles. It might be a good time to make a change that might fit your uses better.

We've seen many failures or misfits of the plates welded on the back of the bucket so that it has no roll back or to much and no dump. After you miss judge one the bucket can't even be sold but for scrap. There have been more success stories then the failures so beware of that choice, do some studying first.

My 32 LC has it and I love it, can use my bucket, grapple that fits the bobcat or bale spike or forks and its so easy to change them. Mine came from factory w/ quick change already installed. It fit all of my bobcat attachments with no modifications.

My Kubota B3030 did not come with a quick attach, nor does Kubota make one for it, so when I ordered it I had them put on an ATI quick attach front end for the loader, and a Curtis low profile skid steer bucket. while I have no immediate need for the Quick attach, I have it on and available for anything in the future I may need or want. I have spoken to, and read so many posts, that owners want and use the quick attach front end for their FELs that it seemed like a must have.

I have the 32LA with Quick Attach and it works fine. I also have an ATI on my 2120 that I actually like better- works easier.

BTW, I went years without Quick Attach on my 2120 and couldn't believe how much I loved it when I added it. I now have 6 buckets that I share painlessly between tractors.
