Hi guys - I did a quick search but I get a ton of hits with the words I use...

Where is the best deal (cheapest) for buy a full-width skidsteer adapter plate? I need to convert my stone bucket.

Thanks!

Don't know if these are the absolute cheapest but they are very well made.

Dunno how "finished" you want them...but I used these for my blade build..
Skid Steer Quick Attach Weld On Plates

For a fabricator type like me these were the best buy & quality...very well built. If I ever need more SS plates, I will buy those again.

Actually, these are the ones I currently use and they have been fine up until I tried to pull a stump out with my stone bucket; I curled those plates like they were made out of plastic!

Here is the one that I used to make my SSx#PH adapter.
KFI ATTACHMENT MOUNT PLATE SKIDSTEER
The Company is KFI products and they sell these plates on Ebay but not off of their web site. I used a Subsoiler on the FEL and it held up good. They also sell the skeleton plate if you need it open. I went with the full plate for strength.

Really?
Did you completely weld them up? When I got mine I noticed they were only formed....none of the welding at the bottom or anything was done (obviously the top rail is customer supplied)...all welded up and gusseted on my blade I have a hard time picturing where it could bend....

Have you considered building one? They are simple!

I live in Alaska and the freight would double or triple the cost, so I don't even consider buying one, however where you live shipping cost may not a big deal. I have built 3 they all work great.

Here is a pic "fabing" one up.

I don't really have the time or equipment to build one, but I can see that it could be an option...thanks!
