Universal mini attach system for light duty FEL

[AJBelayer]

I have a 1970s large lawn tractor (Or maybe its a compact tractor, don't really know what it is, maybe a Sears Suburban 18) a that has hydraulic FEL someone built on it before I bought it, after some research it seems the tractor is rated for ~800lbs on the front axle, the loader I suspect will out lift that by a lot as its massively overbuilt. The distance between the arms is about 25 inches.

The bucket I have is really small, maybe 1/8 cu yard or smaller with some pretty aggressive teeth. I am hoping to get a smooth edge bucket for general dirt and snow moving, something for log/branch/brush moving (not cutting) with grapple, pallet forks, maybe something else.

The question is what (mini) universal attach system should I get? I know there is skid steer universal attach but at 44" minimum that is larger then what I want. I see a Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT, maybe a couple others I have read about that are more appropriately sized for my small FEL but which one?

I have access to welder and skills as needed.

Thanks in advance for any help and recommendations.

I would go with the Toro,Dingo,Ditch Witch style adaptor plate if you can find one. I just sold a set of mini forks for $200..so there are lots of attachments you can use

I found the ETERRA MINI UNIVERSAL ADAPTER MQT-100 on Skidsteer.com site but it say may have some compatibility issues with Toro attachments, are Toro attachments a big part of the market share or should I not be worried about it?

Also is $500-ish a good or bad price in everyone's opinion for such an adapter?

Thanks for the input!
