The operator had a maximum load and he bounced it. Operator error. I'm not surprised something failed.
Me neither. I'd imagine the key is to make sure everything's properly seated & latched.I have always gotten nervous when dumping an implement that's on the ssqa. Seems like it is almost designed to fall out, but it's never happened to me.
Yeah, no kidding, I'll stink to my Yanmar pin on. I can pin on a new implement in under a minute.Probably not beyond repairing the hydraulic lines that broke. I've never felt comfortable with that SS attach. I can see how that can easily happen. You would never see the global attach do that.
Plus the had the load hanging from the backing plate. I whole system would have been more forgiving of operator error if the mounting plate had been vertical instead of tipped forward.The operator had a maximum load and he bounced it. Operator error. I'm not surprised something failed.
I feel the same way about my pallet forks, of all things. I have JDQA, and it's normally super-secure, nearly zero chance of ever failing. But the way it was implemented by some probably-Chinese manufacturer on my pallet fork frame appears a little less secure than my OEM Deere/Frontier implements.I have always gotten nervous when dumping an implement that's on the ssqa.

I always lift and look after locking to make sure the pins are through the plate.I saw no operator error.
Something on the QA was wrong, QA adjustment or the attachment wasn't fitting properly.
I've run skid loader for decades. Attachments don't just come off like that unless something is fitting/latching to loose, bent or wrong
I too have operated SS for decades and own one now. If the failure was caused by faulty attachment, pins not fully seated or overload and bounce as I suggested then it's operator error.I saw no operator error.

Bounce or no bounce that attachment shouldn't have come off unless it wasn't latched down right or fitting to loose.I too have operated SS for decades and own one now.

I'm just saying, if you break the handle on a hammer it's not the hammers fault. If you bend a bucket or drop an attachment it's operator error because the operator should know and work within the limits of his equipment. There was a bounce and that is when the attachment came off. The bounce and the load and attachment angle, as mentioned by another member, were all contributing factors the operator put into play.
