Do all the AG tractor manufactures and loader manufactures each still have their "own" system or is there now an industry standard so you can hook up what ever attachment to your loaders quick attach system with out fooling around welding on new plates/brakets?   Is one system more common then others or are you stuck switching everything over one style no matter what brand of tractors/loaders you have on the farm.  Is there one system thats more popular and easier to adapt?

Nieghbor was saying with Skidsteers he can use his Bobcat stuff on his Cat skid steer too.

Deere has a "Deere" attachment, and now make a "Global" attachment. Thinking Global is a industry standard that they are all going to? Just guessing on my part. WildBuckwheat

Skidsteers use a Quick-Tack system. Its the same between all the skid steer makers. Its only good to about pounds.

Payloaders
There is an ISO Global and an SAE global spec. Pretty sure each spec has several "cat"s like a 3pt hitch.

Tractors
Some smaller tractors use the SkidSteer Quick-Tach system, remember its only good to about pounds.
Deere has their own system.
Newer tractors loaders are using the ISO Global system. lilmule

This is the Global payloader style the new tractors are using: Also known as Euro, Quicke, Global, Alo hookup

You paint those hooks orange and its super easy to hookup. There's handle that moves sliding pins to lock it in. On some loaders that handle is spring loaded, you latch it released, unhook the bucket, hook on the next bucket, roll all the way back and that releases the latch and the springs take over and lock it into place. The loader part of this hookup is way stronger due to design than the John Deere or Westendorf or similar systems. You won't bend this hookup to the point you need hammers and blocks to hook the bucket up like the John Deeres eventually end up like.

we have a skidsteer bracket on our H260 loader, it works with all of the plates on four different impliments, but we have a, 18 year old bobcat that doesn't fit on a new bucket Larry in AB

Your link didn't work. So just so I get this straight as there is so many versions.  I want to convert my old loaders and attachments over to one common quick attach system. 


Are these  the ones that are common for MFD (around 10,000lb tractor wieght) utility tractors like say in the 80-100 hp range? 

This is the bucket brackets





And this would be the loader part

That is the common hookup for tractors. I don't know about 80-100, but definitely 160hp+ djmranch

I have the global system on my JD and like it. I also have a hydraulic detach so I can change buckets without getting out of the tractor. It is a good system and stronger than the skidsteer attachment. It is getting more common all the time it seems. I believe there is a stronger version for higher horsepower tractors, but the regular global system covers most utility size uses. It is fairly easy to change buckets when you can see what you are doing. illinois-kris

Larry the common system for the 80-100hp range tractor around here (south central Illinois) is the skid loader setup. I have a great bend loader on a 110hp CIH and it is really nice to have one set of attachments that can swap back and forth with the bobcat. slowzuki

Everything new here is alo/euro or skidsteer unless you spec to get some oddball setup. Alo/euro is pretty much standard in eastern Canada for 50 hp+ in the last 15 years, Kubota, JD, Agco, Agro, most CNH etc. Under 50 and some CNH seems to be skidsteer, JD still put their setup on some. Once you've used them the Alo/euro that is self latching and saves a trip up and down is by far preferable.

I have both an ALO and a skidsteer style and I dislike dragging the bucket all over trying to get it latched on uneven ground. It was made for you to be sitting in the skidsteer looking at the attachment plate.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Loader attachment manufacturer.

I don't know about the other systems, but I am a huge fan of the Manitou attachment system. It's simple, very strong, easy to align, impossible to accidentally disconnect when pinned, and easy to build new attachment blanks. Plus you can just use the bare hooks when lifting certain things or for moving pintle hitched trailers around the yard.

Front-end loaders are indispensable attachments for compact tractors. Loaders make light work of small farm and gardening tasks including lifting and transporting material such as wood, rocks, soil and debris. While loaders may assist in completing daily tasks, they can be dangerous if basic safety precautions are not followed. As with any piece of equipment, operators should become familiar with front-end loader functions and maintenance, and avoid situations that may lead to injury.

General Know&#;ledge

Always read and follow the manufacturer provided operator&#;s manual before using a front-end loader. Although many units have similar features, there may be safety and operation features unique to each loader attachment. If the operator&#;s manual cannot be found, obtain a replacement by contacting the equipment manufacturer or a local dealer. A tractor and the attachments are unable to control their own operation and rely on the operator to be responsible and safety conscious.

Avoid Rollovers

A front-end loader, especially when loaded, can cause a weight distribution imbalance that can lead to instability and rollovers. Sharp turns, erratic operation and uneven terrain can also increase the risk of rollovers. Before completing a project with the loader attached, follow these procedures:

&#; Use a rollover protective structure (ROPS)-equipped tractor and a seat belt for protection in the event of a rollover.

&#; Adjust the width of the tractor wheels so they are as wide apart as is practical.

&#; Ballast the tractor loader combination as recommended by the manufacturer, or attach wheel weights to the rear axles or wheel rims. Weight may also be carried by a three-point hitch attachment.

&#; Keep the bucket as low as possible when turning or transporting materials, and watch carefully for obstructions and depressions.

&#; Drive smoothly, avoiding quick starts, stops and turns.

&#; Make sure the ground is level and free from holes or depressions before raising the loader to its full height.

&#; Carry loads as low as possible to the ground, and do not travel with the bucket in the raised position.

 

Raised position:
Unsafe for travel. Lowered position:
Safe for travel.

Loading an&#;d Traveling Safety

Front-end loaders change the physical and handling characteristics of a tractor, especially when loaded with material. Maneuverability and machine clearances are functionally different when compared to operating tractors without the loader attachment. Pay attention to these differences and adjust operations accordingly.

&#; Keep travel speed slow.

&#; Raise and lower the loader arms slowly and steadily.

&#; Raise the loader in an area free from overhead obstacles, such as power lines.

&#; Load the bucket evenly from side to side, and keep within the normal capacity of the tractor and loader.

&#; Use caution when handling loose or shifting loads.

&#; Allow for the extra length of the loader attachment when making turns.

&#; Keep the loader low while carrying loads and/or while driving on an incline.

&#; Drive with loaded buckets facing uphill rather than downhill, and stay off steep slopes to prevent bouncing and loss of control.

&#; Keep the tractor away from the outer edges of banks and slopes.

&#; Do not ever tow a tractor by attaching a tow chain or a cable to the loader.

Operator and B&#;ystander Safety

Front-end loaders are often used in situations where there are bystanders and helpers. The operator often leaves the seat of the tractor to remove material from the bucket. Follow these recommendations to avoid bystander and operator injury:

&#; Do not ever lift or carry people in the bucket.

&#; Do not move or swing a load should with people in the work area.

&#; Do not ever walk or work under a raised loader.

&#; Avoid putting the hands or fingers near pinch or crush points.

&#; Operate the controls only when seated on the tractor.

&#; Use the safety support locks on the cylinders, if equipped, in the event the loader must be raised for maintenance.
