We just made the switch from a bobcat E45 to a kubota U55. I am wondering if anyone has ever fabricated or purchased an adaptor to hook a kubota quick coupler up to bobcat Xchange attachment. we have a hammer, auger, and grading bucket that are all xchange mounts. Don't really want to replace all of these items!!

Buy a male Xchange and weld/attach Kubota ears to it?

You could buy blank ears that fit the U55 coupler and remove the XChange ears from you bobcat attachments and weld the kubota ears on. You could also trace the profile of the U55 ears on some cardboard and have a fabrication shop cut you some, it may be cheaper than buying them from kubota.

The Kubota mounts are made for them by Werk-Brau, so you can find a Werk-Brau & Kubota dealer who can buy them direct from Werk-Brau. There is at least one such dealer (Abele Equipment) in Albany, NY, that does exactly that for buckets in their rental fleet.
