Is there a standard for quick attach? Wondering if a bucket from an IHI CL35 would also fit on a Cat 279.
Can't say all are the same but we have an 1845C case, JCB 185 and a BobCat 743, all older machines and buckets and forks we have will fit any of them and they were purchased years apart from different sources. Hope that helps some.
Sorry ! …… can't agree with that ……. I know for a FACT that the 1845c attachments are NOT interchangeable with a 743/753/763 (all the same) ….. the Paddles on the Case 1845 are Narrower in width and the locking drop down pins are smaller in diameter having a really loose fit to the quik attach plate and narrower pin spacing requiring a wide spaced slot on the bottom (narrower much the same as vintage skidsteers, not modern day)
I Tag-Team Jobs with a buddy that has an 1845c …… My Bcat attachments will GO ON … BUT will NOT be tight, Very Loose fitting almost to a point to fall off with a good shock-load and it was 50/50 that if the drop pins would go thru and then it was way too sloppy …. I cannot even pick-up his stuff because it's too narrow
The Same Pal has just purchased a 2013 Case SR-175 …. NOW all the attachments he mod'd to fit the 1845 will NOT Fit the SR175 ….He has to either change the Quik-attach Plate on the 1845 to a New style OR Have 2 Sets of Attachments ! ….. PITFA !!!
Cheers !
Are all current quick attachments the same? I'd like to build a quick attach bracket to the front of my 580sk so I could run anything hydraulic.
I'm thinking stuff like augers and brush cutters not really buckets.That probably wouldn't work out too well. I know guys with farm tractors that have twisted skid steer q/c's into pretzels. The buckets are a lot wider and heavier and you have a lot more weight behind it
