May be trading my bobcat for a JD 310c. Is there a way to attach a bobcat bucket to the JD ? The JD has a 4 n 1 bucket on it. Was wondering if I could use my grapple bucket? Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure you can get a quick- thatch plate for the 310. Sounds like you already are plumbed for auxiliary hydraulics so just add quick release hydraulic fittings and you're good to go with any attachment!

I've got a 310C. It uses the single cylinder in the center for the tilt/dump function. Don't know how you'd hook that up to a quick attach. Probably take some modifying.

You would first remove the bucket, install a plate type quick tach(think JRB or Balderson) then modify your bucket to accept the quick tach.
That said, I bet the 310C is a little large and powerfull for most skid steer type attachments
