face plate attachments bobcat Mini tract to full size

[firecatf7333]

I own a bobcat mt 55, which is a small walk behind bobcat. I have forks for this, but the forks won't fit on my other skid steer( case 1845c) The face plate is too small( narrow) on the forks and when i try to hookup with the case, the face plate on the case is too wide for the forks.

can i make something or weld something or would i be better off just buying a seperate set of forks for my case?

safest thing to do is buy the proper set of forks for your case.

We made a nice [make do] adapter that works well when needed. It is hard to see over when hooking up, but saved $500 that a new set of forks would cost.

Roping horns....could you explain how you made it and post up some pics?

Get new forks, mini attachments don't have full size strength.

We have an MT55 as well as LOTS of dingo attachments, we made a "bruiser" plate that can put all the smaller attachments on full size equipment, might be something to look into. If you need some pictures let me know.
