Hydraulic quick attach

[mrc]

Put a hydraulic quick attach on my Kubota MX5100. I switch back and forth between forks and bucket all the time when doing firewood. Now I don’t have to get on and off all the time.

Is it a factory Kubota added on , Aftermarket or a homemade set up? I know after I had my first skid loader with the hydraulic quick tach I would never be with out it. I hate getting out of the skid loader cab to switch the hoses on my tree saw and grapple fork. Enjoy the new toy.

I saw a video where someone made their own. I already had hydraulic lines to the front for a snowplow so it was easy for me. I bought a 1” bore 8” stroke hydraulic cylinder. Took it to a welder and he cut the ball end off the cylinder and added a 12” piece of 1” rod and welded it on to lengthen the cylinder. Welder charged $80. Cylinder cost $120 shipped. Fittings and two 36” x1/4 hydraulic hoses cost under $60 shipped. I‘ve been hopping on and of the tractor for a long time so it makes me happy.
