“My attachments would fall off. Had trouble back dragging buckets. The pins are poor design, they would not exteyfar enough to lock attachments in. I have spent money on fixing the issues. I feel I should have did more checking on this quick attach plate. I would not purchase again. I gave two stars only because it was sturdy. Thanks”

“So far it's been great to be able to use my tractor even more with the front loader attachments.”

“Overall I think this works great. A little disappointed more thought wasn't given to the design of the handles and keeping them open as many other people have also stated. It's definitely a 2 man job or requires bungees which should not be the case on a brand new piece of steel.”

“I have numerous attachments for my Bobcat T630 and I also have a Cat IT14. I had made a set of adapters that were too light duty and didnâ€™t hold up. I finally got time to weld the Universal Adapter to my quick attachment hooks on my small cat loader. Iâ€™m working on simple fix to keep the locking pins up while I operate the machine to pick up a different attachment using two short bungee cords. I have used it successfully so far only with my 84â€ rock grapple. I think itâ€™s going to work just fine. Skip Jensen Cordova Alaska”

“Locking pins don't seem to lock attachment in as firmly as expected; ended up drilling thru both plates and bolting together in 4 places to make secure. Also locking levers constantly fall so you need 2 people to attach or detatch unless you make a spacer out of pvc pipe to hold the levers open as I did.”

“Plate is of average quality, not worth the $550.00 price. The locking handles bend easily and will need to be reinforced and are uncomfortable. Some of the welds needed to be ground down for the plate to be used on some attachments. We had to put wavy washers on the handle attachments as they just kept falling partially into the lock position. I would look for a different product if we need another plate.”

“The service I got ordering and tracking my order was 10 star! I just got the plate back from having it welded onto my skidster. It looks and fits great. I'm not a pro at changing out attachments but so far the only thing I say I might have a problem with is the pin levers. They tend to fall down before the attachment is in place so block it from lining up. I've seen this in an earlier review so will do what they did and use straps to hold it in place.”
