Description: The SAE J2513 known also as the bobcat skidsteer quick attach has become a common standard for other tractor and implement manufacturers. This post provides standards and approaches to compliment commercial adapters already available.Add new comment Documentation Image Gallery: Documentation Wiki: Problem addressed/functional need Universal quick attach plates are available commercially, however, there are some instances where custom fabrication of tractorside or implemet side adapters may make sense. This tool provides dimensions and some examples. Standard can be found here http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:Universal-attachment-mount-specif....pdf Functional Description/approach The standard dimensions of the quick attach provide a method for universal connections of many loader mounted implements, and also provides the template to build non-commercially available adapters such as skidsteer to three point hitch, skidsteer to triangle adapter, skidsteer to excavator quick attaches.
