Quick attach, yes.I was amazed at how easy it is to change the loader attachment on the Kioti. Is yours like a skid steer style?

View attachment 241011 View attachment 241012 Finally have it all moved off the driveway 12 pickup loads. I was able to finish before it started snowing. The labs have been busy running back and forth the last couple of days.
Quick couplers on the hydraulic lines make hooking/unhooking a snap. FWIW, when dealing with hydraulic lines I generally shut the tractor off and move all the levers to and fro to relieve any pressure before attempting to unhook.Can you quickly change this to a bucket or pallet forks? My dealer said they'd do a third function for me and a root rake grapple sounds really nice. I have no idea what it's like to remove an attachment with hydraulic lines. My dealer said it's easy for the backhoe as one of their customers takes it off frequently and takes like ten minutes. I have doubts.
Thanks for the tip. When I get the grapple installed I'll make sure they use quick connects for the third function. I'm getting a backhoe at some point, so I'll have them do the same with it.Quick couplers on the hydraulic lines make hooking/unhooking a snap.

It's usually SOP but won't hurt to be sure....Thanks for the tip. When I get the grapple installed I'll make sure they use quick connects for the third function. I'm getting a backhoe at some point, so I'll have them do the same with it.
You'll get on to it....Yeah, so all of the hydraulic lines on my tractor are quick connect. We had a laugh at the dealer today, I had no idea. I'm very new to hydraulics. Most of my experience with pressurized tubes is pneumatic tools.
removing the grapple to install the buckets takes no time, as jaoneill stated turning off the tractor and releasing the pressure in the lines takes more time than changing the bucket for the grapple or vise versa. Very simple and little time.
I was hoping to shave more off the driveway today but it depends on the winds.I did the same today. I'm hoping for more nice weather tomorrow before the storm hits us
Stay safe out there heavy hammer. The outages have started in western and central New York, our stronger winds come in later.I was called Friday morning for storm work on Sunday. It is starting to get windy here we will see what the weather brings. It was a nice day here sunny and warm.
Our biggest gust was around 7:30 this morning but other then that it there was nothing for wind. We're still getting rain so I'm thinking about sanding the driveway after I start a fire.I was called Friday morning for storm work on Sunday.

Wow, all of our snow is melting. We started with snow Sunday night that became rain and wind. That seems to have started spring.We received 4 to 5 inches of snow overnight so it was a day of plowing, some sanding and then moving some snow.

That all starts for us tomorrow with the high of 53 with a temp of 44 with just over a quarter inch of rain at night, Friday we have a high of 56 with some rain but dropping down to 32 at night.Wow, all of our snow is melting.

I moved snow for about three hours today which should keep us high and dry once the melt starts. Tomorrow will be a day we put in two loads of wood and then I can grease the tractor and the sander so I can be ready for what ice we have on the driveway.
With the tractor being in the garage this winter, I never had to tighten any clamp on the 4540. I think the lowest temp in the garage this winter was 18 degrees.I've been replacing mine as I get a chance to, the ones that come on the tractors,(mine at least) are utter garbage.
