Hydraulic-Controlled Coupler For Skid Steer Loaders

Hydraulic-Controlled Coupler For Skid Steer Loaders TRACTORS Skid Steer Loaders 25-4-37 You can mount this new hydraulic-controlled coupler on any skid steer loader equipped with a universal quick tach mounting bracket, allowing you to couple or uncouple any attachment without getting out of your seat. The "Quick Change 2000" is a totally enclosed unit that measures 45 1/2 in. long and 18 1/2 in. high. It's only 2 3/4 in. deep. A pair of spring-loaded pins are operated by hydraulic cylinders. The pins are engaged or disengaged by flipping an electronic solenoid switch in the cab. Because the pins are spring-loaded, they will remain in place even if the skid loader's hydraulic system fails. As a safety precaution, a pair of red metal tabs pop up to warn when the pins are disengaged. "Most major manufacturers of skid loaders started offering universal mounting brackets about ten years ago," says Mike Tebben, Tebben Enterprises, Clara City, Minn. "The problem with conventional universal mounting brackets is that to couple or uncouple an attachment, you still have to get out of the cab and manually latch or unlatch the pins. Our attachment makes the job much easier and safer. "The skid loader's auxiliary hydraulics can still be used for operating attachments." Sells for $1,195 plus S&H.
