He Uses Skid Steer Tools On Dozers

He Uses Skid Steer Tools On Dozers TRACTORS Accessories Steve Zook wanted to get more use out of his crawler tractor so he built skid loader-style couplers for the dozer arms so he can use any skid steer attachment “The quick-tach couplers can be mounted on wheeled tractor loader arms as well ” says Zook Glendale Repair LLC “Our cost is about half that of OEM quick couplers ” The idea for using quick attach units with his crawler tractor came when Zook stopped by a local salvage yard A number of brand new quick-tach units had been scrapped Zook brought a few home and fabricated mounts for his crawler loader arms Several neighbors asked him to supply mounts for them as well “When the salvage yard ran out of junked units a neighbor with a machine shop started making them for us ” says Zook “We continue to make the mounts for them ” Zook uses his with a scoop bucket bale spears and pallet forks One neighbor uses his with a bale mover Although most of Zook’s sales have been in the local area he says he can ship the 200-lb units anywhere The modified quick-tach units run about $600 plus shipping “All we need to make the brackets for a crawler tractor is the size of the pins on the loader arms how far apart the top and bottom pins are and the widest points of the loader frame with inside measurements ” says Zook “People can call or just send an order with those dimensions ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Glendale Repair LLC 241A Williams Run Rd Christiana Penn 17509 ph 610 593-2942
