melroe hook up

I see attachments listed in various publications as having "Melroe hook ups" what exactly does that mean? I own a Deere CT322, and of course am wondering if that is universal and will work with my Deere. Thank you in advance.

Melroe is the company that builds bobcat ( they where bought out by clark, then IR and now doosan, but the melroe name is coming back) Bobcat invented the the modern skidsteer quick tach. Over time everybody switch to it. I have never heard the term melroe hook up, but I asume it is just a way of saying bobcat style. And yes, that would fit a deere.

Thanks Bobcatdan, when I googled the Melroe hook up, it sent me to Wiki for Bobcat and was kind of thinking that the Melroe hookup was a standard quick tach. But didn't want to a$$-u-me!

The Melroe/Bobcat style quick attachment has become the standard but in the past other manufacturers had different styles. The standard is SAE J2513 so to be sure it will fit check if your machine and the attachment meet this standard.
I've uploaded the standard here http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8k5jfborkb219rm
