I bought this skid steer new, its got almost 5k hours on it, love the machine and now its time to put a new quick attach on it, anyone make an aftermarket one, or do I have to buy OEM.

Not sure if you did the project or not, but I'd put a second valve on or near the winch, that way you can run it from the ground and not have to climb into the seat to run it, would save a lot of climbing on and off to hook and unhook the cable, just a suggestion.
