Last Spring I bought a Bradco Land sculptor like this: https://www.everythingattachments.com/Bradco-78-Land-Sculptor-Skid-Steer-Quick-Attach-p/br-land-sculptor-106400.htm To use on my ~30 year old 863. I struggled to make it mate up to the QT, I had to grind about 3/16" off the bottom surface of the attachment plate, as the top lip and bottom section where the wedge go through were too close together. Even then mounting was a huge chore and required a cheater bar, big dead blow hammer and a particular subset of my vocabulary <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I just to delivery of a almost new T870 with power QT. Same problem only worse as hammers and bars are no help. This time I had to grind off another 3/16" and die grind the wedge slots ~3/16" to the rear. Now I can get the QT to close. I have 3 buckets, a fork frame, a trencher, a Paladin auger, and a swing boom mower. All of these fit both tractors with out any problem. Careful measurements taken by placing a 1" round under the top lip and measuring down to the slot where the wedges engage revealed the Bradco Land sculptor was a bit over 3/8" shorter than all the other attachment QT plates I have access to. Last summer when I contacted Everything Attachments and Paladin, both refused to even consider their eq was out of spec. Really unpleasant and time consuming. Promised phone calls not returned, blame the customer etc. Curious about others experiences. Makes me very wary about Paladin / Bradco. Tobin</p></blockquote><p></p>
