[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 9618, member: 897"] I like that OX put the wear plates out in open and the plates appear to be rectangular stock. This would make it much easier to make your own. The Bobcat wear plates are semi-circular and tapered which makes them a dealer part for most people. I looked for a used Tilt-Tatch for a couple years. Came across 3 and all were badly worn. I bought a new one a couple years ago just after they upgraded them so you could run them on the larger loaders. Have not put a lot of hours on it yet. They are really handy for some jobs and will allow you easily grade in narrow areas. I leave mine attached to my LP bucket. As a side note, I tried to connect my Bobcat U-Digger bucket and Virnig Forks to my Tilt-Tatch and they would not connect. The strap on the top of the attachment mount was too wide and was hitting on the Tilt-Tatch. It kept it from fully seating in the attachment mount. I called Bobcat to let them know about the problem. I thought the new design had a design flaw. The engineers called me back and told me [I][B]the Tilt-Tach is not designed to be pulled[/B][/I]. Bobcat Attachments that create significant load when you pull them have a wider top strap on the attachment mount. This is to prevent them from being used on the Tilt-Tatch. I ended up triming the top strap on my forks. BRADCO also makes a Tilt-Tach and they offer a solenoid valve option you you can continue to run some hydraulic attachments in front of it. One big issue is how do you make it strong enough to handle the wear and stresses and not make it so heavy that you can hardly load anything in the bucket because you are already at max lift capacity?
