[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 11448, member: 307"] Perry You can get either hook or ball mounts for the loader, but the bradco hoe is not made to fit either. The newer Bobcat hook system is made very heavy duty, because it holds the hoe and you lift arms up 6” from bottom to get better ground clearance under the hoe. I'm not sure what type of stabilizer Bradco uses for the bucket dump cylinder, but you need something. The quickest and easiest to date I have seen was a quick release top link from a farm tractor 3pt hitch. JD makes them and NH too, Likely under $150. They are adjustable for lenght. You would weld 2 ears on the loader (on the loader frame where you step, either side of the bucket cylinder) with a pin through them and a ball around the pins. Then the 3pt top link just snaps overtop. I wish I had taken pics of the 911 pro JD hoe I had, it was on a Cat loader and used this setup. It looked to be holding up well. Ken [/QUOTE]
