[QUOTE="SlowDave, post: 120626, member: 21901"] Thank you for your responses. What I am finding is that there are more attachment options at better prices for the size I am looking for for Dingos than the S70. However the if the S70 mounts will also accept the full size universal mounts that might be worth doing. That is one of my questions. I have spent a great deal of time looking on line for the answers but I am simply not finding them. The shop and owners manual for my machine give conflicting information on the attachment system. The shop manual shows a straight lever with an extra linkage piece but the photo in the owners manual shows a lever with a triangle at the pivot end and no extra linkage piece. The single lever system on the machine now would be extremely easy in regards to adapting attachements to it without purchasing expensive adaptor plates. On the other hand the current system needs some work. It was quite a chore getting the bucket off yesterday and I can see that someone has been working on it before. It might be that the bucket has never been off the machine before. I am going to talk to my electrical engineer brother about replacing the whole lever system with one 12v actuator to spread the lower side pins for locking the attachments in place. The actuator would siply move the pins and the pins would take the load. This approach seems a lot simplier than going hydraulic for locking and unlocking an attachment. I went with a ride on skid steer as opposed to a dingo because Dingos and their clones are a lot more expensive than what I purchased. We have used various walk behind machines and I have found that we always have to resort to muscling the things around, this has been true for power wheel barrows, trenchers, stump grinders, etc.. That is what we are trying to get away from since both my helper (a former bull rider with all the scars to prove it), and me, a slow learner that keeps injuring himself doing stupid stuff. And besides, I am a big fan of sitting down on the job. [/QUOTE]
