The adapter is a bit cheaper and would allow me to use the existing tooth bucket that uses the old style JD/NH QA, but i am thinking this option would reduce lift capacity (machine capacity - weight of adapter = lowered lifting capacity) and would slightly change the breakout / curl / lift capacity of my machine because its moving the picked up load forward the distance of the adapter from the original plate. any thoughts on which is a better option assuming money is not the limiting factor? thanks for the links and info, you guys (and gals) are great!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Ken, i would be interested in your option, but would need to research freight costs. what make is your plate? could you email me any pictures? is it new or used? and finally, would i just need to fabricate my cylinder and pin attachment points to use this on my machine?</blockquote>
