[QUOTE="Skid Steer Solutions, post: 23525, member: 785"] Please do not give up hope on this style of attachment. Skid Steer Solutions has been making these for 10 years now and they have been very successful. Your point about cheap is where you need look. We realized within the first couple of years that a relief valve was needed because people would not only dig but try to pull and tear using the pulling power of their loaders. They first broke our buckets, so we toughened them up. Then they broke our pins, so we made them bigger and out of 4140 material. Then the really bad stuff started. They broke the mounting pins on their quick attach's and the tilt cylinders on their booms. We knew that we could never stop people from trying to always get more pull out of these backhoes so we embedded the relief into the main circuit. Since we did this there have not been any further issues. You can pull as hard as you like but when you reach a certain threshold, the bucket will release. Now along comes the competitors. Always a buck cheaper and looks kind of similar so off they go. As soon as customers start having these costly issues, they disappear and start up again a few moths later with a similar looking device and a new eBay store. I have watched this cycle gone on for years. It comes down to this. If you buy a cheap item that seems too good to be true off of eBay, it probably is. The best thing to do is to get ahold of them and ask for a past customer list. If there is any hesitation, run. We are proud of our products and will happily run a report for people of the past few hundred buyers of a certain product. The companies you buy a product from should be proud of their sales not afraid of them. If an of you have any of the knock off models that are prevailent on eBay and need help, drop us a line through the site and we can supply you with our old system of pressure relief valves as we now manufacture our cylinders with the relief built in.
