[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 124075, member: 13825"] yes something I forgot to mention, is, where the item is made, and what are the odds of finding parts for it if needed, as this matters, there have been a lot of here today and gone company's that made attachments, so some time brand name has a perk when long term ownership is planned! also,. GOOD info on SPEC's , as in what metal is used and where, as knowing what metal is used can help tell if its going to last or not IMO also, spec's on how long attachment hoses are would be nice, over the yrs have found many to be to too short or way too long! back to welds, well as I said, if you KNOW what a GOOD weld looks like and what a bad one does as well, that about sum's it up as once you learn, and can look at things, you will be able to tell what was built better or not on that side of the build, but again, what metal is used, both thickness and make up of the metal,(mild steel, ar 400/500 and the likes and so on) is always good info to know, as it can tell you some what to expect on wear and tear and how fast or slow it maybe! also, something I have noticed a lot more the last few yrs is, spec's on quick attach plates, on the back of implements, some are not as universal as others, meaning I have found some that are way wider or narrower, as well as Taller, which I think would be nice to see listed in spec charts when giving info on them! nothing sucks more than gettimng an implement delivered to find it does fit, ( got a set of forks that won't fit on any bobcat brand, even though said UNIVERSAL quick attach, its just an inch too narrow, , so as I said, NOT so universal in reality, had specs been posted, it would have been easy to tell if it wouldn;t work!) and I have also seen some that again have been too tall, making very sloppy attachment to machines, seems that universal size has been altered by some makers in today's world!
