I am wanting to make a fast attach system for the bucket of a Case-IH front end loader mounted on a IH-574. I want to be able to switch from bucket to forks easily. Anyone know of where I might purchase the coupling mechanism to minimize the amount of work to accomplish this task? Thanks

How much/how often to you want to lift ? I've seen a LOT of construction backhoe/loaders where you don't take the bucket off to add the forks.

They (the forks) usually "hook" into fixtures on the top edge of the bucket. You don't even have to get out of the loader, just drive up and snag the pin in the hook.

To let go of 'em you tilt the bucket waaay down and set the forks on the ground, then back out from under the pins. Not for full-time material handling, but for occasional use like a construction site, just fine.

Need a quote on a bucket fork for a Fermec FM650 B 2,000 to 6,000 load rate

bbott,
Thanks for the followup. I have this arrangement now. I need the weight reduction as well as I need to be able to better see the placement of the forks.

You want a quick hitch called a Sure-Lock. Have one on my 2050A loder on a 574. Works real well. Will look at it to see where it is made.

I appreciate you response and I am looking forward to receiving the mentioned info. Pls. describe the time required to switch from bucket to forks and what you go through to accomplish the change? Are tools required to make the change or do you use levers/pins/clamps/etc.?
