I have a 3020 with a 148 loader that sits way too much, I crawl out under the raised boom of my skid loader way too often. Anything wrong with putting an adapter plate on the 148 so I don't have to crawl under the boom to get out? Also who makes one?
We sell those adapters that come on and off. But I usually try and steer folks to buy a new skid loader face plate that is designed to directly pin onto your existing JD loader. Less weight hanging out there, and the hook up point for attachments is closer to the tractor, and less to go wrong. Then from now on you can use skid loader attachments on everything. Buy some of those cheap blank weld on plates to adapt your existing buckets and forks to fit the new skidloader hook ups on the loader. You will never regret it.
