Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach Compatibility

Bradco compact tractor adapter plates are designed to provide additional attachment mounting options for compatible equipment.

The universal skid steer quick attach interface is commonly used on machines from manufacturers such as Bobcat, John Deere, CASE, New Holland, Kubota, Gehl, Mustang, and others.

However, not every machine or attachment uses the same mounting system.

Before purchasing an adapter, verify your tractor's hitch category, mounting dimensions, implement weight, hydraulic requirements, and operating capacity.

Why Use a Compact Tractor to Skid Steer Adapter?

Get More Use from Your Existing Attachments

If you own both tractor and skid steer implements, Bradco adapter plates can help expand the number of applications available to your equipment.

Reduce Equipment Investment

Instead of purchasing duplicate attachments for different machines, a compatible adapter may allow you to utilize implements you already own.

Increase Equipment Flexibility

Use compatible skid steer attachments with your compact tractor or mount compatible tractor implements to your skid steer, depending on the adapter selected.

Ideal for Farms and Landscaping Operations

Bradco adapter plates are especially useful for property owners, farmers, and landscaping businesses that operate multiple types of equipment.

Important Operating Considerations

Bradco adapter plates provide a mechanical mounting connection. They do not automatically supply PTO power, additional hydraulic circuits, or the full operating functions of the machine for which an implement was originally designed.

When mounting skid steer attachments to a tractor's rear 3-point hitch, operators should verify attachment orientation, hydraulic lift capacity, stability, and safe operating clearances.

For skid steer-to-tractor implement conversions, confirm that the attachment can be safely operated without a tractor-style PTO or other unsupported functions.

Always follow the equipment manufacturer's operating recommendations.

Big Dave Review

"A handy way to make your tractor and skid steer attachments more versatile."

If you've got a compact tractor and a collection of skid steer attachments, the Bradco Compact Tractor Adapter can be a useful addition to your equipment.

I like the fact that you can take compatible attachments you already own and put them to work on another machine without buying everything twice.

Just make sure you're ordering the correct adapter. The #87640 is for using skid steer attachments on a tractor's 3-point hitch, while the #88020 lets you mount compatible tractor 3-point implements on a skid steer.

It's a practical solution for farmers, landscapers, and property owners looking to get more use out of their equipment.
