Skid Steer Adapter on a Ford 5000 FEL

Putting a quick attach or quick hitch adapter on the front end loader of my Ford 5000. Also called a skidsteer attachment. My tractor uses a Westendorf TA-26 with their snap-attach system. This will allow me to use Kubota implements.

I have the same FEL on my Ford 5000.
I also live in Arkansas.

Hey that's awesome! It seems pretty strong, it'll get the front tires up. I dug out a culvert last week with it and was pretty rough on it.

Which westendorf front loader attachment is that I have a Ford 4000 Hydro and how much was it if you don't mind me asking and thanks for the great content I subscribed

The quick hitch attachment on the load I bought directly from Westendorf. I think it was right around $1000 plus shipping and tax. I just called them and told them I have a TA-26 and need a snap hitch to quick hitch adapter. But they also sell one where you take off the snap hitch entirely and replace it with a quick hitch for about the same price. I didn't because I have loader attachments for both kinds of hookups and didn't feel like cutting/welding to convert them.

@Middle Acres I was meaning the bucket loader attachment not the quick disconnect attachment? Sorry for not specific

@@jacobaguilar6756 TA-26. It's a good one.

Do you not have a chain you could have picked it up with the tractor and unloaded it works smarter not harder

[@middleacres3616]

That's true I would have chained it to the bucket next.
