FLU Farm, that work on the quick attach adapter looks great! What do you think of the quality of the Titan adapter? Are those the ears off the bucket or did you fabricate new ones and leave the originals on the SEE bucket? So only one question remains about your mod, are you going to try and run auxiliary hydraulics out to the front to let you use powered toys on the new quick attach?
Skid, that Titan piece is near perfect for our loaders. At least I never found anything affordable that would match it. Still, it's a good idea to check it for being square and straight. One end on mine was a bit off, but not in a way that matters. And once everything is installed, that connector bar becomes useless. Sure is a major time saver while "adapting the adapter", though.
Those are the ears off the bucket. They must have material added in places, and modified a bit in general, but since they have to be removed anyway (to allow the plate to be installed on the bucket) it was probably quicker to reuse them than scratch building new ones.
As mentioned, there's still some fine tuning to be done. Clearances by the lower pivot when dumping the bucket, for example. Also, a little "dumping ability" was sacrificed due to the new angle of the ears. That could be compensated for by mounting the plate to the bucket a bit differently, but I'm putting mine on flat against the bucket.
I've thought about putting a diverter valve on the front hydraulics (like on the HMMH) as I could run my regular snow plow's angle function that way.
In reality, that plow will likely still be used on the tractor (I'm running both front and rear blades simultaneously on it to increase the odds of showing gravel into the ditches, and make it that much harder to operate) and the SEE will be used for the snowblower.
Of course, the big unknown is if the rear hydraulics have enough oomph to power it.
If it does work, the backhoe is coming off for the winter. Mostly because I'd like to lower the center of gravity. It'll be hard enough to upright the SEE after I put it on its side (remember those ditches I mentioned?) even without the backhoe.
