   I think the smallest hoe we have with a hydraulic quick connect is a 312... Don't know our brands right off the top of my head.... but the all work well ... unless you don't grease the slide... you can even put the bucket on backwards.. It's another one of those things that get missed ... but if you take the bucket off at least a week to grease ..

Thanks again

   Gabelmatt is it mechanical or hydraulic? I went to their website and their stuff looks good. Didn't know anyone out there made a hyd. coupler wedge or pin grabber style for minis. I'd be interested in seeing your pics.

   I believe that it is pin.I have a mechanical on it for now,I've been waiting for the hydraulic one for 3 weeks and it finally showed up.

   If it works as good as the Yanmar hydraulic coupler you will be happy. I have the AMI buckets and thumb on my machine. They make good attachments.

    Small World....I live in Kitchener over in the Doon area lol. How do you like your 305?

12. #12gabelmatt2009-11-19 16:51

    I love the new 305.By far the best machine i've tryed so far.Goin to Kitchener tommorrow to drop it off at Battlefield to get the new pin grabber installed

    Glad to hear you like it. I ran a 302.5 and did some work for a friend one day and absolutely loved it. but there is a big difference between running a 302.5 and a 345cl. haha I used to work at toromont cat in cambridge...were you taking your machine to the battlefield beside it or to the battlefield up in waterloo? Hope the pin grabber turns out well! It makes things so much easier.

    OK guys I finally got the pin grabber put on. Cat had for over a week,but it was worth the wait, the pin grabber works awsome. I should have some pics up tommorrow.

    Mine telling us how much it cost

16. #16gabelmatt2009-12-01 22:13

    I'm actually not sure how much it was. It was all included in the price of the machine when I bought it.

17. #17coopers2009-12-06 04:00
