Hi, I am new here and relatively new to skid steers. I bought a 2008 Cat 262B to do work around my acreage last year and now want to plant some trees with it. I can borrow a tree spade from a neighbor but he runs a 2002 John Deere Skid steer and I'm trying to find out if the hose ends on his spade will work for me or if I will have to change them. I've searched for a hour or more already and haven't had any luck finding a definite answer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As long as both sides have the same style hydraulic couplers it should work, your Cat more than likely has flat faced style like the ones pictured, I am guessing the Deere does too.
Or do this..... I went to my local hydraulics supplier and bought some fittings, added the old style fittings on "tees" so I can run my old attachments.
Thanks for the help, the fittings worked good and we had no issues with the auger.
