Hi, I'm getting real close to buying a 2004 JD410G. I'm going to build my house, shop and a lot of other projects on the property. Has anyone done a quick connect front bucket? Would like to be able to remove the bucket and pick up forks whenever the need arises. Cheers
Search around for a used hydraulic front coupler (frame with hyd cylinder and lock pins) Deere # AT434453. It’s used on lots of Deere b/hoes including 410G and appears it is still used on current production machines. Deere had a plumbing kit with solenoid to operate the front coupler available when the “G” backhoes were current Im sure attachment suppliers like CRAIG or AMI can fix you up with a plumbing kit and “blanks“ to install on your current pin on bucket.
Whats with the rear bucket picture ?
Isn't that a plumbed connection that could serve for any function. I don't know anything about backhoes. Lol
I wouldn’t consider using that rear plumbing to run a front coupler. Actually to keep things really simple , why not buy a set of forks that “ hang“ off the front bucket. See example below.
I have a set of those. I hate them, can’t see a damn thing what you’re doing. Need to put a camera in the bucket to see anything.
I agree Harley, I would prefer to drop the bucket and pick up a set of forks
That’s why I’m rebuilding a skid steer. Need forks for moving my money around. lol
