Kubota mini-ex, what is this bucket attachment type?

Hi All, I just bought a used little Kubota that supposedly had 'quick attach' buckets but when I search online for quick attach this is not what I'm seeing. What is this coupler-type called and how do I get the bucket off? I'm assuming I can just loosen the big bolt at the bottom but don't want to screw anything up by guessing...

    That's a mechanical wedge style coupler. Rest the bucket on the ground, remove the bolt, the piece of steel wedged in there will come out then you can uncurl your bucket and bring the stick towards the operator station to remove the quick attach from the bucket.

    Perfect, thank you!
