A month or so ago I bought a quick attach mde by Kubota for my L3010. It came with the unit itself and two pins that stay stationary in your top holes for the bucket and also two pins with handles welded on them that you insert in the bottom holes once you drive in and mount the bucket. I called the dealership today because i wanted to buy two extra pins to put on my forks and leave them there so when I use it just drive in and hook on only having to insert bottom ones then. Pins for my tractor (greasable) which is pointless because these don't get greased are $31 /piece. I said I don't need greasable ones and asked why i can't just buy pins like comes with the quick attach. They called me back and gave me prices for those pins. $67 /piece for the top ones and $78/piece for the bottom if i wanted those too.
You know, I realize in this world evryone needs to make a living, i realize things cost money to make, ship etc..but there is a point where I think people are being taken , and this is one of them. So add it up, I paid $325 + tax for the hole attachment, and if I want to buy the pins used in it I have to pay $290+ tax. So that big pice of steel framework that I add is very nicely made, is valued at $35. Sad part is if you need or want this stuff, you hae to pay it. Why can't companies be out to just make a good living instead of becoming rich
