quick attach for grapple

[crovol]

are there any aftermarket bolt on plates to put on front of loader to fasten the quick connects to hook up a grapple?

Do you have the SSQA style attachment on you loader now? If so then yes, Northern Tools sells them as well as many other sources.

Giving some more details like what tractor/loader you have may help us help you as well.

If your talking about the actual SSQA style quick attachment, then yes several manufactures sell the adapters to go from pin on bucket attachment to Quick attach, you can even buy the parts to make your own.

Or, are you talking about the add-on third function hydraulic remote hook up connections?
Not that I know of, you'll have to either make it yourself or get someone to do it for you.

yea its the remote hookups,i thought it would be easier to hook up if they were solidly fastened to the front of the loader somewhere. thanks for the info

OK, so you want what's normally called a "bulkhead". They are usually just made from simple materials like angle iron and either bolted, welded, or otherwise strapped onto the torque tube on the loader.

Here are some fittings to make it easier: http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/Bulkhead_Couplings_s/220.htm

Crovol, here's a simple way to do what your talking about. It was fast and easy and work very well while I had lines run from rear to the front. I made another just like it that mounted on the loader tube mount for removing the loader, then that set of lines stayed connected to it.
