Welcome to the forum gabelmatt. :usa

Send us some pics when you get the pin grabber installed.

I think the smallest hoe we have with a hydraulic quick connect is a 312... Don't know our brands right off the top of my head.... but the all work well ... unless you don't grease the slide... you can even put the bucket on backwards..
It's another one of those things that get missed ... but if you take the bucket off at least a week to grease ..

I have a Werk Brau mech. coupler on my mini. This is my second one. Its quick and secure.

Thanks for the advise guys.THis web site is awsome for us guys owning/running equipment.I will definatly put some pics of the new pin grabber.I had a mechanical one on my last Cat and really like it,but I just bought a brand new one so I thought I would get all the bells and whisles on it.
Thanks again

Gabelmatt is it mechanical or hydraulic? I went to their website and their stuff looks good. Didn't know anyone out there made a hyd. coupler wedge or pin grabber style for minis. I'd be interested in seeing your pics.

I believe that it is pin.I have a mechanical on it for now,I've been waiting for the hydraulic one for 3 weeks and it finally showed up.

If it works as good as the Yanmar hydraulic coupler you will be happy. I have the AMI buckets and thumb on my machine. They make good attachments.

Glad to hear you like it. I ran a 302.5 and did some work for a friend one day and absolutely loved it. but there is a big difference between running a 302.5 and a 345cl. haha

I used to work at toromont cat in cambridge...were you taking your machine to the battlefield beside it or to the battlefield up in waterloo?
Hope the pin grabber turns out well! It makes things so much easier.

Mine telling us how much it cost

 

[gabelmatt]

I'm actually not sure how much it was. It was all included in the price of the machine when I bought it.

Cool, can't wait to see the pics.
