Changing Attachments
To prevent unexpected attachment release from the
hitch, be sure to properly secure the hitch lock pins by rotating the latch
levers to a horizontal position.
The skid loader features a All-Tach™ attaching mechanism (hitch) for
mounting a bucket or other attachment. Two latch levers secure the
attachment.
