The origin of the Universal Quick Tach lies with a company called Bobcat. They created an easy method to connect and disconnect attachments easily. This method was copied by other manufactures, but not fully. Because of this connection method, attachments made for one manufacturer would not fit others. This has been the shortcoming of the industry because if you changed machines, you would have to adapt your machine to all of your attachments.

After 1994 most of the manufacturers got together and started making the Bobcat style Quick Tach available on their machines. This spawned many new attachment businesses such as Skid Steer Solutions.

Why? Because we could now sell our attachments to more than one manufacturers' customers.

Although when looking at the quick tach, they may appear to look differently, the dimensions should be about the same. Below is shown a 2005 Bobcat Quick Tach. Your quick tach should be similar in design. Your pins may extrude out the bottom at different points and we allow for that. Check the pin out slot measurements and check them against yours if you are not sure.
