Has anyone ever contacted Koyker through their web site and received a reply? Some time back I asked if they could supply measurements required by tooth bar makers for the 195 bucket. They did not answer. So I asked again. Again, no answer. This is not a matter of competition since they do not list tooth bars as one of their products. I would take the measurements myself but the tractor is in OK and I am in Maryland.
I just asked them for information if parts were available to convert my 195 from bucket only to a quick attach system. Let's see if they answer.

Parry, When I was trying to get pricing from Koyker to upgrade the hydraulic cylinders from 1.75" to 2.0" ID, like you I e-mailed them, two weeks later, no reply. I tried calling and left several voice mails, no return call. I e-mailed again, another week went by when finally they answered with the most ridiculous high price I could imagine. Needless to say I did not buy from them. I suppose they are not staffed to keep up with the demand. Rob or Brad should be able to get you the dimensions, they have the exact same 195 loader as yours. Good luck with your tooth bar. I think Koyker does make a QA for their FEL's. I just purchased a universal skid steer QA for a FEL from: www.hayspear.com/ A.K.A. Washburn Co. It is the highest quality with the best price I could find. CLICK HERELarry |

Parry,
Good to hear from you. I have a 60" bucket on mine. The inside dimension is close to 59.5". The side edges are rolled over and the rounded part is a little proud of the surface on the inside. My toothbar is covered with mud right now otherwise I would give some more detail. I might have time tomorrow night to clean it up. I'm pretty sure Rob has a 72" bucket. What size is yours?
I've been thinking about a quick-attach for a while. My buddy is always bragging about how much he likes his pallet forks on his TC48 that came with a QA bucket.
Larry I think that is the best deal I've seen yet on a QA conversion. Everyone else is way over $600. How much was their shipping?

..........SNIP.....SNIP...... Larry I think that is the best deal I've seen yet on a QA conversion. Everyone else is way over $600. How much was their shipping? Brad, Shipping was $95 via UPS ground to New Mexico, It might be less to your zip code. They (Washburn) make two different width QA adapters, the one I got ($505) and another one @ $475. To determine which model QA, measure the outside width of the bucket arms where it attaches to the bucket. If 46" or less then you can use the 46" and less model, if even just a smidgen greater then 46" then you have to get the $505 model. Check the spec details from the web site. Larry |

Parry, I called them and then got in touch with a guy who helped me get what I needed.
It was a new cable for the FEL valve. I have the 72" bucket on my Koyker 195. I measured it for you (in case you have a 72" bucket too), but that doesn't mean yours will be exactly what mine measures. Mine measures 71-3/4" on the inside. As I recall, I gave that dimension to Markham and they sent me a toothbar that fit within an 1/8" per side.
Hope that helps...
Rob-

This crazy 56 year-old geography teacher in Memphis, Tennessee believed he can change the energy world... and somehow he did it. Never again pay a single cent to the big energy moguls with this simple, yet efficient "gizmo"... and be among the select 2% of the population that has already stepped into the new free energy era. TV reporters are trying to find outmore details about it, but few know about this video: goo.gl/yPA9qc |
