A tool for the future BUTCHER SHOP on the farm?

What happens here

Before unloading, the speaker elaborates on the importance of the 'skid steer quick attach' system on his tractor's front loader. He explains that this universal attachment type is superior to proprietary systems (like John Deere's own) because it allows for compatibility with a wider range of implements. He manually guides the pallet forks into position on the loader, then raises the tractor's bucket to engage the forks, and finally secures them by pushing down two levers.

Goal: The speaker demonstrates and explains the process of securely attaching the skid steer quick attach pallet forks to the tractor's front loader.

so before we get started before we unload everything before we hook up to our pallet forks I want to talk a little bit about this because you guys may or may not know this so John Deere has a proprietary attache for the front of the tractor in other words you can order it with the John Deere proprietary attachment that uses basically only John Deere implements or you'd have to get an adapter plate or he can order it with the skin steer quick attach this is the skin steer type quick attach and basically all this does this little piece right here is a flat piece of metal and it gets up underneath an attachment like this in my opinion you'd almost be a fool to not buy I don't care what brand tractor you buy but to not buy a tractor with a skid steer type quick attach because most attachments are gonna be skid steer type you will totally limit yourself if you're buying a proprietary type attachment and I don't care who hears it that's just what I think and that's what works for me if you want to go buy attachments you're gonna have a harder time finding attachments for the front of your tractor that our John Deere specific or specific to a specific brand of tractor so what you want to do is buy a tractor with the skid steer quick attach and you won't have to do any adapter plates or anything like that just my two cents but I thought I explained it to you the way this works is I'm going to lift it up on here right now because of right here on it so that's mounted up and then there are two left and one lever here and one lever here so I'm going to go raise the bucket up and we'll close those levers down and this will be firmly attached to the tractor [Applause] that's a little bit about tractors if you don't know a lot about tractors well now you know something guys post some comments down there tell me what you think do you think of skid steer quick attaches better'n do you think the John Deere proprietary systems better let me know
