scmn | Just some food for thought. Koyker uses two handles between the loader arms (like a skid steer) to actuate the global attachment pins while most other factory plates and adapters use a single release lever from the left hand side. Most factory faceplate will automatically latch the attachment when bucket is curled back.
I mention this because reaching over the side of the boom to undo the latch is a pain compared to pulling the single pin from the side. I built our faceplate to use global with our 148 loader and originally I just slid pins in to hold the attachment on and reaching over the boom to install the pins was not fun; trying to pull a leaver would be worse. I ended up using short 1"x4" cylinder to slide the pins in and our so I do not have to leave the tractor seat. If the Koyker setup used hydraulics I would stay it would be superior to others, but since that is not the case I would just pin on the adapter before spending $1000+ on another faceplate that is inferior.
