Description
NEW 2.8 HD Quick Attach description coming soon. Below is the description for our previous version which is no longer available for purchase. The new 2.8 has had a few updates, one of which is making it compatible with all BX model tractors. The price listed here is for all BX models within the Generation 1 and 2 categories. If you have a 80 Series Tractor (Generation 3) add $40 for the additional pin kit needed. (pin kit can be purchased separately if you change to an 80 Series tractor in the future.)
The Ai2 products Kubota BX Attachments 2.7 HD Quick Attach was designed specifically for the Kubota BX tractor. Ai2 Products came out with the original Kubota BX Quick Attach back in 2007 and the Kubota BX Attachments 2.7 HD Quick Attach is now better than ever. It uses the same basic tried and true design the original quick attach had but takes it to the next level of form, function, and quality.
The Kubota BX Attachments 2.7 HD Quick Attach still shares the same main plate design but that’s where it ends. On the back side, we added two large 2” tubes to help with twist in the quick attach and help gusset the front to back flex we saw in the previous design. Moving the tube back as far as we could help strengthen the overall design of the hitch and gives it our signature round tube design we try to incorporate in all our products.
The front of the Kubota BX Attachments 2.7 HD Quick Attach we redesign the center hook and added the radius plate at the tip to help with aligning to the attachment and help guide it into the attachment. Then we changed the loader pivot capture points to make them light yet more durable than before. They are a tab and slot design and when welded creates an inverted dual I-beam to help with side to side forces. The lock pins have been redesign as well and are cut out of a single piece of .375” A36 plate with a 3/16” washer welded to the top of it. The main reason for this was to eliminate the extra bushings that were needed for the old round shaft design. This new design gives us over triple the surface contact area on the attachment pin distributing the load of the tractor out much better. Plus when you are using our Kubota BX Attachments 2.7 HD Quick Attach, the tractor is being used going forward 90% of the time pushing all the force into the capture plates and not the lock pin.
At the top of the BX Attachments Quick Attach we add a place to park the lock pin when you are moving from one attachment to the next. A simple slot directly above the lock pin has been cut into the main plate so you can just park the pin there without losing it. There is also a small hole cut into the main plate as well so you can park the safety lock snapper pin as well and not lose it or have to hold it while attaching or detaching from any attachment. Our design still uses the large bushings for all the pins to help distribute the load across a much large area of the pin preventing premature wear. The loader pivot points on the BX Attachments 2.7 HD Quick Attach also still integrate a rollback stop and a forward stop just like the factory Kubota BX bucket does to help prevent cylinder damage in either direction.
The entire Quick Attach is constructed of 3/16” A36 plate using the tab and slot design which interlocks all of the parts, creating a lightweight yet very durable design for years of use and abuse. All of our attachments are blasted and powder coated using a Kubota orange color.
This Kubota BX Attachments Quick Attach was the first product we ever designed and manufactured and the one that got us into the Kubota BX attachments world back in 2007. It’s one of the first must have BX attachments you’ll want for your Kubota BX tractor!!

Easy to install and works great, I can now switch between bucket and forks in just a couple minutes. Love the place to park the pin when changing implements. Workmanship is beautiful.

I’ve had quick attach, forks, and receiver hitch for over a year now, and I can tell you it was money well spent. These items are absolute top quality–work as designed, easy to switch between forks and bucket, and they look great too. Nice to have a place to park the pins when switching. Fork width is easily adjustable. Tony, the owner, is very chatty on the phone too. All in all, very satisfied with the purchase.

This quick attachment is the single best accessory for you BX if you have more than one FEL attachment. Awesome quality, practicality and value. Thank you!

Excellent fit, great quality workmanship, straightforward installation. Switching between my grapple and bucket takes less time then it takes for me to write this review. Highly suggest
Bruce Brown –
Precision workmanship. This is the best designed and manufactured item that I have seen in a long time. It works perfect with the new Fork Attachment and my original bucket. What a pleasure to swap back and forth. Thank you Tony!

I have had the quick attach for about 2 years. It is fantastic,easy to switch from bucket to forks in seconds. The quality is perfect as can be. Tony is great to deal with. I have compared your products to a friends John Deere (Frontier) products and the quality doesn’t compare. If your going to get the quick attach you might as well order the forks also. You wont be disappointed. Thanks Tony

Ai2 products, hit it out of the park again on another fine crafted product. Tony your attention to detail and quality is unmatched in the industry. Thanks for this 2.8 quick attach. Do you have a grappler in the works for us orange nuts?
Angela Ashwill –
Thank you James! Awesome review! As of now however, no grapple unit coming. Who knows what the future will hold though. 🙂

I am getting older and trying to learn to work smarter. We have several attachments for our BX2230 and the Ai2 Quick Attach came highly recommended by EA, where I got my grapple. I had to wait a little while but it was worth it. The packing job was excellent, arrived on-time and without a scratch. American made with American materials in a clever design. It now takes me less than five minutes to change FEL attachments. Exactly what I needed. I prefer to do business with fellow veterans whenever possible so this checked all the boxes for me. Very satisfied.
Angela Ashwill –
Thank you Tony for your patience and kind words! So happy to hear it’s working well for you!!
