Abstract:
1. A tractor loader attachment system, comprising: a pivot bracket attached to a first mounting bracket, wherein said first mounting bracket is attached to a tractor frame of a tractor vehicle; an engaging member having a first end, a second end and a pivot portion between said first end and said second end, wherein said engaging member is pivotally connected to said pivot bracket via said pivot portion; and an actuator attached to said first end of said engaging member and to said tractor frame, wherein movement of said actuator pivots said engaging member into a release position or a catch position, wherein when said engaging member is in said catch position said second end engages an upper shaft disposed on top of a loader frame to prevent said loader frame from being removed from said first mounting bracket and wherein when said engaging member is in said release position said second end does not engage said shaft thereby allowing said loader frame to be removed from said first mounting bracket; including a control unit in communication with said actuator to control movement of said actuator, wherein said control unit is comprised of a valve unit fluidly connected to a pressurized hydraulic system of said tractor vehicle, wherein said valve unit is fluidly connected to said actuator, and wherein said actuator is comprised of a hydraulic cylinder.
