Euro headstock to Manitou

[Al R]

Unsure how mad of an idea this is so bare with me…..

I have a manitou telehandler which has a large array of attachments.
I recently bought a tractor with a loader on Euro headstock, no attachments.

Is it a crazy idea to have Euro brackets welded onto a 1” thick flat plate which then have Manitou hooks on the other side so the Euro headstock can pick up the manitou attachments - pallet forks, bale squeezer, muck grab, post knocker, even the bucket in an emergency etc. Crazy idea or not?

Nope, not at all. In fact I have a euro to Manipoo headstock,made by slewtic.

I just ordered a euro to pin n cone for my merlo for exactly the same reason!

We have a Slewtic one just like that, the only problem is its heavy and puts the heavier Manitou attachment even further out.

Have seen the whole headstock changed. My cousin has a manitou headstock on his quickie loader. Got to be a better option if you have no euro attachments.

I’d go with this option if you’ve got no euro attachments. The loader will handle the manitou attachments easier. Its far safer & could even have hydraulic locking if you felt fancy. Just put the euro headstock in a shed incase you decide to sell the loader.

Best way, the adaptor plate moves the attachment a fair bit further out

Anyone know who makes the manitou headstocks that for the euro loaders?

Don’t understand why folk think Hydraulic locking is “fancy”.
It was standard on the Sambron Jaklift from the 1970’s

I can recommend this company. Bought a well made euro to Manitou adapter from them last year.
