Ok thanks. Any idea on price?

When I asked about a pin and cone to euro last year it was about £800, so I ended up finding an old headstock and made my own. Euro to pin and cone is fairly easy to make out of box and just buy the matbro pins and weld on top of box and euro brackets welded other side.

Unless you swap implements with the matbro a lot i wouldn't bother. Problems would include extra length, weight, more moving points, insurance and the matbro attachments being too big to start with.
Ok for a bale spike or something.
I can put my euro attachments on manitou with an adapter but wouldn't want it the other way round.

I'm keeping my Terex T200, so I really wanted a backup loader tractor, theirs always a chance of a burst pipe or something else.

how do you like the tractor. Looking for one myself
We have one, bought it in 2015, we like it, especially the visibility with a loader on. We had the water pump go this summer but that’s the only issue we’ve had with it in 2500 hours. Ours was a dealers stock tractor, it was only a Dyna4, I’d rather it a Dyna6, it also doesn’t have front axle suspension which again I’d rather have but apart from that we have no complaints.

I had water pump go in a 5612 earlier this year also at 2500hours.
