What kind of compatibility issues have you seen with non-JCB attachments?

If you have a collection of attachments that aren’t designed for your JCB, you might be curious about how they mesh. Have you come across any surprising fit, hydraulic, or performance issues while using non-JCB equipment on your machine?
 
I once tried a random grab on my machine, thinking it would fit, but the hydraulics went crazy. Turns out the flow was way wrong. I learned that thinking something is close enough can cost you big time.
 
Last summer, I put a non-JCB bucket on. It seemed okay, but it felt weak when I lifted a heavy load. The cylinders weren't the right size. I learned that you need to check the numbers, not just guess.
