Just my thoughts.
I can see the need to need to mount it to the PT, if you need to move the tool to a remote, inaccessible work area. But, is that always the case? |
One other thing is a generator. Usually, when the power is out, there is storm damage, ice or snow. I want to be able to use the tractor to clean stuff up and not have to shut down the house power to do it.
However, I could use a log splitter powered by the PT. In my situation, I can haul the logs to a staging area,
cut them to length and split them right there and toss them on the trailer to take home. If, for some reason, I need to use the PT, the quick attach is so fast, it just isn't a hindrance to change an implement. Remember, it only takes 30 seconds to change out a powered implement and only 15 for non powered.
