Hahahaha! You know that's what I'd ask next. :laughing:

I knew he'd beat me to it!

Not great pics... But you should see me draw.

So originally a tractor 3pt to skidsteer adapter. In the pics it's mated to a skidsteer tree shear.

Changes : added 1 pt 1850 qa plate, 1 pt 425 qa plate

Hard to see, the 1850 has stickers and is low on the frame, the 425 plate sits above and 3" away from the frame (toward the PT) this over /under setup means either machine can use its native qa plate... Attach the small qd set and crush some trees...

One more mod and then we'll still be able to use the tractor 3pt (which I have added to rear of my PTs) so I can for example work the forestry flail mower on the front of the 1850, stump grinder in the front of the 425 and the shear on the rear of either.

The yellow cylinder is replacing the red one and 4x the shear pressure... We'll harden a couple of spots for the extra force.

Updated version, ratchet strap takes the load off the lower bucket. Chain goes to top of bucket and the curl function drops the polw to the ground. Loader height does not need to be moved once its setup.
My bucket also has 3x3 x 1/2 inch angle iron welded to the top rail for support and has the chain hooks welded to it.

I welded a hitch reciever where the D ring is now and welded the D ring to the top of the reciever to move my trailers around. Everything is easily removed and stored when not needed

WOW! Very nice you can use it on either size machine.

Here's a link to a video of my power-trac 1850 running a modified fh-d160 trail mower. I'll let the video speak to whether it works.

The botanical victim in the video is a 6 ft wide privet hedge.

For the mower to run off pt hydraulics, an 8ci hydraulic motor was mounted on a plate with slotted holes and a tensioner bolt. Roller chain hubs transmit power.

Man, what did that hedge do to you to deserve such a beating? :laughing:

Very nice! :thumbsup:

At one point I saw you headed towards that pine on the right and thought OH MAN!!!! :laughing:

 

[Incline]

.........and I saw a man and dog head outside and thought OH MAN!!!

I'd say that works just fine.

A little yackity sax and some thought bubbles of either bad hedge jokes or you got the wrong house and you would be a YouTube star.

I was thinking the yackity sax would be a good addition too. I like the idea of "the wrong house" :laughing:
