    Anyone make a grapple out of power tracs fixed pallet forks?

    Pallet forks don't get much use and to me seems like they would work better than using the bucket. Any ideas on designs?

    Tractor Reviews

    So has anyone gotten an e-mail from TractorByNet.com to write a review on their tractor make and model yet? There is only one PT review so far. I don't have time now but I think I will do one. I just don't like that they post your name on the site.

    OK why a fire extinguisher? Is there pretty much a root cause for the PT catching fire? Could it be from the chintzy clear fuel hose? Should this hose be replaced? Or is it mostly from the engine? These robin engines are rated pretty good in quality control. Now don't drill me, I see some of...

    I was reading many older threads and one caught my interest. While in the float position such as mowing, can you use the front tilt to keep the quick attach straight. I notice when in float no hydraulic lift is applied but if you bump the lever left or right it will operate the front tilt...
