I found a Simplicity 46" snowblower on ebay that welded up to work with my loader. Thought I'd show some pics. The idea was to have the blower work with the loader and my "quick connects" so I could avoid all the sub frame stuff and still have the loader available when needed for bucket...

You guys know your PTs backwards, forwards, and upside down. Do you think it would be possible or feasible to actually "ground-up" build a "430", that would incorporate a 30+ horse diesel, 1430 size wheel motors and wheels, 6' lift height at 1200lbs., but maintain roughly the size of the 425...

I have a Simplicity Legacy XL FEL loader rated for 500lbs.. I am looking to fab a quick attach system that will mount to the loader arms and tilt cylinders with minimal weight and forward extension of the implement. I am building adjustable forks and would like to be able to switch between my...

I'm looking for a new welder and wonder if the 175 to 180 mig units are really the best machines for fabbing stuff out of 1/4" plate and above. I like the ease of a mig welder over stick but it seems that, unless you get into the 200+ amp range (more $ than I can justify), the limit for the...

When you put the 425 in the float position, what floats? Is it the loader arm assembly or the tilt/curl of the attachment plate, or both. And how much resistance to "floating" from the hydraulic cylinders is there. The reason I ask is that I am trying to conjure a way to use a 2" male...

What is the size difference between the grapple bucket and the light material bucket? I can't find anything in the PT literature that gives this information. Would it be feasible and/or practical to fabricate grapple arms for the LMB (maybe even with an easy on - easy off type feature) that...

Are the wheel motors on a new 425 comparable in durability to traditional axles like on my CUT? Motor issues seem to be discussed here some, and a little insight into potential problems, maintainence routines, and any other tidbits would be appreciated. My hydraulic experience is limited to...

I think I read here that someone tinkered with some sort of secondary control lever(?) mounted on the joystick that would control the minihoe bucket curl and bypass the use of the auxiliary PTO lever. Did I dream this, and if not, does anyone have pictures/descriptions of this modification or a...

Hello everyone, My name is Dave and I am new to your forum. I happened to be noodling around a week or so ago and happened across the PT forum and immediately became intrigued by these machines. I apologize for the length of this first post but I have a number of questions that I'm sure you...
