3pth skid steer adapter

[SkogenMe]

Does anybody know of other versions of skid steer attachment plate that is set up to be mounted on a 3pth? Looks as though there are alot more that are made to adapt a skid steer to use 3pth implements than the other way around...

What's wrong with the one you linked? I have ATI's FEL adapter and it is great. Extremely well made and a perfect fit both to my JD quick attach and to my skid steer implements.

Nothing wrong...It isn't cheap (~750) so I was just wondering what else was out there. It was also interesting to see how many more 3pth to QA adaptors are available (presumably for skid steers) than there are QA to 3pth.
What I would really like is a tool carrier kind of setup which has full QA/3pth/pto capabilities front and rear...but it seems that a bidirectional tractor is well beyond being justifiable /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Toolcats and Power Tracs are a good direction ...maybe a Unimog /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I will probably bite the bullet sometime this summer. If I don't make one, I will probably get the ATI.
thanks for the thoughts

I've done a similar search myself and come up with these:

VIRNIG

(at the bottom of the page)

and

BRADCO

I have not looked at what they would cost, but, the BRADCO doesn't appear to have locking pins where the ATI does.

This site gives some info on dimensions for a Universal Quick Tach from Bobcat: Skid Steer

Thanks for the links.... I hadn't seen them before. I couldn't get a real idea of what the Virnig looked like to figure out if it was an adaptor plate or a QA mechanism. As you say, the Bradco appears to be a fixed adaptor...I know it sounds alittle strange and I will lose some lift capability but what I am trying to do is to have a Bobcat style QA on the FEL and on the 3pth so I can use the same attachments on either end. I realize that means having some attachments on the back that go 3pth-QA-QA-3pth /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif but hey the fact that you can change quickly is very helpful
thanks for the thoughts
