There is a company in Finland that makes the AVANT.

I believe it is sold in the U.S. as the GEHL AVANTAGE.

It is powered by a Kubota 20hp diesel.

They have an interesting list of ATTACHMENTS available.

 This model, 300 Series, is SKID STEER!! Only the 'top of the line' 500 Series is articulated steering!!

 Too bad it's not:

MADE IN USA

But they do have lots of US dealers!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

From Gehl I did learn that my PT-425 not only has a ROPS, but also a FOPS!! www.gehl.com/avantage/avantage2.pdf

We use to use bed springs... but we have had a water bed for 20 years, so that's out. Makes good mud, though.

OK

As for thinking about other attachment possibilities...

Toro also has some small attachments for its Dingo series like the TX425.

For example the Eliminator Scarifier.
42" wide, 210lbs, five teeth behind the comb.

Ditch Witch has several attachments for its compact utility units.
Ditch Witch Attachments

Their Vibratory Plow is often preferred for laying wire and irrigation pipe 6-8" down.

It needs 12gpm. I wonder how well it would work on the PT-1430?

Bobcat also has small attachments for its Mini Track Loaders and for the 463.

Small Bobcat Attachments

Their small Landplane is a 48x48" unit weighing 390lbs. It has scarifiers.

You want some ideas on attachments?

Take a peek at the MultiOne, a European articulated tractor, now being sold stateside. It has telescoping loader arms and some 50+ attachments. Look {HERE} and click on "Accessories"

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifLooks like there are more neat machines out there than just Power Trac!! I wonder if any are homeowner affordable like the PT? Some sure do look puuurdy!! Lots of small diesels!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Start looking at prices of those things and you will go out to your building and kiss your PT425. It is a real bargain for what we get out of them. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

As to Power Trac attachments, I noticed their attachment page is not complete.
Power Trac Attachments

In recent Compact Equipment Magazines, under the showcase area, Power Trac has had pictures of a polyethylene cement mixer in 4 and 6 cu ft sizes, and of a concrete reinforcement wire roller.

 That's what I figured! Sorta like looking at the Viper when you go in to have your Neon serviced! The Viper is sharp, but you know in your heart that the Neon will take you to the same places!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Many PT fans bemoan that PT does not have a diesel smaller than 30hp. I notice that the Avant in their 500 Series offers a 20hp Kubota and even a 14hp Kubota!! And, 14, 20, or 28hp in the same size machine!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
