Best 3-PT adapter for Skid-steer?

[MrJimi]

Has anyone seen an adapter than also has a hydraulic pto?
Thanks dylan

My other one will have a hydraulic PTO !! I bought 2 of these
I already have motor

I will update thanks for the reminder. Good thinking about the lift capacity, it should work out. I have the B series toolcat.

What kind of motor are they using? This unit looks pretty simple to fabricate if I could get the right motor.

thanks dylan

The toolcat will lift 2000 lbs to full height even though it is rated for 1500 lbs. The 1500 lb rating is based on the tipping limit. (Actually, the most difficult part of the lift for the toolcat is when the loader arms are straight forward during the lift.) The lift rating needs to be half of the tipping limit. For the toolcat, that is 1500 lbs. Having said that, with the pto adapter, and 1000 lb rotadairion your weight is kind of out there but you won't be lifting it very high. You will probably be OK. The rotary 60" Brushcat from bobcat weighs about 1600 lbs and is approved for the toolcat C and D series and is probably similar in overall length as the rotadarion. I am not sure if it is approved for the B series.
The pto hp may still be an issue unless your toolcat has hi flow.

Does anyone know of a lighter, simpler unit? I only want to run one attachment so I don't need the fancy ajustments.

I am in the same boat as you with my PT. Ksimolo and I purchased stuff from Lackender, including a 3pt adapter. It keeps everything pretty close. That said, I am thinkng about creating a rig where I just go out an purchase a PTO motor and bolt it to the equipment itself. I have 3 things that PT does not make well, a good roto tiller, a chipper, and a nasty brush hog. My plans are to purchas said items (maybe used) and just rig an attachment to make the motor work..

Dylan,

Attached is a link to a thread about mounting a brush cutter on a loader and driving it hydraulically. Not the same as your project but similiar.
