Looking for used PT1460 attachments or used SSQA Attachments

PowerTracManiac · Jul 24, 2024

Looking for post hole digger and 12 and 24 inch augers.
Brush cutter.
Concrete mixer.

Going to start the pole barn project soon. I am in central Va.
If I can't find used PT attachments at a good cash price, I will build an adapter plate and get SSQA attachments.

I have a stump grinder and a 4 in 1 bucket that could go if anyone wants those/trade?

I would skip the concrete mixer. The concrete dust will get all over the bearings on your loader, cylinders and spool valves.

Much less expensive to get an electric mixer that you can move around the site while empty with your loader. I just loop a chain around the top crossbar on the mixer and pick it up from there to move it where I want it. I also have a plastic concrete mixing tub that I use to dump cement into when I want to move the wet cement with the loader.

As for the brush cutter, I'm not pleased with the OEM brush cutter for my PT1445 because the stump jumper, blades and blade bolts are not as heavy duty as the ones on my J-Bar cutters for my regular tractors. Also I didn't like the way it discharged material back towards me on the operator's station and piled up between the left front tire/frame until I added a piece of metal to deflect the debris. The wheels were too small, IMO, as well, so I spent more time and money to install laminated tires/wheels to increase the height of the cutting deck. I'm not so sure but what I'd rather had have a cutter built for a skid steer provided I could find one with the appropriate weight and GPM.

Well those reply are very helpful, TU.
Ordered an adapter plate from Terry at PT today.
Going to get the 3 point hitch plate to SSQA as recommended on here in previous post and see how can make that work by welding on the PT adapter plate?
I am seeing SSQA attachment prices going down so I will prolly end up going that route as the PT1460 stuff seems to be rare and pricy.

I bought this pump and am in the process of installing it on a 4 foot bush hog. It runs 400 rpm verified (i have a laser tach and verified the revolutions on this unit) on my 2425 at 9 gpm. I installed a larger oil cooler and it works well for keeping my oil temps down.
