New Attachments!!!!

[MossRoad]

Well, DUH!!! I re-read the post and went back and looked at the photos again. I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see the grapple you folks were talking about!

It looks like any other PT attachment that uses a cylinder on the right side, and I agree that it would be nice to see a photo of that cylinder.

Sorry for the ineptitude on my part.

I agree the thumb should fold out of the way as I did with mine. The PT thumb would have to be removed for other uses.

If you increase the image size, you can see the top and bottom of the cylinder. It looks similar to all their other cylinders.

Click on the picture, and hold the ctrl key down as you role the mouse thumb wheel.

Sounds like a neat feature that doesn't work on my machine. I'm running XP and Mozilla Firefox. What are you running?

MR, there are add-ons you can get for Firefox that will zoom the picture with a right click of the mouse. You can customize this in different ways which should appeal to any PT owner. Look here for the download:

You're welcome..if we mod our tractors we may as well mod our browsers! I know Firefox fairly well, but I just installed a Vista machine(upgrade from Win98!) and it's a whole new world now!

Here's a small insight into PT's mini-hoe thumb.

I couldn't tell from their photo whether the "thumb" part was two pieces or solid between the parts, so I tweaked their photo a bit to help make that clear.

Even though the thumb doesn't fold, the price is certain good compared to some others that are probably stronger and better made, but might be overkill for the mini-hoe's total lifting and grasping capabilities.
