We modified a Lastec (74" I think). In my opinion Lastec is too expensive.

Hi guys, i am not driving another 500 miles to deliver this New and improoved list to pt. Charlie, Sedgwood and i delivered the last one to no avail. Some of us even lost some money on tht trip, called NEW attachments. Not a single thing was build, changed or even discussed with the gentelmen/women on this pt forum. But i guess it is good dreaming, a search of the pt forum could reveal more good ideas but they are now a yeaar old. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Well, they did change the layout of the engine compartment on the 425. And they got rid of the hydro-back. And they got stronger wheel motors, and they increased the lift, so they are continuing to improve that product line. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Maybe that is why PT sells the "Custom Attachment Plate"!!!

All you have to do is design and build whatever attachment you want and stick it on their Plate!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif What could be easier than that!!??!! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Not sure the expense could be worth it but Ingersoll makes a hydraulic chipper/shredder for $1900...yikes. Then you would still have to attach it to the PT

Ingersoll Chipper

we have taken advantage of this a few times so far: Famous Cheap Snow plow (see thread) vertical Grapple designed and built by Charlie, converted Leafplow from Jrco, our own fabrication of a leafblower buggy (11hps) Little Wonder, converted Lesco 100# fert and seed spreader, trailer hitch and two 57 inch deck Kunz acerease mower (here we used the quick attach to easier load and unload the trailer mowers on and off the landscape trailers) just to name a few finished and in operation projects.

To be finished this year, the conversion of a brush saw, we call it multiflora destroyer,it is a horizontal sawbalde powered by a hydro motor.

A box like affair that fits on your forks. Has rails and floor platform to stand on when working high areas. Raise the forks and you have your manlift. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

We used to use something like this all the time back in my warehouse days. Very useful when you have to count inventory fifty feet up. So I'm pretty sure these "cages" are available already. The problem is that the PT forks, I think, are not adjustable. They should be. They'd be far more useful if you could set their spread. The cages I'm referring to required that you set the forks wide apart. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Power Trac lists the forks for the 400 series as pallet forks. They are only $250.00 last I checked. I think if they made them adjustable, the price would rise. Plus, the little 400s only lift 800#. The adjustable folks might take away from the useful load.

As for a man lift... you ride up there, I'll drive! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
