They sure don't have the 3pt and compact tractor selection that they had in the past. I would lope pallet forks for my 2520.

Mine has a decent selection of either bucket mount or three point pallet forks, bucket mount or three point bale spear, three point snow blower, three point disc, drag harrow, three point middle buster and more.

Not in Edmonton or in the catalog. I wish.

Mine is the red deer store, they said its not in the catalog cause normally these are special order items but they decided to carry some in stock to promote them. The pal hydraulics section has a small print out catalog at their desk that shows all the tractor attachments they have, just had to ask to look at it.

The Ottawa store had some three point attachments that they cleared out last year (carryall, discs, cement mixer, bale forks etc) They were pretty cheap and I only knew about them because of this forum! Not sure if they will still order them but I will ask next time I go in

Next time I go in I will see if I can get a copy of that book and if so I will scan it and if anyone wants I can post or send them a copy cause it has ordering numbers so princess auto can directly type it into their system.

I have a few PA tools also, some I thought were junk and chucked them and most are of good quality.
Because of PA's location to me 3hr drive there and back I get most of my tools through crappy tire (maximum and mastercraft). Iam pretty rough on tools and have broken a few sockets that crappy tire replaced with NO argument on just how did you manage to break that?
I also burnt out the motor on a table saw from crappy tire wich they replaced with a better one because the one that I toasted was no longer in thier system.
I also have UNITOOL sockets and torque wrenches that I got through Rafuse auto in Bridgewater. They (the sockets), are very heavey and solid, also they are larger than your average sockets (25mm and bigger).
I imagine that if I was closer to PA I would shop there more often, after all every once in a while they put the wood splitters on and Iam getting old enough now that when it comes time to split firewood that maul I have is really starting to look like it just does not want to play anymore
It really dosent matter where you get your tools as long as work as designed

I've had decent luck with the tools I've bought there... but the guys are right, the prices aren't as sharp as they used to be.

Well next week I am making a princess auto run, I probably wont get much, only if it is a real good deal. Last time, I actually went into princess, and left with out buying anything!
