PT1850 for Sale

Thx MR For clarifying this comment.

When pt first started using a qa plate, patents still covered Bob-tach plate and other proprietary attachment types. These companies finally gave up trying to trap buyers in their platform as competition heated up and cad, plasma & welding technology became much more accessible to small shops and home shops.

Unlike most, pt will sell their attachments w no plate so you can attach your own. Their attachments are less costly than most quality comparables.

I've used dozens of attachments for mini and standard skidsteers from about every major and a lot of minor brands. Dollar for dollar power-trac attachments are the best value imo and for their own machines the best match in weight geometry and applied power.

One thing not many people may realize is that a power trac qa plate fits into the central void of most skidsteer plates meaning the attachment is available to both platforms without any compromise. I have a few implements set up this way and it sure helps when a carrier is not available due to scheduling or downtime to still use the tool on another carrier.

I find it easier to use the PT quick attach (lines up better even if not perfectly on the same plain) and it seems superior to me. I made a PT to SSQA adapter. I initially had a front hoe (mini hoe) Titan brand that I used the adapter with. The hoe pulled itself off the SSQA portion of the adapter multiple times! I cut off the SSQA and installed a PT plate on the hoe and never had a problem to date. If you talk to engineers, they say the SSQA design was never attended for 100+ hp tractors that they are being used on today. I didn't tell him I had problems with 30 hp.
