How To Use Tractor Attachments On A Skid Loader TRACTORS Skid Steer Loaders 28-1-35 Pto-driven, 3-pt. attachments designed for skid steer loaders cost much more than similar attachments for tractors. A new universal mounting plate for skid loaders is equipped with a hydraulic-driven pto that lets you use any pto-driven, Cat. I tractor attachment on a skid loader. The mounting plate can be used for both powered and non-powered attachments.
The "EZ-Pto" drive is equipped with quick hitch brackets and is designed to fit most skid loaders equipped with the standard Bobcat quick tach system.
Two models are available - one for loaders with up to 14 gpm flow rate and the other for loaders with up to 24 gpm flow rate, which includes the Bobcat 500, 600, 700, and 800 series.
The company offers a number of attachments to fit the EZ-Pto drive including small backhoes, log, splitters, tree shears, augers, snowblowers, mowers, manure pumps, etc. However, any pto-driven, 3-pt. attachment can be used.
"Some pto-driven 3-pt. implements for skid loaders cost 10 times as much as similar attachments for farm tractors," says Robert Leib, Skid Steer Solutions.com. "For example, a 3-pt. tractor snowblower may cost $800 to $1,500, but one with similar capacity for a skid loader might sell for up to $6,000. Another advantage is that by mounting the attachment up front you have a much better view."
Leib also offers the EZ-3-pt., which is not equipped with a pto, and a receiver hitch which bolts onto the universal mounting plate. It accepts any standard 2-in. hitch and allows you to install any ball size or pintle hitch.
Prices start at $695 for the EZ-3 pt. and go up to $1,495 for the EZ-pto drive.
