Getting lazy now

I stumbled across this and thought how cool it would be to adapt a system like this to the PT

Uhm. I don't think that's lazy.

So I started thinking about this again. Does anyone know where to get parts like these that might be adapted to the PT? Any idea what these specific hyd. couplers are even called? Any idea of the costs?

I guess I am not understanding what you want to do? Doesn't your PT already have a hydraulically operated quick attach system?

IIRC, the system referred to in this thread also has automatic hydraulic couplings. 'Twould be nice to have.

They still need some lackey to wipe the fittings off before hookup. It might be a good idea for some things. You could probably build something like that with some break away hydraulic connectors.

Ahh, so it connects the hydraulics automatically, too? That would be cool, but probably too expensive for average homeowner. Maybe not for contractor.

I have a friend who designed one these for his farm tractor. He loves it, and it works well. He has a representative selling it in Europe, but when I looked into it for him in the US market, there wasn't enough interest by the big producers and large scale farmers, who tend to have a tractor per implement, and where implement changes aren't common- unlike PT owners...

All the best,

Thought I would bring this to the top because I found a link to a video of what I was talking about when I first posted this thread.

How slick is that and wouldn't it be great on the PT

So you think Surplus center has that kind of connectors avail? WOW is all I can say...

Maybe I will break my arms off the tractor with my new cylinders and redesign a hole new front end. Then again, maybe I will win the lotto and disappear to a tropical island to spend the rest of my life.
