What other manufacturers make a Skid Steer to 3pt adapter besides Switch-Hitch from Kasco? Based on Spencer's thread, the Switch-Hitch from Kasco is a $500 item, so I sure wouldn't mind shopping around a bit.

Mosey, I don't think I have ever heard you mention that you can weld but I will throw this idea out there anyway. TSC (and many others) sell a "quick hitch" that you hook up to your 3-point (I have attached a picture). TSC sells their cat 1 quick hitch for under $200. You can buy a blank skid steer type quick-attach plate for under $80 from a Bobcat dealer. These two items could probably be welded together and then you would basically have a Switch-Hitch. Even if you can't weld I am sure you could take these items to a local shop or even a nearby farmer friend and have it welded up quite reasonably. Now for even a cheaper solution try to find a used quick hitch and instead of buying a blank Bobcat plate just weld the flanges you need directly onto the used quick hitch.

I did a web search and found out that Bradco also makes one. I still need to find a dealer and get a price on one. Here’s their web site:
