3-point Hitch Brings The Farm Tractor To The Skid Steer Loader

The 3-point hitch is changing the way farmers do farming

. Every once in a while, someone asks what the difference is between a skid steer loader and a traditional farm tractor. Not to disrespect the venerable farm vehicle, but in my opinion, that's like asking about the difference between an Abrams Tank and a Civil War cannon. The skid steer loader has so many innovations and modern advantages, it really is hard to compare the two. Just look at what the skid steer loader can do for you.

Thing is, farm tractors and their attachments are as hardy and bullet-proof and useful as machines can get. That's why they've lasted for so long, and why they are being updated and refined all the time. However, many farmers, are switching to the skid steer loader as their go to machine, but they still have a barn filled with essential tools and implements that will only attach to the rear of a tractor.

That's where the 3-point hitch come in. A 3-point hitch allows the operator to retrofit older, traditional farm equipment to the front of their skid steer loader. There is no longer a need to switch from vehicle to vehicle just because the hitches don't match. Whether the farmer needs to use a rake or a scoop, a grader or a blade, the job can be done with the versatile skid steer loader and the 3-point hitch.

There are powered adapters as well. The powered 3-point hitch includes a brawny motor and PTO (power take-off) shaft with all the necessary links, so it can be easily connected with a roto-tiller attachment, a mower attachment, a snow-blower, or a firewood-cutter. Buying these tools, each with its built-in motor would be prohibitively costly for any operation. Having the powered 3-point hitch attachment for your skid steer loader means you only buy the motor one time. And that's one revolutionary economical solution to your operation. You now have one piece of equipment that can be easily adapted to your many farming needs.

So what's the difference between the skid steer loader and the tractor? Well, they look different, that's for sure. And the tractor will always be at home on the farm and at the nursery. But to find the skid steer loader, just look for the compact machine that is able to handle all of its own attachments, and farm implements, thanks to the 3-point hitch. Now that's smart work.
