Are all Power Trac attachments interchangeable?

No. Power Trac machines have different hydraulic PTO outputs and that along with the thickness of the Quick attach plate on the machine will determine the size of the attachments that the particular model will run. Please refer to the price sheet of the machine you are interested in to see which size attachments are complimentary to that machine. 

What if I have another brand of attachment that I

would like to use on my Power Trac?

You can, providing that the 1. hydraulic output of the attachment is compatible with the hydraulic PTO on the machine. (Please refer to the machine's info since this varies with every model.)... and 2. you purchase a custom attachment plate from Power Trac and weld it onto the attachment- this will allow you to use Power Trac's quick attach system wit this particular attachment.

If I purchase a Power Trac, how can I have it

shipped to me?

Upon purchase of Power Trac equipment, the customer can pick up the equipment at our facility or you may have your order shipped to you via tractor trailer or private shipping company. A tractor trailer company may be less expensive, but you will need a loading dock or be able to pick up the equipment at the closest terminal. A private shipping company can bring it to your door and simply drive the machine off their trailer. All trailer packages (and some tractors) must be shipped by private carrier due to size. Call 1-800 THE YARD for a shipping quote.

What about sales tax on my order?

If a customer picks up equipment from our facility, Virginia state sales tax (5.3%) will be added to the total. If the equipment is shipped, the customer is responsible for paying the sales tax rate in their state. If you are tax exempt, please send a copy of your tax exempt certificate prior to your order.
