Skid Steer 3 Point Adapter - Top Dog Attachments

📘 Overview

The skid steer 3 point adapter from Top Dog Attachments lets a universal quick-attach skid steer run Category 1 and Category 2 three-point implements, bridging skid-steer loaders to the tractor three-point world. It is built on a 5/16" Grade 50 mounting plate with a 3" x 3" x 3/16" tube and 5/8" Grade 50 link plates, measuring 18.25" overall width, 19.75" overall height and 8" deep. There is a single configuration (part 9033280) that covers both Cat 1 and Cat 2 implements; the skid-steer side uses a universal quick-attach mount.

⚙ Key Features of the 3 Point Adapter

• Cat 1 and Cat 2 compatible — A single adapter accepts both Category 1 and Category 2 three-point implements, covering the common compact and utility tractor implement range.
• 5/16" Grade 50 mounting plate — The skid-steer-side plate is 5/16" Grade 50 steel for a rigid, long-lasting quick-attach interface.
• 5/8" Grade 50 link plates — The lower link plates are 5/8" Grade 50 steel to carry the leverage loads that three-point implements apply.
• 3" x 3" x 3/16" tube frame — Structural tube ties the plate and links together into a stiff frame that resists twist under offset implement loads.

🔑 Why Choose the Skid Steer 3 Point Adapter?

• Use tractor implements on a skid steer — The adapter opens up the large Category 1 and Category 2 three-point implement catalog to any universal quick-attach skid steer.
• Grade 50 throughout the load path — Grade 50 steel in the plate and 5/8" link plates keeps the highest-stress components stiff and durable.
• Compact 8" depth — An 8" mounting depth keeps three-point implements manageable close to the machine.
