Actually, the TroyBilt also has a shaft that the tines can be removed from
(it doesn't look like a tractor PTO, but is similar), and other attachments
used, but it's been so long since I've looked at the literature, I can't
remember what attachments they had -maybe a chipper shredder? With any
machinery, a really important feature, is whether you can get repair parts
locally, or quickly. One of the surest things about farming, is that
machinery breaks down - usually when you HAVE to have it. Whatever you
purchase, try to make it a brand that you can fix or get fixed quickly.
