What's your handyest attachment for your tractor?

Anonymous-0 · Jan 29, 2010

Hey folks, humor me. I'm at 24hours without sleep and have another 9 to go.
This is a wide open question because everyone does different things in different situations. I have 3.

3 1/2 x 5ft dumping container for the 3pt hitch (2 of them and scanning ebay for a 3rd) for hauling manure and anything else. Not my tractor and my containers are green, just an example.

Folding (easier to store) round bail fork (3pt hitch)

and my little wagon (the quad peeking on the left side gets a lot of summer use also)

Would a heated, air conditioned cab count? I dont have one, but it would be handy. lol. I guess my front end loader.

I like the fresh air in summer, but half my hay is stored 2 miles away across prolly the windiest stretch in the western world in winter. Wind seems to blow in my face no matter if I'm going or coming. I could call a cab handy..... I've got one with a windshield and also have batwing doors that I have to modify to fit my tractor. Prolly put that off til warm weather though :roll:

I would say the little button { the one that turns the engine over } hand crank is a nice BACK-UP ...
my NEWEST tractor is a 49 ...

Worksaver - otherwise known as a poor man"s fork lift attachment for the 3pt hitch. Made of angle iron, not that strong, lifts only as high as the 3pt hitch will go, but does a lot of lifting, carrying chores for me. Also have a 3pt hitch dirt carrier box, handy for carrying small loads of gravel, etc., and the cat"s meow for picking rocks

Loader with pallet forks

Toby Oats · Jan 29, 2010

All our tractors have been outfitted with the lastest rock pickin and hitchin technology. Made rock racks that have swingin doors and a shovel holder so you aint got to pick the big ones over the ledge, and also welded a hitch to the front to push things away. Its alot easiier to pushem a way than it is to back them in. I got to agree with Jay though, A cab sounds pretty nice. Toby.

Front end loader gets the most use on are place.That tractors always doing something.

Doug in Illinois · Jan 29, 2010

Not quite the same thing, but the 3 pt boom. Blade is the next handiest especially in the winter to move snow.

The cab is sure nice, need to find a door for it after I rolled it last summer. But that is NOT a true attachment. DOUG

WorkSaver Bale Hand. A bale grapple on the loader that squeezes the bale. I can stack them 4 high on end with it. Pick up bales with rotted or no string. I take the strings off in the barn out ot the weather,squeeze them and carry them to the feeder without loosing any hay,drop them in and don't have to get off and get among the cows to get the string off. Handy unit for moving things like duals and such around too.

FEL without a doubt, now that I have that always available 'second man'.

Before it was the carry-all on the 3 pt.

Probably not what you want to hear, but my best help is big spring loaded seat with arm rest from fork truck. Especially if your an old man. Dave

For me, its not a tractor at all but rather a couple of things that do the job better and lets me keep the tractor in the barn. For me, it would be the skid loader and the atv.
