Each to there own , But I beg to differ. Depends on Your needs . I have a fell on both my tractors . but while digging a small pond in rather sandy soil . I used the
fel to build the ramp . but the box blade to drag out the bottom sandy soil.
Sure I can dig it & pick it up with the
fel. But it just burys the tractor & I have to dump it & push myself back out. Because the angle going up a 6 foot fairly steep ramp is imposable with that much weight on the front. without digging in. I can take it out a few inches at a time using the box blade & go up the ramp because I,m only dragging the same amount of dirt , Thus not digging in .
Also dragging with the rippers is far less harder on the tractor then using the tooth bar at an extreme angle.
So What works for one doesn,t work for everyone. I just do what I have to do to get the job done with what I have.
