Well, I don't know if chain rightly qualifies as an attachment or not, but it goes on the back of the tractor and it enables you to get work done.
I bought some logging chain I'd never heard of before from Labonville a while back and just got to use it. It's made in Austria and it's 3/8" alloy grade 100, with over 9000 lbs working load, the strongest stuff they have. But the really interesting thing about it is that the outside of each link is square, not round. Talk about biting into a log when you drag it - this stuff grips! I bought several 10' lengths and put a choker hook on each end, then used a grab ring to pull it by the middle. Then I was able to pull two bunches at the same time. But, as I say, I was really impressed with how much better it works than the normal round chain.
