Hello all:
I found this site looking for information on small garden tractors. I recently bought a used Craftsman GT tractor with 22HP Kohler and 6 speed hi-lo transmission. Along with the tractor I got a disc harrow, all-purpose plow, grading blade and box blade.
I have used "real" tractors and I don't want to expect too much from this little guy. I would appreciate any experiences about other useful attachments or implements. I am considering maybe getting a front plow blade but I'm not sure if if would be all that useful. I also found the implements to be quite heavy when trying to raise them with the blade handle so I fab'd a mounting plate and bought an electric sleeve from Northern Tool. MUCH more useful and easier to use, especially when smoothing out the driveway. For some reason Craftsman decided to design the lift with either up or down and virtually no way to feather the blade. This is the kind of information/experiences I am wondering about.
