No fel no problem

[Wvminer]

Didn't know where to post this. So my dream of getting a compact utility tractor with an fel might not come this year. But I might still be able to get a 30 +or- 2wd I'm looking at. So I am looking for some tips on what 3 pt attachments I should get to make like a lil easier on a small farm. I will be mostly using it for firewood, snow removal, some digging in driveway, brush hogging,and other utility uses. So what do you guys suggest?

Thanks, sam

1st-Rotary mower,box blade,boom pole
2nd-tiller,trailer or carry-all,loaded tires on a 2wd

A grader blade can be used in place of a box blade for some things. Box blade is way better in dirt, the grader blade is better in snow

If that's your order of importance and you don't get a FEL
3 PT pallet forks
Blade
Box Blade
Rotary cutter

In my view a "carryall" is much more useful than pallet forks for moving firewood and lots of other things. The forks may work well if you have the ability to set up a pallet system for storing the wood, but I don't on either end.

An angle blade is useful both for snow removal and driveway grading.

A rotary cutter is essential for rough mowing.

Don't forget a 3 point ...Dirt Scoop...that works for scooping not just dirt but firewood, bricks , rocks etc...then move it and dump it...like a small FEL...

just bite the bullet and get the FEL ... you won't regret it.....

waited way too long , could never justify it ... finally built one and mentally kick myself ( why didn't you do this earlier dummy ) each time I use it....

And with my pallet forks I've a box on a pallet which functions as a carry all.

Plus you can carry other stuff.

Sorry for the rotated picture but the blasted upload software is doing it.

Are those cotter keys/hair pin clips strong enough to use on the lower lift pins?



I have lynch pins/linch pins on the lower arms, and just yesterday I drilled-out the hole in the pin on the top link so i could switch from a cotter key to a lynch pin there.

No FEL, no 4X4... BIG PROBLEM. Both are must haves IMHO.
