Hold my Beer! I Modded my TX25!

[Tractorowner7]

I thought it might be fun and useful to start a thread to showcase mods and tricks to making your TX25 an even better tractor. So, let's see 'em!

My Mods:
Started on a grill guard, haven't had time to finish it yet. But then I saw Summit saying they were going to release one so waiting to see what they come out with.
Installed a hydraulic top link. SOOO much better than fighting with a top link!
Added a Speeco quick hitch.
Got a Summit GX series grapple bucket. Makes you feel like a T-Rex.
Got a set of pallet forks. These spend the most time on my TX25.
Added a document hard case on the ROPS. That way I have easy access to the manuals and important info.
Added a stopper to the 3-point control lever, so it stops at a preset point.
Added Multi Seal to the tractor tires. Nobody likes a flat!
Added a Summit toolbox behind the seat.
Added an American flag!
Bought a heavy-duty storage rack to store my dirt bucket and grapple bucket on when not in use.
Added magnetic toolbox trays to the back seat and plate behind the seat. Then moved some of them to the Speeco after I got my Summit toolbox.
Made a 700lb rear counterweight.
Coming soon:
Backup camera. I am going to mount the camera to the ROPS and have it come on when the tractor is on so I can easily see what's going on behind me.
Inclinometer. Tells you how far your listing/tipping.
Bora wheel spacers. I have a very uneven, rocky, pitted woods and I don't like the idea of tipping over!

Mod'ed the seat mounting plate to get the seat back further.
I am 6' 3" tall and the seat just does not go back far enough for me. I unbolted the seat and drilled new mounting holes in the plate that are about 3" further back. Now it's much easier to get on and off. I used to avoid getting on or off from the loader stick side because it was too cramped. Now it's much easier to get on and off on that side now. Bonus is when I look down to see the e-brake I can actually see it!

Very cool!
I want to do that seat mod in my car.

Hey great initiative here! Those are some great additions to the tractor. Grill guard, hydraulic top link, all currently coming. Speeco quick hitch guy built a better one and it will be a summit accessory soon as well. We appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity.

I wish Bro-Tek would email me back.
Three days now….crickets.
Need some wheel spacers.

I’ve got the TYM 2515R.
Did a red metal tool box behind rear seat, just flipped the bracket upside down and bolted the tool box to it….looks great and matches the tractor, was able to remount the reflective triangle a bit left of center so I could still use the top link catch hook.
I like your hydraulic top link set up…..how are the controls set up?

I’m gonna get some magnetic side mirrors but I do like the idea of a back up camera but those things tend to get a bit wonky after a spell.

Got the B expanded tooth bar..wiring for a little rain before I go chiseling at the ground.
Got the heavy duty stump bucket I’m also waiting to play with once it rains.

Gonna fashion a PVC tube to hold a chain with hooks painted to match tractor.
Thinking of some bucket chain hooks and a single blade root ripper….lots of roots here.
Need to install my
LED light bar front and sides.

Need more pictures.
Surely, someone has done something unique and cool to their tractor by now. I'm delayed on the jobsite a bit longer but still have a plan to get a Summit when I return home. Needing some inspiration and ideas.
