Grading/leveling: rock bucket w/ teeth vs box blade

KentT,
How does your box blade pull through the soil now with your larger wheel motors VS your original wheel motors?

Lets just say I can spin all 4 loaded tires... so, it'll pull all I can get traction to do. :thumbsup:


My original bar tires now have 600 hours on them, so they're worn down a bit...

I have a home made blade on the rear of my tractor but use Loader Buddy for everything else you described and then some.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...

Watch the videos. My kind of hammer!

the PT grapple bucket seems more useful for moving logs etc.

Lackendar Fabrication made my (and I think Kens) 3pt adapter. I should have thought the thing out and had a hydraulic PTO built into it.

But the thing has a hard top point and side points (nothing loose). Works quite well.

Glad you're happy with it.

I personally like my full set of tools -- grapple bucket for moving brush and logs, mini-hoe with thumb for digging or grubbing out saplings, light material bucket and rock bucket based on what kind of dirt work I need to do or haul, stump grinder that'll did shallow trenches, forks for moving about anything , landscape rake, boxblade, finish mower and rough-cut mower .... especially when I can change from one tool to another in 30 seconds or so, unless I need to disconnect hydraulic hoses. Then it takes over a minute...

I typically use one attachment to carry one or more additional ones to the jobsite, and switch back and forth frequently... combine that with the maneuverability and general quickness of the PT and it's easily twice as fast getting the job done as the Kubota it replaced...

I'll never go back to a CUT/SCUT...

In all seriousness, I doubt anyone with a Power Trac would purchase such an item when the grapple buckets are available from Power Trac at a very reasonable cost, already have the quick attach installed from the factory, and have a hydraulic grapple ready to secure those logs that are bouncing around in your video.
