Cool or Rare Attachments

[deere4320]

Hi All,
This is just a thread to post all of you cool or rare attachments and explain them (if needed). Any attachment that you find interesting!

How about an ice cream maker? Oh, you meant attachments that exist...

Someone must have something 'off the wall'!?!?

A JD 232 aerator. A couple of JD dealers had no idea it existed when I went looking for replacement spoons.

And a homemade log carrier.

The aerator is awesome, where did you find it?

I like that log carrier....
what is the biggest log you have moved with it?

Here is a road grader attatchment for a Ford 8N. The front wheels are moved to the front of the grader and it bolts to the front and back axles.

It was a "local pick-up only" in downtown San Francisco. The seller didn't know what it was but had it listed in the "Industrial" area of eBay.

My automatic eBay search for local equipment picked it up. I was the only bidder at $50. Lucky.

Those are the light-duty tongs in the photo. It has been used for a 30', 18" diameter (at the base) tree with no problem.

A larger set of tongs has lifted an 10', 30" log with plenty of ballast in the rear. The chainsaw's 28" bar would not go through on one pass so 30" is a guess.

It sure saves the back when the logs can be held at waist level and sawed into rounds.

It is handy for loading and unloading a trailer with fixed sides from the rear as well. No more dropping the logs from the side with the forklift attachment and hoping for the best.

That road grader attachment was so cool. Thanks:thumbsup:

only "unusual" implement we have is the remenants of a wood framed beaver slide. ran off a pto winch setup on the back of a 40s IH pickup.winch line runs to the top over a pulley and down to the forks. run the winch in it powers the forks up the inclined frame and dumps into the stack. let the clutch in to let the line back out and the forks decend. if i had a scanner id post pics of it in use back in the 50s of my grandather and greatgrand father putting up loose hay.

I saw that once about 54 years ago but it was a small tractor going backwards and forwards to lift the forks.

there is still a few in use out west in montana wyoming and such up in the high country :thumbsup:

Interesting I had to search on it as I have never even heard of a beaver slide. Is this what you are talking about?

 

[1950T]

that be it.

There was a Youtube video of a guy with a Willys jeep that ran an ice cream maker off the PTO (couldn't find it). He had built a platform attached to the bumper and put a pulley on the PTO and on the ice cream maker. While I was searching for it, I came across a note about a guy with an antique tractor who did the same thing and made ice cream during parade drives.

So I think an ice cream maker is an attachment. I may just have to try that...

Chain harrows aren't rare - or even unusual. But I think the way I have mine set up possibly makes it one of a kind. I purchased four 4'x4' heavy duty (5/8") tine sections and an 8' pull bar, then connected them into the 8'x8' configuration you see in the photo. I next added three sides to the pull bar, used sections of 1.5" drilling pipe. Finally I fabricated a six foot removable extension to my boom pole to lift the whole thing.

P.S. it's for sale by the way, for anybody that's interested.

Thats a great idea!!!:thumbsup: It's 10x better than having to drag that thing on the ground back to the barn

Since you guys mentioned the ice cream maker I will post a picture. I took this about a year ago in Northern Maine. The tractor is an old Farmall F-12 and the ice cream maker is truely PTO driven.
