Why does it stick out so far from the hitch?

So you can use your shins to find it in the dark obviously.

I hate when that happens!

Two homemade items here.

1st is a 3pt receiver hitch....simply a copy of one sold commercially. Quite useful to move anything in the way of a trailer/etc.

2nd is a something I did come up with to roll off field fence wire. Piece of 2" square tubing (to go in the the receiver hitch hole ), then a piece of flat plate , and a 3' piece of 2" pipe welded at a 90 to the plate to act as a "toilet paper holder" for the roll of wire.

To load a roll, I remove the top link of the blue hitch, and raise the lift arms as high as they will go, this puts the 2" pipe about 15 degree angle from the ground, slide the roll on, and tilt it forward, reattach the top link pin.

Worth building if you have a lot of field wire to install. I attach the start of the roll to a post, and simply drive down the line of posts. Throw a crow bar or piece of 3/4 pipe in the roll at some point to keep it from turning, and use the tractor to tension the wire ( very gently ! )

Later modification was a piece of 3/4" plywood on top the metal plate at the base of the roll..the roll would hang on those square corners of the metal plate, so I cut the plywood in about a 24" circle and screwed it to the plate. Solved that problem.

Sure wish I had one of those when I was doing my fence. Nice job!

It would make a place for your future ex-wife to stand on the 2 inch tube and hold the fence roll while you drive as fast as you can through the pasture. You wouldn't want that roll of fence to bounce around too much and get dented.

Here's a simple set of forks that I made for my BX25. Only used them a few times so far. Plan on using heavier angle next time I set this idea up.

I've steadily worked, weather permitting, on the mods for my yard/pine needle rake. I added tines to get the spacing to every 3 inches and built a 3pt hitch so I could raise it higher to get it out of the pile of needles I just raked.


1., 2., & 3. 3pt hitch I made
4. & 5. rake on tractor
6. &. 7. before raking
8. some raking done
9. pile of pine needles 10ft in diameter and 3ft high. About halfway done on this side of house. I have a pile similar in size on the other side of the house.
10. after raking

A set of real forks with quick attach so you can swap between them and bucket is SO handy, I can't imagine being without them. I use my forks probably 5:1 over the bucket. Once you have a set, you'll start putting EVERYTHING on pallets or finding new ways to use the forks.
