Got a SSQA weld on plate - build ideas?

[number9L]

Actually picked up 2 plates for my tractor at an auction today.

Gimmie some ideas what to build for them!!

I need some brush forks but don't like the idea of "wasting" a plate dedicated to be brush forks. But I do have 2, I guess. Thought about fixing a Quick Hitch on one of them to be able to use the carry all or any rear attachment on the front as well. Can't really think of anything I need on the front other than brush forks or pallet forks....

If you run some extra hydraulic lines up there with a valve, the sky's the limit. I have used the plates for a hydraulic post driver. It was made to mount to the front of a farm tractor, but I cut the arms off and welded to the plate.

Any farm implement can be modified to fit, like a grapple, post hole digger, etc. You might want to check prices on the forks. If you do not have a set of forks already, a fork setup that is already made to the plate is available fairly cheap at most tractor places. We then modified it with a receiver to accept a round bale spike to lift round bales of hay. Just slide the forks over and take them off and install the spike.

I have a quick hitch built on a ssqa plate I use it a bunch for all types of things from moving implements around when I am bush hogging , using a blade on the front and a boom pole for lifting and much more.

These pin style block forks will move brush or pallets. :thumbsup:

How about a boom pole?

I've about got the brush forks done. Just gotta weld them to the plate now. Man I'm glad I'd seen someone mention adding in roll back, cause I would have over looked that for sure!!

Really like the QH on SSQA idea.....

Gotta agree with figuring in some rollback, very easy to overlook!

The 3 point adapter that I bought has some roll back built into it.
