I was working at the farm/hunting land over the last couple of days. Trying to catch up on a lot of little projects since I had been sidelined for a few weeks after knee surgery. As I moved from item to item I thought about the useful items I have on the tractor. Just having the little 30hp "bull dozer" is handy enough but a few additions help a lot, and most of the ideas I got from helpful folks on this forum. What minor additions have you added that really come in handy? Here are four of mine
1. Larger toolbox. This is a simple Plano tackle box I picked up at Home Depot or Academy sports. Drilled a couple of holes in the bottom and attached. Really great to have tools when you need them.
2. Better use of the small toolbox. The little box works great for small items like sunglasses, cell phones, etc. Word of caution = careful what part of bolt is left in the box after installation. The top of my bolts were just right to scratch the surface of my cell phone.
3. Tooth Bar on front end loader. I have so many projects that include moving limbs and stumps, or just moving soil. My box blade comes in handy but for simple items the tooth bar adds so much power to the dig. Also great to just touch the surface and moves limbs/stumps without too much top soil. Great addition.
4. Chain hooks. The previous owner had these installed when he first bought the tractor. I am so glad he did, as they were quite handy yesterday to pull old T posts from the ground, and to hook up an old shed for a move. Mine are on each arm, but some have one in the center of the bucket.
