Most Useful Minor Additions to Tractor

RSKY · Apr 1, 2016

I may have put this in here before but the best and cheapest addition to my Kioti was four wire ties on my roll bar. They are positioned so they stick up about 4" spaced 4" apart. This keeps birds from landing on the rollbar and sh--ting on my seat.

Got tired of cleaning it off every single time I wanted to use the tractor.

I will add a picture later it you don't understand the concept.

I always raise my seats. Here in Mo in the summer time you can get a sun tan on your bottom side right thru your pants if you don't.

The most appreciated small change to the Hurlimann was to change the open station "convenience outlet" to accept the plug for my heated vest. OOOOH! Warmth were it's needed.

Most boats around here have a "Gull Sweep."

Hmmmm - never thought of anything like that. Sounds like a worth while addition for sure.

A log chain carrier made of 4" PVC pipe with a cleanout screw in lid on top.

A larger toolbox mounted above the fuel tank.

Bolt on bucket hooks.

Velcro mounted clock.

Individually bolted on forks mounted to bucket lip. Very useful.

Paint a stripe of paint on the rear tires:

- You can easily see where the air valve is so you can check air pressure (no water in the air pressure gauge) - you can do this for the front tires as well.

- You can use the rear tires as a rough distance measurement tool. For instance, my rear tires are about 45" tall, making two revolutions just under 22 feet; in other words ideal for tree planting distances.

Great idea man. A stroke of genius.

No sarcasm intended. We have to mow some CRP land in 60 foot lanes and it is hard to gauge the distance without stepping it off.

Why hadn't I thought of that.

I can picture myself driving across the field on my little Kioti with that thing spinning. Reminds me of a movie I once saw where the family bought a small windmill and took it home mounted on top of their car.
