Pallet forks for your tractor

Jstpssng · May 1, 2020

Some of us have backhoes, but there are times that it would take longer to put it on than to get the job done using another tool. My normal implements to have on are the winch in winter, and the tiller or winch in summer. Anything else goes on just long enough for the task at hand.

Some of us NEVER take the BH off!
Just use a separate tractor for the 3pt tasks.

Must be nice! I've got more than 1 tractor, but still need to take the BH off. The BH lives in the barn on a dolly most of the time. I do use more than one tractor together to accomplish some tasks. Alternating implements helps the job go much faster than trying to get it done with one.

I took my BH off one day and just about flipped the tractor picking up something with loader. Scared me. Im in no rush to remove it again. I just wish my little B series kubota had 4 wd, would make it so much more useful.

If one NEVER buys new tractors, they can likely afford several used tractors.
If I were made of money, I would always buy new, but I ain't, so I don't!

I’ve dropped mine off the M59 a couple times to fit my into a space I couldn’t with it on but I’ve never put the 3 point arms on.

I use my backhoe so rarely that I couldn't justify having a dedicated tractor. It would be nice to have one specifically with my winch though... it's a real pain to take it off just so that I can till or mow for a couple of hours.

I had my previous Ford 3400 TLB for 33 years, and never put the 3pt arms on either.
The only time I took the hoe off was to spray paint, two years before I sold it.

If I had a wider mower I might use my M59 to bushhog but limited to a 5 foot mower and a non removable loader the L3800 does a lot better and cheaper job. I can’t say that I wouldn’t ever use the M59 to box blade with but again it’s easier to just use the L3800.

I do all that other stuff with my very sweet little restored Ford 1920.
Just the right play size for me.
