If you still love it when it's 98°, you're scratching chiggers, and jumping over fire ant hills, you're a better man than I am.
When its that hot I jump in the pool or pond, as I said not many chiggers here, and the fire ants here are docile compared to the ones we had in Texas!

I need it to clear some old roadways and such in my woods, and also to be able to drive across a couple pond dams so I didn't want too big of a footprint.
And I still have to learn how to use that 4 in 1 bucket!!
I'm fairly new to tractors etc but......an old timer stopped by and the first thing he said was, you wanna sell your 4 in 1?

He also told me when I got it I would never take it off. Close, sometimes I must use the forks.

His best tip to me was, do not horse shoe the bottom edge. By that he meant when picking up something like a large rock, try to use the edges of the 4 in 1 vs picking it up in the middle.

He said my tractor could apply enough hydraulic pressure to bend the bottom edge, making the 4 in 1 almost useless.

That's advice from an old timer channeled thru a carolina noob.

Well I no longer have the 4n1, traded it off for a grapple which serves me much better.

I'd like to have a grapple but in my case, i move lots of dirt and gravel so a grapple alone wouldn't do it.....for me.

If i had to pick one it would be the 4 in 1.

Yeah, I dont move a lot of dirt or gravel, mostly logs , lumber, brush and stuff like that so the grapple is a better tool for me.
