I think i just need to convince my wife “patience is a virtue”… you can’t fight mother nature.

Because the garden is fenced in, so we are limited to the spot. My main concern is leveling the ground, but it seems the ag tires and wet soil isn’t gonna work. I even tried the box blade, but i guess there’s too many large craters that i need to fill them up somewhat before i can level them

Because i want to dig up the pavers for better drainage before setting cinder blocks back in.

My wife wants to rebuild our existing garden area. Existing setup: wooden raised beds sits on cement pavers that sits on clay soil. To make things worse, after 20 yrs of negligence, pavers have at least couple inches of sod grew on top of it and the pavers glue to the weed screen underneath it...

I just purchased the thumb and the 3rd function kit as mentioned by jbf43. Will see how it installs.

Does it need 3rd function valve or diverter is sufficient?

Does it need 3rd function valve or just diverter valve?

It seems i don’t even find a diverter valve kit on my tractor. Are they universal? Regarding the grapple, what is the cheap way to go? I’ve seen the add on for the existing bucket. Soes that work ok?

So i find myself in need of a grapple when i clear brush. I probably doesn’t need to curl the bucket and grab at the same time. Is the diverter valve kit and the grapple all i need? What is the benefits vs a 3rd function kit? The price doesnt seem to be too much more. In shopping a grapple, is...

Thanks, I will look for those type of plows, hopefully some rental yard has something similar. It is a bit spendy to purchase right now.

is there an attachment similar to the box blade’s scarifier that i can pull to rip shallow brush out? I noticed box blade usually has 3-4 tines. I am hoping for more closely spaced heavier duty tines than on the landscape rake.

i tried using the toothbar, but with the uneven ground, i kept digging into the ground instead of an even scrape over the surface. Maybe i just need more practice:)

i have a toothbar on my bucket, stump bucket. I have attached a few pic. Most volunteers are from holly, hazelnut and poplar variety. The numerous ferns are everywhere

I have a compact tractor that i am still getting familiar with. I have couple acres of an area filled by a dozen or so holly trees that i'm trying to clear. The trees will be chop down and worked on, but what i'm trying to also accomplish is to make the area more walkable. Right now, after years...

Can anyone recommend a stump bucket for a compact? I think the shorter length bucket would minimize risk of straining the fel? I read in other threads and someone said not push but pull with the stump bucket? What does that mean?
