Found one good one that I like better. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/my-custom-post-hole-digger-stand.380685/

Someone a while back posted a photo of their storage for this implement. He reused an engine hoist and modified it to fit the auger attachment. Thought I'd saved it to reproduce but I cannot find it. Time to search here again!

Can anyone confirm if we can swap engines between 2500 series tractors? Can the engine from a 2555 be placed in the 2538 chassis? Asking for a friend... :thumbsup:

Not trying to add to the debate, just doing simple math per your statement. $200 x 25% = $50.00. $200 + $50 = $250, thus a 500 lb attachment that used to cost $200 is, in fact, a 25% increase, is it not?

Safety chains are never too long... just need to give them a few twists before hooking up to get the proper sag. ;) I put a 3/2 leveling kit on the Tundra. I got a nice set of OEM 20" alloy wheels to replace my 18" steel wheels for cheap. Once the stock tires are shot, I'll mount some...

Old golf cart canopy re-purposed for a tractor. Forgot to add to this thread...

I purchased steel rafters from R&R Ironworks in NC who shipped them to me. This is a representation of the exact rafters and what the building will look like completed. We're building this pole-barn style, 30'x40' Their trusses make it simple to build any structure with a large span and no...

Finally done. Hooks in place, toothbar complete and two holes in the bucket for my modified tee post driver.

Turns out the MIG handled it very well. My welding isn't spectacular but I'm betting these are not coming off any time in the next decade. I have to clean up, prime and paint it, then attach the teeth.

Hey all. TXHF here... That means Texas Hobby Farmer btw. In all the motorcycle/truck forums, people start a build thread for their machines, so I thought I'd start one here and consolidate everything about my tractor here. I joined this forum to gain knowledge after ordering my new 2017...

We are going to start with something like this and maybe close in the drive-through center later. Overall it will be 44' wide x 36' deep. The two 12' wide add-ons on each side will have concrete floors while the center will be just washed gravel. The center will be 20' wide. The guy quoted...

We picked up the tractor this morning and I put the canopy on out at the land. Fit like a glove! Very sturdy too. Doesn't hinder line of sight.

I don't even have the tractor yet and already have two DIYs. This was inspired by #Luke'sScreenName after reading his $40 canopy. I did not have as much material on hand as Luke did so I've got about $80 in mine. First, I took a chance and went to a local Golf cart place. They weren't just...

I know there's a guy who makes these in OK but It looks far too simple to spend $150 on one when I can do it for under $50 myself. I bought a 16 lb T post driver and had a 5/8" receiver pin handy. Some 2" x 1/4" flat steel and a piece of strut channel was laying around. I had to buy the...

What's you average hours per tank of fuel on the 2538? When I say hours, I mean working the tractor hard, say, digging a pond?
