    Tipping trailer suggestions.

    I would like a tipping trailer to go behind the tractor. Ideally I like to be able to fill it, tow it and dump with leaving the seat, I don't know if this is possible. I could build something similar to the one I built for someone else just not as big (see pic). I would put a remote control...

    Toothbar and forks

    I decided I wanted a toothbar and enquired about the piranha toothbar but shipping was hugely expensive so I decided I would just make one. I bought twin tiger teeth to get the best penetration force. Welded it up this morning. I also made a ladder rack (that's what we call them here...

    Cutting 4x8 sheets

    I make feed bins and sell them (here's a video for interests sake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsbhh21kvQM&feature=youtu.be) The root of the problem is that plywood comes in 4x8 sheets (or 1.2x2.4 as we call them) obviously I have to cut them and that's the problem. How to cut ply repeatably...

    Walking Dozer?

    I have this idea to make an 'attachment' to turn my two wheeled tractor into a mini tracked front end loader. Using 12v winches to operate the front end loader, and gas struts to hold the bucket down when picking up dirt etc (when the winch lifts it overrides the gas struts). And making the...

    Sulky and steering brakes...

    I am thinking of building a sulky. It would be solidly attached to the tractor, with swivel wheels on the back. The purpose of it is to pull a trailer. I have a couple of questions, one is it all right to use the steering brakes for 100% of the steering? and are 8 x 2in swivel wheels big enough...

    First of all sorry for being a pest and asking so many questions. So here I am pestering you again. Now I would like honest opinions on 12v actuators for use in a front end loader. Also the front end loader will probably go on the two wheeled tractor I know it sounds ridiculous but anyway. So...

    Build it yourself towable backhoe opinions

    I would "like" to build a towable backhoe. It needs to be able to dig clay/shale. I like the greenmachines one (see link) just more like the ground hawg (see link) in size. I think hydraulic rotation would be better though. Has anyone seen or have a clamshell bucket on a backhoe, I was thinking...

I rotary hoed it so it was loose then shoveled it into shape then rotary hoed it again to level it. We then put the pieces of concrete in...

    Tractor vs. Skid steer vs. Dozer

    I am not looking to buy a tractor but I think this is an interesting comparison for discussion. , If you wanted a 4in1 bucket, slasher, rotovator and post hole digger. And you wanted to be able to clear trees/brush up to 8" round in reasonable rough and rocky country. What would you get, Tractor...
