A good grease gun.
Torque wrench to check the wheels.
Small hammer and a spare bolt to help drive the pins for folding the ROPS.

"Really, just kinda nervous about the FEL with 53" bucket to keep a 1/3 mile long asphalt driveway clear of snow in the winter. I'm sure it will work, but wondering if an additional rear blade may not be a wise buy as well."


I find the 61 inch bucket does a pretty good job. I just tilt the cutting edge up about an inch and put it in float mode.

18 mm socket. Most sets don't have this size and it comes in handy alot.
Have fun you'll love it.

Hiya,

It's not a tool suggestion but it does give you an excuse to go to the hardware store.

Go and get a piece of no slip stair tread tape, the kind that's like coarse black sandpaper on one side and sticks like crazy on the other and put it on top of the left side loader arm just forward of the mast so when you get on or off the tractor, your hand won't slip.

You will thank me for this every time you get on or off the tractor in wet or snowy conditions.

Tom

I've got 2 5-Gal diesel jugs I've been shuffling with my loaner tractor. So that's covered.

Also the dealer will be welding on hooks on the bucket. That should be covered.

Moving a lot of snow with a bucket is a PITA. I prefer a snowblower. All depends on how much snow you typically deal with.

as one guy metioned - remember float mode and ya may want to invest in some chains...chains will tranform your tractor into a snow mach.

If you want front chains, you will need the front wheel spacers which based on price I believe are actually made of solid gold that has been cleverly painted black.

If you use the PTO a lot, a hammer and a very large screwderiver and WD40. I have a hard time sliding the the coupler on the PTO shaft, that's when the large screwdriver, hammer and WD40 come in. I just pound on the coupler enough to get it on the shaft properly.

Everything else mentioned above is good.
