I tried to get one of these ratchet rakes because I have some areas where I want to rake out low brush but it was such a hassle trying to getting one from Tractor Supply I gave up. I tried to order one through my local tractor supply but they acted like I was crazy - they didn't know what it was. Then after they located one the shipping between stores was outrageous on it. I ran around with them for awhile - wasn't worth it, didn't like dealing with tractor supply at all.

Most experiences with TSC have not been positive for me. Put it on the list for when you are in a state that has it. It is one of my most useful implements and easiest to attach of all..

I have a thumb but a hydro thumb would be incredible! I also have the Pats and I love it. probably should have listed it with the QA and spacers.
Regarding the lift capacity, I read about that but doubt I will ever be able to tell. The 2920 will lift the 60" bucket full of gravel like its empty!

also the forks are a little pricy so you could get the QA and an extra bucket for 500 or so if I recall. my smaller bucket has a toothbar and my 60 does not.

I just ordered a Ratchet Rake from a TSC in Florida. They can ship it UPS since it is the smaller version. Not a big hassle at all. Should be here tomorrow, I hope.
Go direct and skip the TSC to TSC shipping.

How's that snowplow work? Do you bog down pushing that much snow? I've got a smaller b also and was thinking about having a friend fabricate something but was wondering if 6 ft was to wide.

I had a "B" series for 12 years. Just upgraded to a larger chassis/motor tractor; I jumped from my old 19HP B8200HST-D to a 40HP NH TC40D.
My B8200 was a great tractor, albeit a little underpowered for it's size. It is the same size as the newer B2910, B3200.
I never did add on auxillary front lighting, but that seems to be the worst thing about the "B" series. Those headlights were pitiful. Now, mine was an '85 manufacture, so maybe they fixed that by now?
The best thing I added to that tractor, was TnT. By and far, the best thing. My new tractor does not have it, and it is not in the immediate budget. I miss that!
If I were to walk out and get another "B" today, that would be the first two things to add. TnT, and front headlight that actually illuminate something.
