I still have LOTS of stuff I'd like to modify or add, but I'd have to say the one item I use more than any other --especially this winter!-- would be the M-F 2360 front-mount snowblower.

(Finally finished cleaning up Friday's 14" storm yesterday; now have another 2"+ of "flurries" on the ground and it's still coming down....)

Second-best mod would be the addition of a second engine block ground cable; tractor is still starting as though it just got a new battery.:thumbsup:

A little late and probably a repeat but my Shackle Mounts on the FEL instead of Hooks has my best add-on to date.
With Shackle Mounts I can use shackles of course, hooks of any type with one bolt mount or any type of Utility Tool that hooks up with the one bolt setup as a shackle.
I made up a two to one chain cling for a center pickup instead of using a center mount on the bucket, this helps balance the load some.

My only problem is the size of the Shackle Mounts, a little bigger than I wanted but they will carry all or any weight I add to my little tractor (SC2450).

Single best mod I made was converting to skidsteer style quick attach.

:thumbsup: ... Then add:
Tilt-Tatch Attachment - Bobcat Company.
For the larger cuts. It is the lightest of them, made from hi strength steels ... but still weighs about 300#. It stands up to the 7520 and provides so many benefits I cant justify removing it even with weight penalty.:cloud9:

Brush/root grapple. Even with the fit problems I had with mine when I got it, it has still been an amazing tool for working with brush, firewood, logs, etc

Grapple grapple grapple. can't say it enough

I'll have to get you some pix, but I "frenched" in a 2" trailer reciever tube into the top of my loader bucket. That way I could put in a hook, ball hitch, pintle hitch, bale spear, you name it without changing the bucket or attachments.

Turf tires.... No grooving necessary.

Since my tire groover is still on its way to me, I'd have to say my best, most productive overall modification to the tractor is the added hydraulics. The three spool valve I added has opened the door to many more capabilities, like : top and tilt, remote rake swivel, snowblower chute rotation, tree shear (oops, havent built that one yet).
