Best non-implement accessories for tractor?

Three point carry all.
There are dozens of previous posts, either make or buy. Incredibly useful.

Hey thanks mine has that to. Never knew what it was for, go figure

mine has a place on the lift arms to stick them, a little piece of tube welded on. I even did that to my old ford, welded on some tube to just stick them into.....

I do a lot of trail maintenance and some Florida jungle clearing.

I keep a long-handled lopper on my tractor.

I agree with Piston - have a big 'ol suicide knob on the steering wheel.

For me it's a fire extinguisher. I want to at least have a fighting chance to save my tractor if it decides to light up.

I prefer good insurance as a non-implement accessory. A rebuilt burned tractor is never as good as taking the insurance money and buying a new one.

I've been trying to get information on that from my carrier (Progressive) but they don't cover tractors as a specific policy and getting the umbrella guys to answer the phone has been impossible. But otherwise I've loved them for car & bike insurance. Haven't had to use them for mobile home other than just paying.

Not hijacking this thread but to steer you in the right direction this was a comment I had on another post that might help you:

The problem with the homeowner's policy route is that it doesn't cover damage to the tractor from the use of it, like if you roll it over. If you crash it into your house and the house were to fall on it, the house would be covered for damage but the tractor wouldn't be. Bottom line, be careful if you're relying on your homeowners policy and understand what is and isn't covered.

I called around to several companies about inland marine policies but the best I found was a "personal articles" policy through State Farm. I could insure the full value of the tractor (roughly $40k) with a ZERO deductible for just under $500/yr. With a $500 deductible it dropped to about $375/yr. The personal articles policy is similar to "scheduling" items on a homeowners policy. You can put just about anything you want on the policy....jewelery, coin collections, guns, artwork....you name it and they will probably insure it. I plan on adding a couple of my more expensive implements to the policy when I get them too, a snowblower and a grapple. A very flexible type of policy.

This policy doesn't have a liability component though but if your current homeowner's will extend liability then it sounds like you don't need more. If you do need liability then you can cover liability and the tractor with an Inland Marine policy.
