Better built implements

[Marveltone]

I knew it was a sham from the beginning.............

I call shenanigans!

I call shenanigans!

I've seen some cool things on here already. Hope more folks post theirs.

Does this count? - my home made land scape rake, powder coated, hydraulic controlled, rotates 360* with swivel offset. Completely home made from my CAD design, CNC plasma cutting of parts, new powder coat process.... yada, yada, yada.

Heck ya!!! :thumbsup: Forgot about that one!

 

[Gary Sweat]

Now that's nice work!

You made the front of a tractor to put behind your loader?? Wow - that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen!! OK - I'll bite...

Here is an "attachment" I made to hold my mailbox (about 10 years ago):

Still looks mean after all this time.

That would be an instant ball bat target around here....freaking teenagers...

You show me what you think are pretty cool home made attachments you built and I bet I'll beat ya all with what I just put together.

Were all here still waiting for you to trump our builds. It better be good!
I vote for the Godzilla Dragon, it's just too cool.

Well, I claim the prize for best value for pounds lifted for $$ spent versus pounds of implement to facilitate lifting.

$$ = 0.0, I scavenged some used axles/hubs from scrap laying around

implement weight = less than 20 lbs for the axles... maybe a little more if you count the non dedicated chains.

lift weight = 2800 lbs of concrete culvert turned into a corner post. This culvert cannot be otherwise lifted because FEL bucket or forks add so much weight that relief valve pops first. I have numerous of these culvert corner posts and use the implement several times a year as I place them for new fence corners or replace old wood ones.

Best corner I've ever found...never rot, pull out of the ground, rust, tip. Axle shafts fit into holes manufactured in the culvert explicitly for lifting.

A couple of mine.

Some nice stuff, but you got to do better before I show case something you'll all want to build

Maybe?

 

[J_J]

I am thinking you just want to see our stuff so you can get some ideas on what to build.
Show us what you got, and maybe I will pull out the show case.

 

[Piperflyer]

On what to build next....maybe J__J

 

[ljellio]

Maybe you could show examples of other implements you have created to show you are not just fishing and the group will be more inclined to show you the better stuff.

Ok, here's my home made attachment.

Nice, but how useful is it without any rear wheels ? :laughing:

It's a walk behind loader. Much more maneuverable.:laughing:

What a joke...

Quick set of front counter weights I put together. I use them when I'm brush hogging. Can be put on or off in 5 minutes.

That's the biggest fence post I ever seen.
