FAVORITE IMPLEMENT: Post pics

[john_bud]

I love looking at pictures of tractor toys. Therefore, I am starting this thread so that everyone can contribute by posting a picture of their favorite implement. That way, we can have somewhere to look when we want to satisfy our tractor implement fetish!

I'll start. Since I really only have one implement I don't have much choice. Here is a photo of my Rhino Turbo 120 10' rotary cutter.

This is nice.... 36" wide and holds 8+ cu ft

Especially when it is attahed to this

My grapple bucket is probably my favorite addition to the tractor followed by pat's ez change and hydraulic rear toplink.

I just got a new bh with a hydraulic thumb but haven't had the time to use it yet.

Leeinmemphis: where did you get that thumb for the FEL?

M7040: where did you get yours?

I guess you are referring to my grapple bucket? It is made by vernig manufacturing. I ordered it through my kubota dealer last year. It has saved me SO much work that I can't even imagine how I would have gotten everything done. I don't hardly ever use my factory fel bucket.

Got the Tumb at ebay for 350 dollars. Installed on an angel iron 4 by 4 and welded it on the bucket then welded the base plate of the Tumb to the angel iron section. Then all you have to do is hook up the hoses and enjoy assuming you have the FEL third function. If not look at the many treads to learn how to do this.

Thanks Lee an Fritz for the info. Sorry to intrude into the thread.

This is an ex Kubota K420 42" tiller that I converted to a front mount. Works great.

I built this splitter after spending a year downrange dreaming about it. Works great, very fast and strong. PTO pump driven.

Mornin Ovrszd,
Beautiful job on that splitter !!! I bet that hydraulic oil never gets hot with a reservoir that big !

Grapple. Tremendous asset when clearing brush especially when combined with bush hog which is my second favorite. Bang for the buck is great for the grapple too so long as you stick with the perfectly capable light duty versions.

I love my box blade, however I do not have a picture of it. I will say that this ugly homemade subsoiler saved my back from digging a 140' trench for a lamp post. I hooks onto my 3pt trailer mover. Cost me $20 for the ripper (scrap was free).

IslandTractor--Not in a million years would I have guessed that you would've posted your grapple as your favorite implement!! Great photo. Love the wide angle viewpoint.

What a wide variety of implements. This is great. Discovering new uses for tractor and looking at great implement photos all at once.

Hands down favorite....

That is one nice looking splitter. What is the stroke? That orange paint really sets it off, nicely.

JRobyn,
Nice looking chipper. I'm new to looking at chippers, what brand is yours?

ovrszd,
That is an awesome looking splitter. I'm with WayneB, what are some of the specs on it?

O.M.G. that is the most insane log splitter i have ever seen! no wonder there isn't a tree in sight in yor pic, you've been busy haven't you?

 

[Glowplug]

ovrszd--I'd have to agree. That is one crazy "oversized" homemade custom log splitter. Almost looks like it's bigger than your tractor. Does your B2910 ever do a wheelie with a big log? The TBN bumper sticker is a nice touch.

In building my splitter I researched hydraulics and listened to the "experts" that said you need a gallon of reservoir for each gallon of GPM at the pump. I should have asked Mad. Since I used a 20 gpm pump, I used a 20 gallon tank. That was stupid!!!! I put 15 gallons of oil in it and it never gets warm to the touch let alone hot!!! The cylinder is a 24" stroke, 4.5" barrel with 2.5" ram. It strokes in about four seconds which I love. I have no means of weighing it so not sure about that. If you notice in the pic, I have a 125lb weight fastened to the front of the tractor, it needs it when operating in the timber. I built a three wheeled dolly that I park it on in the shop. Don't tell the Kubota guys on here, but,,,, the paint is Allis Chalmers Orange!!!! I did a write-up about it if you search. Thanks for the positive comments, I'm pretty proud of it.

 

[ovrszd]

Hands down favorite....

Okay, I admit it..... I am lusting for a Chipper!!!! Wish they weren't so darned expensive!!!! I burn wood in my shop so I create a lot of brush that could be chipped and used in flower beds or around lawn trees. I just can't get past that cost!!!! I'm jealous Robyn!!!

ovrszd,
That is one fantastic looking splitter. I only dream of having "a" splitter let alone having a monster like yours!! I've got stuff laying all over my woods just begging to be split up. Oh well, I will just have to keep dreaming.....
