Have any implement purchase regrets?

^^^ I'll try a search or six to find something. I just can't see digging a 12" trench for a piece of 3/4" conduit.

Edit ....

First search comes up at $700 +. Need more searches.

Perhaps you need an adapter to use your three point hitch ripper tooth on the bucket of your excavator?

^^ Thought about that. Will need to look at how it can be best done.

And then you may break it is doing heavy work too.......

The solution is a tractor for each important implement

The solution is TnT.

I'd still like a tractor dedicated for each implement I use, but the discussion is going in the wrong direction, we should be discussing strategies on how to get the other half ok with that

MMM. Waste of money, time, mid-pto kit, attach and remove for haying.

My SIL was looking at my back blade over the weekend that I paid too much for and only used a couple times (it didn't work for cleaning a ditch, needed downforce or heavy weight attached)..

I have written a number of times on just how to do this. You have to convince her it pays rather than costs to own equipment. Such as money saved by not paying out for work. Or equipment bought cheaply enough that it can be sold with a gain rather than loss. Toss in some assumed interest rates, give her some $$ from jobs done and pretty soon she's a partner in the effort. It works and is a great way to offer household security and to save for retirement.

It was tongue in cheek, but...

When your the one paying for everything anyhow, that logic does not apply....I cannot really complain, boss wanted zero, I have 2 But about 10 attachments....lol.....will be working on others later.

Sub Soiler. I bought it with the intent to rip trenches for laying cable or conduit, but I'm not sure it's the right tool. I've heard that narrow trenching buckets (4" or so) can be difficult to keep from getting dirt packed in them. Is there a single solid ripper tooth/claw for a BH?

Digging it, Perhaps a potato spade on the end of your sub soiler will allow for better results. I've used that with mine and it makes a much wider trench than just the ripper. Just a thought. Greg
