Yeeehaww you got that there vermin.... I learned the hard way that lake surfaces refract light and it messes with your aim trying to get one like that many moons ago. Wait I'm supposed to be talking about home made attachments.... Does my cup holder zip tied to the ROPS count?

Zip tie?

They say you only need two things to fix anything duct tape and WD-40
"if it is moving and it shouldn't be use duct tape if it isn't moving and it should be use WD-40"

Actually, there are four things. The other two:
1. JB Weld for things that are leaking that shouldn't
2. Baling wire for stuff that needs to move a little, but not too much.

Just finished up a rock bucket Hope the frost is gone soon.

Clever rock bucket design, makes it possible to build one without expensive plasmas/etc. and just a simple bender! I might try that this year, how much solid rod did you end up using?

I bought 5 20' pieces and have 8 'left over. $45 ea Spacing is about 2" Used 1" hot rolled (I think it was hot rolled . The cheaper of the 2, hot or cold rolled) Bought the skid steer plate for $100. Used 2x 4 tube for framework and 3/8 plate for the sides. I tacked it all together nd had a welder get it solid as I doesn't have a big enough welder.
Whole thing was $550.
Each of the bars took close to 200 pumps on the manual hydraulic bender.
The welder suggested a last piece welded under the front plate on the bottom for more support.
Last thing the bucket front is 2 pieces a 4" wide and a 1" wide to form a lip

Up here the thinking is that on Feb 1st you better have half your hay and half your wood left because winter is only half over. Sometimes i'm jealous about you guys that might have spring in six weeks on the say of a ground hog.

If I have enough hay to get through March, I'm usually OK till around November.
