A few more, I adapted the Vee blade to fit a SSQA. Modified my old 8' pull behind mower to 3 pt. with a hyd. adjusted tail wheel, and built the bucket for the SS. Right now I'm working on something to lift and drag logs out of the woods. I really can't justify the price of a 3pt. winch, and I'm thinking that this will do.

Rustyiron, very nice stuff, very nice work, I am so jealous! I wish I could do that.

Rustyiron, a couple questions:

The hyd tail wheel.....Is the linkage to keep the pivot pin in proper vertical alignment as you change heights?

The V-plow....Looks a tad oversize for the tractor...did you do it just because it was sitting there and you thought, hey why not?

I definitely like the crane arm & roof rake

Exactly

Yes, there is some "hey why not" involved, but it really works well if a heavy storm get's ahead of you, and beats the heck out of my straight blade in the deep stuff.

Thanks.:thumbsup:

Love that big V-Plow.
