While that flip screen is nice, you can build something out of expanded steel mesh pretty easily, use a small gas motor with a counterweight driven by pulleys/belt to shake the grate. Set on an angle so the larger bits fall off the back and the fines fall inside to be scooped out/used. I plan on this at some point, as I have four huge piles of mixed junk I'd love to filter the fines out to use as topsoil and level my yard with. The larger junk will be used as fill in low spots of my property, then covered with soil.

Or I could say screw it and just use the mixed junk as a berm near my driveway to prevent passers-by from looking up into my property from the road. I have neither the resources nor the time to be worrying about any of that right now though haha.

Edit: to follow the spirit of the thread, I could use 4x4. I buried my machine last year and it took me a while to crawl out. Didn't need assistance, but I was nearly up to the axle in mud, 2wd, loaded rears with cast weights. It was pretty stuck.

I added fill material to a hillside so I could get tractor to other side of property. Got stuck many times - lack welding skills - made this superwinch mount out of 10 3pt drawbars.

That's the first one of those I've ever seen.

Agree, one tractor per attachment. My next purchase will be a seed drill or cultipacker.

A SS mount bucket that dumps sideways, good for filling trenches or repairing washouts. I have never seen a SS version, only ones on large construction machine like a tracked CAT loader.

Oh, and a TREE SPADE.

IS GOOD! I like.

Would like to see some construction details so I can have my talented friends make me one.

Would be great for mixing that odd bit of concrete by hand and pouring it into a form too. ALSO, fill a dump trailer more evenly.



IF that don't get a guy excited!

Forestry winch, for sure.... Got everything else that I need!!!

Winch!
I live on the side of a forested mountain with rugged terrain and clay, soil which gets spongy when wet. Off limits to my tractor. So I need a winch to harvest standing dead & dead fall to my driveway that splits my 4 acres. I can chainsaw logs to manageable lengths in the woods. Once pulled to the driveway, I can use the tractor to carry logs to my firewood processing area to buck, split & stack.

I really encourage you to get one. I do not say that lightly because I am a make-do-kind-of-guy too. But I logged without a winch, and then with a winch, and there is no comparison. I will even say, that because of trying to get to every stump, of every tree, driving through brush, getting stuck, etc...you will pay for a winch by either buying one, or busting your tractor up not having one.

In logging with a tractor: a winch is about 75% of the set-up.

They have 100% traction
You can winch an idle saving tractor damage
You can winch trees 150 feet away
You can sneak trees between rocks, stumps and brush piles
You can winch up steep hillsides
You can winch-twitch...and if you get stuck...drive ahead up to 150 feet, and winch again
Winch yourself out of a stuck situation
You can double your line and winch twice as much as before
You can winch down leaned trees safely
You can pull trees around corners
It is much safer because you cannot roll your tractor over backwards (Kind of like having wheelie bars on your tractor).

You probably know all these, but it is my sincerest hope that you get the winch you are after. Best of luck (even if you have to buy your wife flowers every day for a month, and purchase (2) shoe-of-the month clubs, so you can then ask her for a winch for your tractor) LOL
