Most Used Attachment

[trook]

We have seen the thread that talks about the least used attachments. Now, lets talk about our most used attachments. I'll list mine in order:

1. MX-6 Bush Hog
2. 400X FEL
3: 6ft Frontier Box Blade
4. 7ft Frontier Disc

I've been thinking about adding a:
1. Thumb for the FEL
2. Cultipacker for food plots
3. 6ft King Kutter Tiller
4. Frontier or King Kutter Landscape Rake

How about the rest of you???

I only have one "real" attachment, the Woods mower. I treat my toothbar as one because it comes on and off quite a bit depending on what I'm doing with the FEL.

I look through TSC and Northern Tools catalogs like I used to look through the Sears Big Book as a kid, dreaming...

If FEL counts as an attachment, then my FEL is by far my most used attachment. I have displaced wheel barrow, floor jack, ladder, shovel, snowblower, pitchfork and hose with the loader. Seldom do I ever start the tractor without using the loader for something.

My rear blade would count as the most used 3 pt. attachment. This takes into account that from October through April it's the only thing I have on the tractor due to snow removal. In the summer I use it occasionally too for corral cleaning and driveway maintenance.

My most used summer attachment would be a toss up between brush mower and tiller. This year I'm using both more than usual as we have had record rainfalls and many neighboors have weeds taller than they are equipped to deal with. Additionally, I am in the process of renovating pasture; so I'm tilling often in conjunction with spraying to knock down weeds before planting this fall.

I would have to say my 7' TSC landscape rake 1st. Although I was dumb buying it for what I thought to be using it for (thought I could use it for "raking" leaves up , but when I found out what it really was used for like maintaining my driveway, WOW ). Also used it to handle the washed out road in front of our house.
2nd Would be the 7' rear blade I borrow from a cousin to remove snow in the winter.
3rd Would be the 6' used disk (TSC brand) I just purchased this evening.

[deere755]

Most definately my disk is used most of all. Second would be my bush hog. The least is my tiller, so much so I am thinking about selling it.

 

[Runner]

For me it's:

1. rear finish mower
2. pallet forks
3. rotary cutter
4. loader bucket
5. three-point/loader-mounted trailer hitch
6. rear blade
7. box blade


I'm just finishing up building my carryall, and I expect it to be tied for the loader bucket for fourth place when it's done and in use.
