My stable of attachments

[Steve_Miller]

Was getting ready for the winter months while it is still pleasant out and decided to take a fews shots of my implements I've purchased or built.
Front Blade I built and added to several times throughout the years and just converted to my QD on this tractor.
Side wing I built several years ago just modified for this tractor.
Front fork attachment I just built two weeks ago.
Snowblower I picked up two months ago (five foot).Sold my old four foot a week ago, too small for the 30.
Wagon I built 15 years ago has a hydraulic dump. This was one of my first hydraulic projects, I had a little over kill on the cylinder size as I had had over two ton and it would still dump at idle (3 1/2" cylinder)
Got the QD bucket when I got the QD with this tractor.
Grapple/root rake I built a year and a half ago and have had to reinforce several times since I've adapted it to QD for this tractor. It was fine on the old CK20 but the CK30 has way more power and I have bent, broke and twisted several pieces including the cylinder which I bent to about 45 degrees. Had to throw that one away and get a new one.

I like the wing plow. Reminds me of when I grew up in Maine. A huge dumptruck would come down our secondary road with a curved shape front plow and a wing plow hanging off the side of the rig. If he was going fast enough, the snow would be thrown 20' off from the wing blade.

Do you have a barn to put all these in? If not, you need to get going on building one soon.

Nice stuff. You look prepared for a handful of 3-4ft snowstorms.

What are the two right angle ports (?) on your front mounted hydraulic lines?

How did you damage your grapple? I kinda doubt it was lifting as the KL130 is not all that much stronger than the KL120.

Nice arsenal of tools!

IT-They are adjustable inline flow restrictors, so the cylinder on the grapple won't move to fast. I had them on the FEL snowplow I built to slow the angle down.

Brute force and a little abuse, well maybe a lot of abuse.

Hey, where's your big 'ol jet airliner??

 

[Grrrr]

Nice looking kit

The wing plow is cool. Nicely done.

I think you will be on top of your snowfall this year

I built the wing a few years (about 10) back after going of the driveway several times trying to cut back with the snowblower. Almost tipped over the last time so this was the result of that adventure. It also allows me to plow forward just about all time now as I can keep the snow pushed back for the next storm, thus never having to ride backwards getting a stiff neck with the blower. Don't ask me why I have the wing on the wrong side as I can't remember why I did this, no, it wasn't to get a contract on the double highways plowing the left hand lane either.
