I just had the idea that someone should fab up a 3pt PTO-driven beer fridge.
Would just have to incorporate a PTO generator into a fridge.
Now THAT would be a useful attachment! :drink:

What wacky-yet-awesome tractor attachment would you like to see someone make?

I have a 12 volt cooler (Peltier Junction) in my truck that works GREAT. Beer will give you a belly, that depending on PTO control location, may not allow you to see it any more. THAT would mean warm beer!

The beer isn't what gives you a belly. It's all the snacks you eat while you drink the beer! :laughing:

I will do almost anything to find an alternative to having to use the PTO on my tractor if I can. I keep my bush hog on it all the time, and it's pure torture putting it back on after I take it off. Probably the thing that I hate doing more then anything else.

For electricity, spending a grand on a Honda generator was a no brainer. Might even be one of my smarter purchases!!!

I'd like to make some plastic flaps that convert my bush hog blades into fan blades, pumping downward. Then blow debris off my driveway with them. HDPE or polypropylene- flexible, durable, but they don't hurt the neighbor kids as much if they sling off.

I think you'd have to have some sizeable air intakes on the top of the 'hog, or the negative pressure would cause the blades to lift and contact the top housing.

They make engine driven refrigeration systems for boats. You could adapt this belt driven unit to be belt driven by a PTO shaft if you're so inclined.

Of course, this is a ridiculous experiment but hey, sometimes experimenting just because you can is worth every penny.... especially since beer would be involved! :drink:

We're still waiting for our flying cars, so maybe this is up that alley?

You are doing something wrong. My brush mower is the most difficult thing I have to connect and it still takes less than two minutes. I don't have ANYTHING that takes more than two minutes to connect/disconnect front or rear.

Just put a 3ph and FEL on the fridge. :drink:

My kid is old enough to work part time at McDonald's where TF is her self-driving car already. :confused3:

She's gonna be late for work because of some engineers not being on the ball?? :punch:

I'm not lettin' her use the tractor again! She spilled Coke into the seat buckle and now it won't latch. :(

Beer is food. Let's treat it with respect as such, shall we? :p
