PTO equipment

[sherpa]

These are all great ideals! I should have given more info. I live in the Pisgah Nat Forest (mountains). I don't have much of a yard, so I have very little grass and a weed whacker has to be used. I own 5.5 acres and border the USFS so I have another 150,000 acres to play on. I do heat with wood which I have access to plenty of free firewood here in the forest. I split all my firewood by hand (fiskars splitting ax) so I don't need a 3 point log splitter. I like the sprayer idea. My 25hp boomer is a TLB and the NH 33hp tractor has nothing on it so it is mostly used for everything and attachments. I will go back and read your suggestions again. Thanks!

Sounds like a Logging Winch would work for you!!!

I actually thought about a Logging Winch. Living here in the forest makes getting firewood easy, trees are always falling into or near the forest roads making firewood harvesting easy. There have been times that a winch would have been helpful but I get plenty of hardwood easy.

PTO powered generator for when one of those trees takes out the power line.

My most used "attachment" isn't PTO powered, but rather the front loader/bucket/fork.

Some people also find a grapple handy. I've got a big one I'll be working on soon.

Logging Winch/Skidder would be a great idea since you work a lot of wood.

K5LWQ, you are correct about the trees and power lines! We have a lot of outages. I have that covered with a 5000 watt Generac generator. We have also learned to live 5 or 6 hours without power.

My property is mostly forest. I have a flail mower for those areas that are not.

My next PTO powered implement would be a chipper.

If I had money burning a hole in my pocket, maybe a tiller.

If you can not think of a need right now - don't spend right now. Sooner or later it will come to you.

I have an 80 acre pine forest. Every other year or so - I thin my young pine stands. Due to wildfire concerns - burning would only be a winter time activity. I thin & chip in the spring. When its relatively cool.

My only PTO implement - Wallenstein BX62S - chipper. Used to chip those pines that are cut out.

The remainder of my implements are not PTO driven. Loader, grapple, bucket, LPGS, ROBB, moldboard plow, disk harrow & rear blade.
