Thanks again Travis. It's good to know I've got some options there.

Yea, if you work your tractor like Ted, there's a chance that you'll get to see it's belly!!
Both he and the tractor were OK.

Ack! I think I'll stick with my more cautious style of operation. Glad Ted and the tractor were okay

In theory a rock bucket should still be usable but I've just not seen anyone
mention using one on a CT225/7TL, or for that matter a grapple, which has me concerned that their
usefulness will be limited on this smaller loader/tractor

I have essentially the same tractor, but the Kioti FEL instead of your Rhino.

If you are concerned about the weight and capacity of a rock bkt, grapple, or even a 4-in-1, then
I would say, don't be. As long is you don't get a too-large too-heavy attachment.

My 4-in-1 is super-useful, tho my rock lifting is often limited by the jaw opening. I have moved
many many 500+ pounders, as well as log sections of similar weight. I only go up a few
inches off the ground, usually.

Before I bought and installed my light-duty WRLong unit, I was also skeptical of heavy implements
on the FEL. Until I got my Kubota B21. That CUT had a much heavier 4-in-1 on it and the
tractor was more than 1000# lighter. It was VERY useful, despite losing half of the full-height
lift capacity to it's 500# 4-in-1.

That's great. Thanks for the feedback.
