Self made attachments

[kebo]

Well, since this is the ONLY attachment I've made so far, I consider it the "best"!!

This is the 3 that I use the most. The carryall or weightbox I use more the others just because I use it with the forks and loader bucket. The trailer has move alot of dirt in the last 7 years, but it sure seems small by the end of the day.

So far my newly made water buffalo to water our trees during dry winters will be my most used homemade implement. I'd rather wrestle with 20' feet of hose versus 300'+ of garden hose as I did in years past. Fully loaded, it weighs in around 1,400 pounds, and and my 3PH has a 1,700 pound rating.

I did a little modification to a big hydraulic powered Spring toothed harrow on wheels to suit my needs....it had been sitting for probably 20+ years when I was giving the thing.
I had to cut in to pieces to move it on my trailer.

The harrow doesn't look that big; is your trailer that small that you had to cut it apart and weld it back together?

I found it interesting that whoever made it used C-channel to fabricate 'square' tubing. I'm guessing they had a lot of channel on hand when it was made.

mjncad,

That is a great attachment. If I plant one more tree, I'm going to need one. I especially like the pallet fork slots and the tool tray.

Is the frame made from tubing?

That picture is after the mod.....it was about 4 foot wider and had hydraulic actuated axles and wheels.

Yes; but I would do it differently to minimize the grinding of welds to make sure the tank sits flat on the frame. Grinding welds sucks.

Thanks for the clarification.

Probably my favorite although not most used is the grapple:thumbsup:. SS QA and rear receiver hitch are the ones I use the most. Forks also; grapple connects to the forks.

Sorry about the snow in the pics; kind of depressing I know:laughing:
