This tractor thing is addicting, need some guidance on implements

[millsan1]

Your tractor might not be strong enough to make any difference, but any box blade that doesn't have reinforcement on the hitch pins is junk.

I hear ya, but I don't think Britney has it in her to bust the implement, but if she does, I get to make use of my other new toy, a mig welder.

I have logs to move. In my mind, easiest way to do that is with a boom and tongs. And when I say logs to move, I refer to dozens of trees up to half a mile.

Carrying the logs in FEL doesn't work for me. Not sure how I would use BH for log moving.

Boom poles are for lifting, not pulling. Lifting logs as rated, no problem. Pulling logs not so good. The boom pole is connected high above the drawbar. There's a very high risk of lifting the tractor's front off the ground. Do that on even a small side slope, and a good chance of a rollover. There's several threads on TBN about it. Here's one from 2003. Good reading.

Anyhow, nice tractor and good list of implements. Be safe and enjoy. :thumbsup:

Yrp, this one is sized for a SCUT

Description says for compact, doesn't mention sub compact. I know Everything Attachments makes one specifically for SCUTS, may want to check them out too.

My box blade had reinforcements on the pins and I still bent them. I welded a 1/4 plate across the top. While I has at it I added a bar across the back to weld a chain hook on.

I too am addicted! I got all land pride implements from my dealer. The main reason was that my dealer delivered them and made sure I could put on, use, and take off before leaving. Being a Newbie, it was worth the extra coin. The other reason is quality products and Kubota orange. Got the Grapple and 48 inch box blade with the BX25D last year, this year I got the post hole digger and tiller. My Father's day present arrived yesterday, a BXpanded piranha tooth bar and underarmor. Like I said, I got the addiction bad not sure if it is addiction like drugs or ****???

Depends on if you're a looker or a user.
