What are most sold implements for compact tractors

[HayDR]

AEM Industry figures say over 50% of compact tractors have FEL's. What about rotary cutters, finish mowers, tillers, box blades, etc? What does TBN viewers say?

I bought my tractor used with a FEL and backhoe. Next came my finish mower because I came across a real bargain. I then added a box blade with a rotary mower coming next. I'd guess the order for most to be FEL, rotary mower, box blade, finish mower then maybe tiller. I doubt my backhoe, which I wouldn't trade for anything after having one, wouldn't make the top five attachments. It might make the top five on a want list, though. For me, after having one, it'd be right after the FEL. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

EDIT: I also added a toothbar to the FEL around the same time as getting the box blade. I didn't think to mention it until I read someone else's post mentioning theirs. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

IMHO the most sold implement would have to be a rotary cutter.

This is an interesting question! I'd guess that's it's a mower, but not sure if it's a finish mower first or a bush hog. Rear blades are popular. I got those things in this order: finish mower (with tractor), rear blade, bush hog. FEL is hopefully next!

In order of need for my uses of equipment I have;
fel/w winch, Home installed
rotory cutter
tiller
finish mower
splitter, home made
rock rake
9" wood chipper
7 shank rear ripper-subsoiler
rear mounted logging winch, home made

Of course, depends on what the task is as to how bad I need anyone of these. I just know that I couldn't part with any of them.

Fel #1 for me..than follow by York rake w/the fold down grader blade.

Hi,

My bet would be on a mower of some type as the most sold implement for a compact tractor...

...and on the loader as the most <font color=blue> useful</font color=blue> implement! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

My purchases so far have been in this order:

Tractor, loader, backhoe, toothbar, pallet forks, 60" RFM [lust for 72" now]

Box blade
Sub soiler
Rear blade
Boom Pole

Carry all

Chains for rear tires

Coming next year [I Hope]

60 inch rotary cutter
post hole digger

Gee...that does not sound like enough for 2003! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Can anyone suggest something else? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
