Just curious. I think we're all "guilty" of thinking we need all sorts of attachments and implements. Did you ever buy any that you don't use much and now are thinking of selling, or wouldn't miss much if you didn't have them?

That's an easy one. The box blade. It's been a total waste and I'm giving it to my brother now that he's just bought a place. I've learned that I can do more with my loader bucket then I can with the box blade.

I have a small (4") DR 3 pt chipper, it works but is too slow to get much done. Would rather have this money in something else.

Each of my dozen or so has a specific use, and - whereas that use may be as little as once or twice a year - I wouldn't be without any of them. One thing I'd do different though; I thought gauge wheels on my landscape rake might be worth the optional investment. Waste of money. Between position control and draft control on the tractor, I found them to be completely unnecessary. They increased the price of the rake by 50%, money that I now realize could have been better spent elsewhere

Stump bucket. Worthless. I will be cutting it up to use its parts elsewhere.

Carry all has yet to be used since I bought it at auction. Although I do have "plans" to use it some day, maybe, if I have time. :rolleyes:
I haven't used my gauge wheels since I made the grader mod for the box blade.

Bought a big 73 inch grapple rake bucket over 2k$ ... It has never been used because I got a 4n1 bucket at the same time and find the 4n1 skid steer bucket will do everything i need with a loader...

I'm with Eddie, the box blade. I used it for one project and haven't moved it since. I could have used the FEL & landscape rake just as easily. I have used just the rake on other projects that I originally thought I needed a box blade for.

I bought the big Kubota ballast box. Filled it up and used it once. It seems if I have work enough to need the extra weight in the back, there is some other attachment that is also needed in the first flace. Wish I had that 300 bucks back.
