Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference. Nicely done!
What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

Did this several days ago, Haven't really used them to hook anything else up yet but I'm sure it will be much easier now. Boxblade was already on the tractor so I just swapped them out one at a time.
I didn't really want to add "Pat's" as they add about 4-5" of length, then the hydraulic top link I have would effectively be too short.
The Brush hog PTO shaft would have been ok, but not the tiller, it has a really short PTO shaft that I had to cut down to make it fit.

Telescopic links are just great, such a simple, useful feature.

So you switched to extendable 3 point arms ? I wasn’t aware that the smaller LS tractors were not equipped with extendable links from the factory. Yes they can be very helpful when hooking up 3 point equipment.

With the proliferation of Quick Hitches you're seeing less and less standard telescopic links.
They're still an option for most tractors, but they'll be just that, an option.

Added Euro Hooks to my tractor, Euro Hooks are standard equipment in some other countries but unfortunately not the USA .

Adding euro three point hooks
Been wanting to add these for several years and finally doing it. Ordered the weld on hooks and an assortment of balls from Fit-right hydraulics. I have some class 1 and 2 as well as some nonstandard implements so decided on these. Ordering from Brian was quick and the hooks showed up well...

Euro hooks are the best, at least looking on from these envious eyes; I didn't know of them when I ordered my Pat's or I'd have likely gone that route.

They are actually cheaper than Parts and work 100 times better.

One day I'll make the switch; the biggest hurdle will be getting the ends welded on.

I finally finished expanding my driveway and putting in a rock retaining wall. It started as this.
It ended as this.
If you zoom into the middle picture you can see a shovel leaning against the wall for scale.
The rocks used in the wall were all dug out of the ground when digging/moving back the hill. Sadly, I still have many, many more rocks left over.
