As I posted a few weeks ago, I got a new tractor. Man it was expensive, but DAMN this thing is handy. I got it mostly to mow a field, but I use it for a lot of other stuff. We had a storm blow through, and the tractor was a big help in getting a big limb cleaned up. This is a small thing, but recently I changed my sister's oil and used it to carry the low profile ramps I made from the barn up to the driveway. Of course I could have carried these by hand, but a tractor makes it a million times easier. What did you do with your tractor(s) today?

I have been looking for a little tractor for around the house. I'm not the poster you are quoting, but: The PTO on the Farmall Cub doesn't spin at the current standard RPM for a 3 point hitch. There are tons of implements for them, but it's only a 9hp tractor on a good day. Don't get me wrong, I love my '55 Cub but if you need the flexibility of a 3pt then a Cub is not the right tractor for you. |

Finally had a chance to bust the welder out for the year.. Made a backstop for my bucket, hopefully it keeps shit from landing on my hood. Also mounted a chain hook.
Also chopped and dropped my ROPS so I can drive under my 81" garage door  folding the ROPS down every time is a massive PITA I can't believe it's designed so poorly.

I would like a 3 point just to move things maybe small implements like small box drag. I want something that I can attach FEL to yes I know a cub is not the item but I do like them. I did see a JD 1010 today but it was a bit expensive I need something with a stuck motor or needs gone threw only way I will be able to pull it by the wife. |

I bought an old Dearborn plow off Craigslist for $150. It not in the best shape but will work for my purposes. I don't like how close it is to the tractor, I wish the 3 point arms were a little longer to hold it farther away. It might actually hit the tractor, it was raining and I didn't play around with raising and lowering it too much.
I have a lead on a 3 point disc as well...  " />

They don't work together. As I feared, the plow is too far forward and contacts the 3 point arms when the plow is lowered. Hopefully I can get my money back out of this plow when I re-sell. Kind of bummed it didn't work out. |

You can't adjust the position of the 3-point pins on the plow? Kinda looks like they can be moved further front in your picture.

Better shot of my issue, I'm just hosed. Pretty sure Helen Keller designed this plow.
ETA: might work if I adjust the right 3 point arm so that it is pushed to the left, away from the rear tire, which would make it more parallel to the plow...  " />

I was going to say that exact same thing. I could fix that with a demo saw in about 60 seconds. Looks like it was designed for one of those old retro-fit 3 point systems, like the kind you could put on an Allis. There is an arm that did the lifting, and probably a chain or cable was used where that eye looking thing is. |

More mods today. Not quite finished... need to shorten the receiver hitch about an inch.... dry fit it and there would have been some interference. Plan on adding some finer mesh to the HD mesh also. Then paint. It boggles my mind they call the factory version a brush guard... and no tie downs on the front end?

I have been looking for a little tractor for around the house. A 3 point would be nice. There's conversions out there, but the tractor really is too little for any serious 3 point work. We mostly got ours for mowing, and I'm contemplating a newer compact with a 3 point and FEL for more serious work. Didn't get any pictures, but I knocked down about 2 acres of nap weed yesterday. I'll likely head out and knock down some more in a couple hours. I also made a guard for the cutting arm, since I'm pretty attached to my fingers.

I stuck a bobcat S250 back there last year but was eventually able to push it out backwards with the bucket. I have a 3pt mount receiver hitch so I just mounted the portable 8000 lb winch into the 3pt and pulled myself out backwards. The area doesn't have any bottom in it. There are several spring fed creeks on the property and they bubble up in that particular area. It's like a peat bog.......which makes a perfect area to cut a path for the rifle range! When It's done I'll be able to shoot 200 yards from my deck. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

ONLY thing else I could as for is a FEL. I did use the father in laws 4020 today... As a vice to clamp some metal to while drilling and grinding lol. other than that no actual work. I will be getting backhoe soon to clean out my burn pit as it is overfull !! now I need to find what to do with all the ash and unburnt trash |

SWMBO decided we needed a pink dogwood added to the wooded area on the road side. Her preferred location was currently occupied by a low stump by a mound, so the 1025R w/backhoe was pressed into service.
The mound was a buried pile of rocks & the stump was probably from a cluster of maples - no tap root but a lot of big, long, shallow roots. 
Chained the stump to the bucket - it's upside down - for the trip to the "rot in peace" pile (aka "our stump dump") 
Filled the hole back & raked out roots etc., then used the backhoe again for the transplant hole. A bit of water & the new resident is settled in...

Two weeks ago, I was tilling and moved my little tree farm. Tonight I have to move snow.

 Turned the garden plot tonight. Just about the only time I've wished for R1 tires. |

Well he's on the right track. Get one that is easy to take off. My Kubota B3200 has a FEL that comes off in 5 minutes or less. Lower bucket, drop storage legs from loader arms, tilt bucket to take pressure off pins, pull two pins, back out a foot, disconnect 4 hoses and you're done. I mow with mine and I take off the FEL often. Not having a FEL would be a mistake in my experience unless you downright know you won't use one. |

It's hard to imagine having need of a tractor and not at some point needing an FEL. Mine comes off about the same way but I've never needed to take it off. |

Some minor adjustments and $20 in kubota new orange spray paint. I am pleased with how it turned out, knocking a hole in the air screen will be less of an issue while working in the woods now, hopefully
Additionally, I now have a securement point in the front for transporting, and a receptacle for 2 inch receiver accessories. Will be installing ROPS mounted LED's in a week or two.

I had a fun couple of days at the farm/range...
expanded the gravel a bit so the 'dry feet' area is bigger. 
Heard a big rig by the gate... could it be dozer man? Oh no... someone high centered in the road. Kubota to the rescue! 
Took a big slab for a drag. I wasn't sure the kubota would do it, but it did! Approximately 8'x3'x10" chunk of interstate. 
step aside.... the big dog is here now...

He tried to make a uturn and picked a bad spot to do it. He was empty, so a little pull from the Kubota and he got off the high spot. |

25 yard pistol, 50 yard range, and a 220 yard range. Dozer was flattening out the range and front yard, adding additional parking places, and several more camp spots. |
