That man helped give you life. If he wants to drive over some cedar trees then let the man!

pork, you think I could make a carry all for this like you did with your 8N?

KVR, follow this link.

Buy the carry all from TSC and you may way to drill holes to mount the pins lower (mentioned in the forum post above).

Also, Harbor Freight has a quick hitch that goes on sale frequently for ~$80. Be aware -- this is heavy and will move your attachments further away from your tractor.

Be aware that your tractor can't lift huge amounts on the three point and that you can overload the hydraulic cylinder. I would recommend you lightly build the carry all -- e.g 1"x lumber. I built mine out of treated wet 2x10's (if I remember right) and it was ridiculously heavy. Your tractor will have to deal with the weight of the carry all, and possibly the quick hitch, so every pound you add to the carry all is a pound you can't add in cargo.

sweet, thanks pork

came across this neat setup for a home made wood splitter someone set up

 

I got everything swapped out again yesterday, so took it for a cruise last night, tested the rototiller hard to see if the other pin would break, seems to have held up

 

 

got confirmation that the banana plate will be in tomorrow, so that looks like the project for the weekend

well the rain finally stopped yesterday afternoon, so I started moving the firepit

hope to get that finished up today, I'm really surprised how little this beast has impacted the yard, I drove right through this wet are a dozen times or so

and up through the yard and it really hasn't done more than mat down the grass

And they dropped more chips off yesterday, I think we have enough at this point, better to be safe than sorry though I guess

Very nice; that Case is just small enough not to tear up your yard and just big enough to do the job. Looks good K.
