I thought I would add in a little about what I have been getting into
around the property with the old girl. My daughter just turned 1 so I
cleared and graded a nature trail for her. I have been maintaining the
road and moving dirt around with a scoop bucket. I removed some invasive vines that had killed all the other trees and plants with the root rake. Most of the time I just look for things to do just to get out of the office and out on the tractor. I haven't started on any gardens or anything yet...that will probably be this growing season.
Right now my dad and I
are sharing most attachments until I start bringing some home. Here is a list of what we have (operational). I would be interested in hearing what others have outside of this list that they find very useful...
- Scoop Bucket (loving this one to fill in a hole from a pool that has been removed)
- 2 Scraper Blades (one came with my tractor so it's the only attachment I have)
- Box Blade with teeth
- Root Rake (not the thin rake fingers style)
- Boom
- Bush Hog
- Finish Mower
- 1 Bottom Plow
- Middle Buster
- Disc
- Roto-tiller
By far the best upgrade has been my seat. The wife bought one of those suspension seats to replace my pan style seat. I have to admit it was a great gift. I had it assembled and mounted within a day.
Upgrades/Fixes I will need to get into soon...
- New Tires
- Hydraulic Piston Rebuild
- Rear Axle Seals
- Clean gear oil off brakes and new pads
- PTO Shaft Seal
