its all crooked!
It’s why it’s hard making it look good

 

Wrong country aren't they from Belgium or Austria or some such thing it be the save the rest of the parts of me that have not been rebuilt. As a mower it is way over kill for a half acre but as a snow mover, gravel mover, machine mover or anything heavy well it will be nice to have something that can go across the driveway . The engine cherry picker does not do well on gravel lol

I wouldn't waste your money on that gimmick. I can't see how it would ever be useful. The bucket, the way it is, works well enough. Just my thoughts based on my farming years.

 

I have no need of one lol , from what I gather it is designed to clear light weight brush and such no idea if it works or not stumbled across it looking for bucket hooks and a 3 pt trailer attach setup.

Instead of the rear weight, I bought the box scraper. Adds weight plus I use it for grooming the gravel yard.

 

I debated a box scraper the drive way is 2 1/2 cars wide and 4 cars but two things made me go with the weight box. 1 this model can not take industrial tires so I am stuck with turf or ag tires . Ag tires would destroy my fine green weed yard more then it already is. The second part is to push any amount of snow with turf tires I need weight and chains we get a lot of ice with our snow so the box blade I do not think would give me that. Moreover, with the weight lift capacity the box blade would not off set lift as well as a 350 lb weight box. I did just pick up a grader blade for the 3pt I can use it to keep the drive way flattened and plow if need be ..well that is the plan anyhow :}

Sounds fair. Pallet forks are handy too.

 

Not a bad idea. It'll even lessen the friction and make loading loose material a little easier. But if you want to clean up on a harder surface the "smooth" bucket makes life easier. I need to get a smooth bucket. I have material piles that are on hard surface, but the teeth on my loader bucket are pretty aggressive and it doesn't take much to scar the asphalt or pull up material that's under the pile and contaminate it. I did order a sweeper broom for cleaning up after I pull road edges. It's hydraulic but only has manual angle adjust. But, since I won't be doing snow removal, I really don't need to change angles. I'll probably get it set and leave it.

 

Show off lol

You can always hang some extra weight on the scraper box if you want more counterweight and it'll add to the down pressure.

 

The box is a Kubota unit just about the same price as a non name brand the nice part is it is right on the box for BX 300 lbs for B I think it was 450 so 10 concrete blocks 4x8x16 soild cap blocks should weigh about 320 ish according to what I could find will weigh one when I get them and see. Tonight taking a 3pt hitch 6 foot grader blade off the bed of a truck with one clamp on fork dead center on the bucket. I could tell she was a bit light in the ass with that much weight up at almost full height of the bucket. I did not get the quick attach setup as it takes 100 lbs off your lift capacity and I really do not have a need for any other attachments. If I use the forks 3 times a year I will be impressed. If I had the need and larger property I would have went up one size to get the R1 industrial tires put the quick attach on as they are using skid steer style attachments now so I could get a regular plow, sweeper, snow blower, grapple etc if I needed or wanted to.

Don't get too wrapped up with the counterweight thing. You'll soon figure out what you'll be doing the most and the limitations of the machine and make adjustments. Quick attachments are nice to have but not a must have. Forks, you can always buy or make a set that hang on top of the bucket so you can simply roll the bucket into them and not have to pull bucket pins or latches or whatever set up it has. There are a ton of directions and optional ways to do things that are pretty much limited by your imagination.

It's nice to get matching implements but aftermarket brands are sometimes way less expensive. It's just what your flavor is.

 

Does it have wheel weights on it already?

 

Opening day

 

Hello everyone. My name is Chili and I am 54 years old.
I took my '17 TRD off road out for three days and two nights of offroading by my old ass lonesome. Found out I don't really like setting up camp and breaking camp by myself very much.

Morning.
