Since buying a 12' dump bed trailer in conjunction with my also recent purchase of the L 3301, a box blade, and the forklift attachment, I needed to rethink how I was storing my unused implements. In the previous 12 years I had my earlier Kubota, and no dump bed trailer, I had enough room in an outbuilding to pretty much just dump them on the floor. Sure I could build an entire new outbuilding, and I gave that a lot of thought, and still might in the future, got the room and worked construction for 40 years so no biggie to throw up a pole storage shed. BUT, it's also fun for me to do more with less, so I took a long look at how I was storing them and where, and before I knew it I had improved things so much I now have room to keep the new trailer inside, along with all the older and the newer implements.
I had fun using up the angle iron frame that Titan shipped my box blade in, waste not want not! It occurred to me that if I could stack the blower on top the snow pusher, it would save a lot of room, a simple bolted on angle iron attachment accomplished that. After I bolted it on, I realized there would be no need to remove it prior to use in the winter, so I could have just welded it on, next time. Once the blower was lifted onto the pusher, a ratchet strap keeps things stable. Then I had a real brain fart, as the Pro Tech pusher has arms on it so your FEL can just drive up and lift it, I figured I could lift both implements once stacked, and then put them in their summertime storage space. It worked perfect, with the greater lift and power of the new tractor, as opposed to my old one, paying off once again.
