Just for fun, I'd love to see pics of homemade attachments. I'm new to tractors but my experience is that you are an inventive lot and bet there's some cool 3pt Rube Goldberg machines out there.

someone posted their leaf blower recently....a furnace fan unit run by the rear PTO. Thought GREAT I need to build that ! Rats, I tossed out 5 of those furnace fans THEN remembered I sold the 'lot of leaves' 3 years ago so I don't NEED the leafblower.
Funny that the first post is just what I was thinking off. I don't have front hydraulics but I do have an old Cub Cadet rototiller attachment that has a 12v actuator that's pretty beefy, like a $600 unit. I was daydreaming of rigging it up on my bucket to make my own version of one of these:do FEL attachments count?

Electric Sub-Compact Grapple from Worksaver
Patent pending electric grapple rake from Worksaver requires no auxiliary hydraulics to operate, all you need is a battery connection. Handles debris and more.
When I first got my tractor a hear ago, I got a smoking deal on a 60" finish mower that basically came with a free Goosen leaf blower. I can't believe the amount of air those things move! I was using it for the first time to help my neighbor out and when I hopped off the tractor for something and walked directly in front of the discharge and it actually blew my feet out from under me and I went face down on the lawn.
Good day…I think the implements section and the fabrication / customization sections are the ones to watch….lots of great ideas from others that give me ideas/considerations. I am not sure this is what you had in mind from thread title and your first post, but here are the several I am partial too…(these are probably already in a thread).

I built a counterweight from a 20 gal trash can and a multipurpose frame. The frame can be used on the 3 point or loader. The hitch receiver allows me to move my 18’ trailer and use a hitch carrier for a carry all. I also built a sod cutter that attaches to the frame.
Ballast weight was the first thing I built for my m7060. I also just recently built this front carry all kinda dump box for firewood. Holds about a half bush cord loosely thrown in maybe a bit more when heaped. If you don’t believe me pls stop by and split and fill it for yourself to see. Lol

Wow. If you haven't done a build thread on that you should, that thing looks awesome!

Agreed, I can glue metal together on a fashion that won't come apart but it isn't welding, as welding is an artI hate you guys that can weld

Here's my contributions they're not pretty but they get the job done
First is my homemade concrete counterweight cast over a TSC drawbar and using some scrap metal for the top link mount.
Second is a my "trailer mover/3ph log skidder made out of a old trailer hitch and more scrap metal for the top link parts like I said not pretty but they get the job done the trailer mover got re-worked this past spring as I needed to steal the original easy duty top link angle iron for my loader build, so it needs a coat of paint

When you think a hydraulic winch could be handy
Winch was to wide for the Harbor Freight mount, had to modify with an angle grinder.
