I'd use it...

When I lived in northern BC, Princes Auto was my best source of a number of useful implements.. Patience and diligence to catch items on sale paid off..

This is the best design and engineered model I have found if I were in the market for a truck garden size implement.. https://woodwardcrossingscountrybasics.com/product/gemini-one-row-potato-planter-bomet/ This is one of the best ..on the cheap.. homemade versions I have found for a large...

I had a homebuilt hitch system much like the one in post #25... That is with 2" receiver under the cross bar to be at the lowest level.. The arm at the top link end of my unit was about 8" long and worked well for lift log ends for skidding.. What I will ....HIGHLY.... recommend is to...

There was a time I was pretty serious about a ...package... of hay equipment consisting of a mower, rake, baler package for a bit under $10,000 at the time... Then I wanted a string tie bailer, not net wrap.. They kept pushing the net wrap option pretty much ignoring my preference of string...

RIP Brother...

Things on forums I have read from people in the Maritime and people I have talked to say it is hard at best to find and ship implements.. I had the same issues in northern British Columbia.. Good luck..

At one time, in my ..Good Idea... note book I had plans to build ski type skid shoes like the picture in post #1... Also a trailing blade... Both that would bolt to my cheap auto, farm store box blade to use it as a better alternative to move snow with than the 3pt rear blade I had at the...

The bed hiller I had a very little experience with was set at a dedicated 45deg angles.. This on a homemade set up.. Depending on your ground and your crop, the width between the disks can make a difference..

If you have the work for the attachment it will be a work saver.. And it will be resalable..

Um... I successfully moved a lot of timber out of the bush without a skidding winch... I kind of coveted a winch at times and it would have been quicker in some situations... But I didn't want to spend that kind of money... What worked well for me was several dead man pullies, a couple 100...

I had an old 6' blade on the 3point.. I built a wing out of expanded metal that would bolt to either end of the blade.. It wasn't perfect but good enough for what it was meant for.. Also what helped a lot was to bolt about a 6" wide piece of belting along the top of the blade that would be...

WOW..... I'll bet that was a surprise when it happened... If it were my mower, I would get another one.. Then depending on cost, fix, sell the old one to retrieve some value from it..

YES.... ALWAYS fill rear tires... Product used depends on your local weather and budget.. I did a DIY fill on one tractor using auto antifreeze and -35F washer fluid mix.. There are heavier products by the gallon, but this was the most budget friendly mix available at the time.. It worked...

I believe it is Good Works Tractor that has a combo pallet fork rack, trailer mover, round bale mover (?) frame that attaches to cat 1, 3pt and JD loader quick hitch.. I'm sure this would be very useful.. Somewhere I saw someone made homemade adaptor to mount a 3pt attachment to a pallet...
