    3 point quick hitch

    Welcome friend, I’m down 52 right off the Rural Hall exit. I don’t use a quick hitch, but I can see where it would make my life easier with my bush hog, scrape blade and big ballast weight. You should see if Blackwelders trading post has one. It’s in Harmony. If you’ve never been it’s worth...

    Does a Rear Blade Exist that Does All This?

    The Homestead scraper appears to be the closest thing to the Leinbach blade that I have seen. 6 way adjustment with pins.

    Anyone know of / bought from Catawba Attachments?

    Will it be lightweight in the 240-300lb range? That was the main appeal for me for the EA 55. When you’re lifting and loading big logs a few extra pounds of lifting capacity makes a difference.

    Anyone know of / bought from Catawba Attachments?

What sets your families business apart from the others? Do you offer a discount to customers who can pick up? Do you have plans to build a...

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    I was fortunate to have a friend with several skid steer attachments, so I got to demo a long bottom grapple and fork grapple. The long bottom grapple was useful, but felt cumbersome due to the weight. I liked the fork grapple for moving brush and logs, but it is awkward trying to pick rounds. I...

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    Yes I did and I’m anxiously awaiting delivery on or before 3/22. If I could have found one locally at or below 300lbs I would have preferred receiving upon payment. $2157 is a huge amount up front.

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    I’d like to get paid in June for firewood I’ll deliver in November than I could pay Homestead for a box blade that got delivered in August. This thread is entertaining and hope it doesn’t get shut down. Real facts about the situation have been revealed that I would not have learned about...
