We've been looking for about a year. I finally bought a B3300su with 504 bucket and 4ft howse brush mower. Never owned a compact/scompact tractor. I am wondering what tools I may need moving forward. I have a decent compliment of tools in the garage. However, what do you guys most frequently use?

Otherwise a couple of different extensions and a universal for my wrench set. A dead blow hammer and a machinists hammer. Oh and a good stick too - lube and tap, lube and tap . . .

Welcome,
Favorite tool in the tool box, https://store.snapon.com/Round-Head...t-Swivel-Head-Round-Head-Ratchet-P650298.aspx
Harbor Freight sells the copy cat version. I have them in 3/8 and 1/4 and never use a regular ratchet.

I have a tooth bar from Iowa farms and it's great. I like the piranha bar as well but the Iowa farms bar I can use my Titan clamp on forks with it on and I couldn't do that with the piranha. Congratulations on the tractor
I keep a set of cheap HF metric wrenches in the ammo er toolbox, and a bendable bottle brush, fer cleanin the radiator, a medium metric hammer, and a metric adjustable wrench
, and any shear pins fer attachments.
In the shop, I have Kroil, a torch and a beeswax candle, fer obvious reasons.
Also an IR thermometer, do diagnose various malodors...

I'll eventually be replacing all my sockets and open end wrenches to the new "through" type. (Go Thru , Pass Thru are common names for these) The bolt goes THROUGH the socket if need be thus they eliminate most all needs for deep sockets and often fit into tighter spaces. With the right adapter (which often is included in a set) they can use your standard sockets too till you finally get it all switched.
