Does anybody else keep a mental or written "bucket list"? Easy as it is with to swap between the bucket and the forks (mine are SSQA), I'll still keep a mental list of "next time the bucket is on I ought to move that pile of gravel" or "before I take the forks off that pallet ought to go out behind the shed".
Bucket list? Fork-it list?

My brain is mush at the end or day and end of week for that matter. I have to put my to do items on the whiteboard (yes, I really have one in my barn/shop 
).
).
Bucket, forks, grapple or whatever on the front.
Rotary cutter, blade, scraper or whatever on the back.
Too many projects, too little time.
And way too much rain lately to get much done these days.
I don't have a mental or written list.... that would be too much work! Lol

Things are pretty much annual patterns. Road grade/scrape April and September. Brush Hog May and July. Anything loader (bucket, fork, auger, grapple) needs to be done April through September as the loader gets dropped for the snow blower. In winter, a cargo deck goes on the 3-pt for fuel if needed. PTO Genset gets used more in winter. In other words, most things are demand driven.
I read on this forum that a simple solution for this predicament is buying another tractor
Loader attachments are swapped in under a minute using QA so not really an issue for me. The BH and 3PH swap takes about 30 minutes each time so I plan my jobs accordingly. If I'm unloading trailers or making heavy lifts with the forks I try to have the BH on.

I do that all the time.
But it rarely works out for me. I usually either forget, or just try to finish the "more important" job and put the job that was on the list, a little further down on the list.
Which begins a "vicious cycle" and your list grows "exponentially".
I think my list is approaching 343,297 "things to do" when I put the bucket on next.
