I made a kickstand for my TS rear blade (why don`t they come with them:rolleyes:)
Simple 3/4in galv pipe, flange, mounting flange, drilled& tapped 3/8ths holes.
The "pin stay" thru holes are also 3/8ths. Still need a chain put on the pin so it don`t get lost.
I screwed a square piece of pressure treated decking board on the bottom for now just to keep it from sinking in the ground when parked outside for long periods of time. But that was after i took the picture.

I also added large flat washers to the 3pt pins to remove the side to side slop on the QA hitch.

Did a similar thing a while back. Admit I have hooked to the blade and forgot about my stand…..:):)

Finished up the "Project Wasteland" this afternoon. 20 yards of enriched soil, 100 lbs of seed and 7 bales of straw later, I will pray for rain as well as health and happiness. I "tilled" the dirt with a box blade, then spread the topsoil and went over it again. Smoothed it all down by back dragging. Then spread seed and straw.
Didn't get a photo, but the EA grapple was perfect for hauling the hay bales. Fit em all in its mouth. I closed the jaws a bit too tight and busted the twine holding two of them together. When I let them go, straw went everywhere! 😆

Yes, very nice! (y)

I assume you have a Wicked 55? Ted said that you can buy the upgraded plates (DIY weld job) for the Wicked 55 that are now shipping as standard on new grapples. I'm going to call EA tomorrow and see if (A) they plan on making them for the Wicked 60, and (B) if I can buy them. I could make them out of the plate I have laying around but it's not Hardox 450.

I had seen that upgrade in another thread (I believe you posted it). Sounds like an awesome addition and very cool of EA to offer it as an add on. I have the 54" dual lid which has the serrations between the tines of each lid. Really helpful when dragging logs out by the end.

I almost tipped mine over today lifting something up. My rigging didn’t balance the weight. Slowly raised the bucket…instantly stated to roll forward and to the left…my son was amazed at my rare cat-like reflexes. I hit the correct lever and threw it in the correct direction, all within a nanosecond! A silent victory.

VERY NICE!!!!
I was, going to do that exact same idea. But i was concerned about the stitch welds in that plate cracking if i ever forgot to pull the stand up before driving away with the tractor. My luck, i would break it.

LOL, yeah that`s my same fear, forgetting to pull the stand up before moving the tractor:eek:

OK that's pretty darn slick. I like it.

(y)
The reason they don't "come with them" is that Tarter Gate would have to charge TSC more, and TSC would then have to increase their retail price.
TSC wants to sell implements at the lowest price possible, and that requirement has obvious consequences for the buyer.
