What have you made for you tractor

[76_Bronco]

Finally got around to making a tooth-bar for my B7200.

 

[lreops]

Wanted something compact for a counter weight when using the FEL and came up with this 850 lb. addition.

Made a snow blade from a B5000 dozer blade for my G1900. MAde the front receiver to mount on the tractor. Made a rear hitch and weight bar for it also.

Wrong color, built the entire front end loader from scrap on the little satoh. Also made forks, hay fork and a rear hitch/suitcase weight holder. Just sold the Satoh and bought a BX2230, so more fabbing coming soon

Made this last fall for skidding logs. Not pictured is the choker chain to keep the log low and close to the tractor.

Lots if good stuff. Heres my take on hitch reciever.

Centre pocket is for ball hitch. It works great for moving trailers around my storage building, easy to line up.
Forks fit pallets well,would guess moved 500 lb pieces no problem.

Sorry,
only have the forks picture right now. No snow, so I have more time to work on projects

rpage83 I know this is an older post but was wondering if you could post some detailed pics of your forks it looks like a great design just what I have been looking for.
Thanks Keith.

Welded two chain hooks to the bucket. Attached a chain hook to an old logging hook. I can stretch a chain between the two hooks on the bucket and hang the logging hook from the center. To move a large log I just position the bucket and tap the logging hook into the log and it will hold it enough to keep the log in the bucket. Works good when the log is too big to roll into the bucket.

BRILLIANT I love the loggin hook idea. Does the hook turn the log loose ok when you're dropping the log?

 

[oldenough]

Yes, the log will drop right off when you tilt the bucket down. You don't even have to get off the tractor to drop it. If you have a helper to set the hook you don't have to get off the tractor to load it either. Just be careful with a big log and don't raise it high enough to drop it into your lap.

 

[Eric McCarthy]

That's a slick idea! Way cheaper then a grapple bucket for moving logs

Hey Mike, what control valve did you use from John Deere, I want to retro fit power steering to my b6000. From what I see, John deere control vavles have wierd connections at the control valve that are held down with some sort of plate.

I know how much we all like pictures, so I thought I would start this thread to see what out there and to get some new ideas.
My Tractor is a 1995 B7100hst 4WD.

Brush forks Made from 1 1/4 " rebar from the scrap yard cost $.22 a pound

Reciever hitch I made to move trailers.

Wheel weights made from bar weights from scrap yard cost 22 cents a pound. 100 pounds per wheel.

Power steering made from a john deere control valve and a hydraulic cylinder from ebay. cost about $300.00 (well worth the cost)

Front end loader from a bigger kubota tractor B1750, I had to rework the sub frame. Works great, and I got it cheap.

I have more but it will only let me download 5 pictures.

the control valve is from a john deere 400 garden tractor from the late 1970's. The valve activates by a push , pull handle that connects to the pitman arm. the valve that I bought from Ebay came with the JD pitman arm and I just used a 1/2 " coupler and connected it to my tractor, so I did not have to cut my pitman arm , and in about 10 minutes I can make mine manual steering again if I have to.

Made a simple light bar last fall for winter ops.

Took a little beatin' this summer mowing.

Lights still work, so I'm ready for raccoon season!!

Really - just a little realignment, and we're good to go!!

 

[flynavy]

Hay BMWMIKE, thanks for the wheel weight photos, GREAT IDEA!!

Finally got around to making a tooth-bar for my B7200.

Whoa, that's a serious cutting edge!

 

[Tooljunkie]

Made a heavier counterweight for the front,32"x6"x3". Should be an improvement, about four times the weight of the other one. Need it for snowblower and rear forks.
