    Even though I went 60" gear drive tiller, there is definitely something satisfying about plowing and disking that a tiller can't match.

    I don't have or need one either. Now a finish mower for all our shooting ranges and trails would be nice. With the cost of E-free gas vs off-road diesel I might just get one.

    That sounds like me. Rear blade is on all winter along with the 7' snow pusher up front chained to the bucket. Rear blade usually doesn't get used rest of the year. I leave the tiller on from spring till last till of the fall. 5 gardens here.

    Oh, not an implement, but the Pats quick hitch deals are worth their wt in gold and I wonder why I waited so long to get them.

    Does this count ? Just was fortunate enough to finally get a 60 inch...non drive over mower deck after almost 4 years of BX ownership ! This may become a go to...as we have alot to mow !
    At the time of purchase...we only had enough $ to chose between the mower deck or grapple with third function kit. Obviously....I made the right choice getting the grapple then !!!!!!

    and like tractors, implements hold their value well. I bought a 6' king cutter blade 30 years ago for $ 100 and sold it this week for $200 it was well worn but still the best deal for my area. bought a new old stock 7 ft blade at auction for $ 295 , retails for over $600 check the farm auctions for deals.

    also have pallet forks, needed to add a little to the arch on the post auger because it barely cleared on flat ground. Eventually I will buy or build a small grapple but the bandmill that’s coming Wednesday will need priority to get the 30’ trailer with a rail extension made. Was no reason to buy a mower deck because I already have a 48” cub cadet that mows the yard just fine in a couple hours. No reason to put those hours on a tractor

    If I had more to mow would make sense in my mind to buy a larger zero turn for 6-8000 would be faster in the end.
