Tractor mods or accessories

What tractor mods or accessories have you put on your tractor ?
I built this trailer hitch several years ago, today I was moving some equipment but didn’t have the right ball so I added a piece of tubing to my hitch to store another slide in hitch

 

So far I've only added a speed knob to the steering wheel and 2" ball and a clevis to the draw bar. Need to pick up my carry from the dealer soon.

 

Not really mods or accessories, but I've built a few custom implements.

 

My wife told me if I get anymore tractor accessories, she is going to leave.


Sure going to miss her .

 

Adjustable crane boom made about 10 years ago.

 

I vote for grapple. best addition I made for mine.
great looking machine you have there

 

Painted the pallet forks so they are easier to see.

 

I painted my whole forks yellow.....a couple days after I splattered my face tripping on them in the dark.
Graceful I am NOT!

 

It's amazing how many things you aren't even looking for that you will find in the dark.

 

The perspective on this pic make that siren look like something from a Dr Suess book

 

Picked up the carryall this morning.

 

Grapple is a must ! Also 3 point carryall comes in very handy !

 

That's a nice rig. I have something similar but it's store-bought. I like the hook on the top for attaching a chain. I use that a lot for skidding logs and pulling anything else with a chain. Looks like you could weld a hook onto your rig pretty easily.

 

I like that alot !

 

It works great with a choker chain.

 

Modified 3point Drawbar Hitch Adapter with a added top hook?

 

Bingo! I'm going to put a hook on my 3 point hitch before cutting season this fall, that's an excellent idea! I have been skidding with the box scraper, which has a D-ring on it.
The accessory I really want is a grapple. We are only allowed 4'X4'X4' burn piles, so a grapple would let me have a small burn pile and keep feeding it easier. I can't believe they actually have a plane that flies around and checks your burn piles but they do.

 

Love your tractor but where is 3 function for grapple?

 

Not hard to add a 3rd function , it is just a diverter valve that utilizes the bucket tilt function.
I did mine with an aftermarket valve & joystick kit , mounted the valve and then ordered any fittings to plumb it up.
It took a little time to get it done and keep it as tidy as I could but worth every second.
By far the grapple is the best tractor-wood tool you could ask for.

 

I agree 100 percent. It would be a bad day if I had to go back to life without a grapple
