You need slip on shoes when useing the bucket to movwe snow on gravel driveways. They are calle dedge tamers. Glad I have a quick hitch can drop what ever is on the rear and grab the back blade in a couple of minutes. That back up camera works there too. Al
That’s what I like about using the box blade. I find it’s easier to keep it from digging in going in either direction actually and mine is the same width as my bucket anyway. The bucket’s more useful for pushing back the banks. Even on pavement in float it doesn’t take much to lift the front tires.
I have a set and they do work well. I used them to pick up wood chips off the lawn and it worked well.
Parts machine, or look for brackets on FB or CL. That's a pretty easy blower to sell too. You did good on that deal.
TO-35 Ferguson, 1959 model at left of picture was built the year I was born and bought brand new by my great uncle Harley. I have been using the dirt scoop for skidding firewood logs for years, but I'm building a new skidder set up for the 3 point hitch cuz the scoop puts the attachment too far to the rear for larger stuff now that we have a sawmill. Hope to get the new one built in the next couple of weeks. I'll get some better pix up then. This pic is from 2015 getting ready to buck and split. Almost everything laying there was a victim of the Emerald Ash Borer. This didn't even get all the dead Ash out of one single acre. I'm still cutting mostly standing dead ash. Too bad some of it is getting punky and are starting to blow down. My neighbors that heat with wood also cut here and there is just more than we can burn.
We have a '06 L3130GST Kubota. Got the forks on the bucket for the smaller logs. Have 2 hooks welded on top of bucket with chain and tongs for the big boys Got the big tongs on this white oak.
A better picture of it. We built it from a 3 pt hitch frame, a metal table that was thrown in scrap hopper, 2 D8 Cat undercarriage rollers and a big mill shaft that was thrown away. It weighed 800# before I bolted on the shaft, so probably 850-875 now. Squats the tractor like our 6 1/2 harrow does. Makes a great bumper when working in the woods and storage space for chains and tongs.
