    Blue tractor that is. After a lot of cussing and discussing, video watching, head scratching and determining what was important to me I bought a LS MT 225s. They are part of the New Holland family. Compact tractor with a 24.7hp Japanese built Yanmar engine. I added a set of SSQA pallet forks for now. Had the dealer put a King Kutter carry all on hold for me. IMG_20220701_181648.jpg IMG_20220701_181634.jpg PXL_20220701_205527568.jpg PXL_20220702_224555712.jpg So far I'm very happy with it.

    Congratulations on the tractor! It’s really is surprising what someone can accomplish with a tractor. The more experienced you get with them the more work you are able to get done. And save yourself from back aches!

    Nice, have been looking into those myself. Those pallet forks... do they attach to the bucket? If I could get some for my FEL that I could easily put on / take off, that is something to consider! Right now, I need to move a LOT of 20-25 tall saplings on the ground to a brushpile.

    EDIT: I see that SSQA means skid steer quick attach, so, I suppose the answer is no, they attach on their own. But I could also do that, might be just as easy or even easier.

    Yes skid steer quick attach. So the fork have their own frame. I had considered the forks that clamp to the bucket however I had heard too many issues of people distorting their bucket.

    Oh yeah.
    You are going to love it.

    Bought my Massey about a year ago and love it.

    Quick attach on mine as well.
    Bucket , forks , snow pusher and the grapple was the latest.
    If you are looking for a new attachment look into a grapple for the front ! Great addition and very useful .
    Good luck with it.
