A TSC boom pole. Made me realize I needed a loader so I bought a tractor with a loader. Best $150.00 bucks I ever spent :)

Lets see. Most used and needed:

Rear scrape blade. Gotta have it to repair the road constantly.
Grapple, gotta have it to take care of the brush and rocks.
Canopy. gotta have it in the summer to prevent brain cooking. :)
Ballast for 3pt. Gotta have it when using loader for heavy loads

rarely used: bush hog. maybe twice a year at most. Could get by without it.

I'd just like to take a moment and thank you all for providing me with a huge, well-thought-out shopping list!

Another made item.

Boom pole. Only used 1 time. Do have some work for it in the future. 1 Advantage is that by adjusting a chain it can be moved from side to side. Also it mounts on the FEL & that has a lot more lift than the 3 point

Tiller, cut spring garden prep from a week to a couple of hours. Brush hog, no more beating up my lawn tractor doing stuff it wasn't designed for. FEL looking forward to delivery of a pair of clamp on forks for handing brush and tree limbs. Scraper blade, it's kept the driveway smooth for years, used to be on the 8N about 98% of the time.

Stuff on the Massey Ferguson that I really appreciate, power steering, HST, and FWD.

Other than the loader, Ratchet Rake! I love this thing. It pulls out brush pretty well and saturday alone I ripped out 5 stumps on the property that we used to just mow around.

That's 2 for RR. Awesome for preping / clearing lawn, drives, etc, great for digging, ripping.
Backhoe #3

In my case TOOTH BAR, so handy that I never take it off and simply added a rugged wear strip on my bucket heel to use for back grading.
Next is an electric HD winch that I use for occasional 'logging' that slips into my trailer hitch tube.

Another occasionally used tool is a wicked big 'clamp on' tooth that I use to pop foot sized rocks and 'rip' out small shrubs.
The 'tooth' makes short work of clean plucking 3-4 ft ceders and other shrubs with minimal soil clumps.

Then naturally is my back blade that with practice grades and moves lots of top dressing.

Last on my list is a 3 bladed drag to dress gravel driveways.

Aside from the FEL, My Spring Tooth Harrow and Ballast Box are at the top of the list.

Not really an attachment per se, but just got my L3430 back from having 3 remotes and a top n tilt installed.

Worth every penny

What kind of lift arms are those ? They look like the would extend outward a few inches maybe making the hook up of attachments a little easier. I can see that hooking p my weight box can be a hassle where it is so heavy I cannot even crow bar it forward or left or right even a fraction if needed.

Jeff there have been some technical issues with the forum lately like what you described.

Sorry for the late response, it's hay time and I've been busy.


The lift arms are the standard (extendable) arms that come stock on my tractor. They do make it nice hooking up heavy things, like a 1500 pound block of cement.:laughing:

I have a lot of attachments bought and built that come in very handy, but my favorite bought implement is the Goosen pto straw blower. I don't use it that often but I no longer dread putting straw down and saves a lot of time and material!
