What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

Received Piranha bar yesterday, installed it. Lengthened the slots so that I can install
the clamp on forks without wrestling with the weight of the bar.
By the way, if you buy clamp-on forks get them from a name brand manufacturer.
I got mine from either Amazon or Ebay, don't remember. I have had to reweld every
weld on the forks, and on the brace that I bought to go between the forks.
Oh I forgot, here's a picture of the bar rotated up out of the way.

Spent about three hours digging out shrubs and getting used to running the backhoe. It sure takes experience to get to know all the nuances about operating the controls. I'm getting there but I seem to forget since I only use it a couple times a year.

Wait till you get multiple tractors or if you ever run heavy equipment when ever you switch types it can take some muscle memory regrouping! I have experienced with mobile crane and trackhoe plus my small tractor stuff and going from a week on a crane to a trackhoe and the workers always give looks when you shake something lol

Looks good what you think of the Piranha bar you think it will be worth the cost ?

I've never removed my PTB since I installed it. I do remove my bucket often though. My grapple is on my LS most of the time and occasionally I use my pallet forks.

I had a set of the clamp on forks for a previous Kubota that had a bolt on bucket instead of SSQA. I used them twice, wasn't pleased with them. I much prefer my present 48" x 4000lb. forks with SSQA attachment.

I think so, tried briefly clearing some brush / saplings at the edge of the property.
Works well for what it is, and much better than a straight edge.
I think with a heavier / more powerful tractor, it would
be better - the little MT-125 just does't have enough *** for it
