A heavy duty torque wrench for bolts and nuts the dealer skips over. Also Locktite 242 for lugnuts that seemingly loosen up out of the blue.
Not to throw icewater on a set of grab hooks but, if you get them, you need to be cognizant about where on the bucket you place them, especially if the bucket is a light duty material bucket. Placing them in a non supported spot can bend the bucket sheets. If I need something moved, I welded a set of hooks directly to the SSQA frame. The closer you are to the center point of the loader frame, the more lift you have.
Don't get enough consistent snow up here.....some years, but not like Michigan or something...Not sure of your location....maybe block heater and tire chains,easy to use diesel fuel container.
I lived in N AZ and found the following things to be used the most: loader, rear blade for snowplowing and road maintenance, rotary cutter for mowing, canopy for shade when mowing, and supplemental work lights mounted to the canopy or ROPs.I am in N AZ and the land is dead flat. I will be using it for general property maintenance, moving dirt and DG, clearing weeds and rocks, plus livestock cleanup. Pretty light duty I think.....
During the years I lived in Flagstaff and Show Low we got plenty of heavy snow. Are you somewhere else in N AZ?Don't get enough consistent snow up here.....some years, but not like Michigan or something...
