Better built implements

Some nice stuff, but you got to do better before I show case something you'll all want to build

Maybe?

I am thinking you just want to see our stuff so you can get some ideas on what to build.
Show us what you got, and maybe I will pull out the show case.

On what to build next....maybe J__J

Maybe you could show examples of other implements you have created to show you are not just fishing and the group will be more inclined to show you the better stuff.

Ok, here's my home made attachment.

Nice, but how useful is it without any rear wheels ? :laughing:

It's a walk behind loader. Much more maneuverable.:laughing:

Quick set of front counter weights I put together. I use them when I'm brush hogging. Can be put on or off in 5 minutes.

Well, I claim the prize for best value for pounds lifted for $$ spent versus pounds of implement to facilitate lifting.

$$ = 0.0, I scavenged some used axles/hubs from scrap laying around

implement weight = less than 20 lbs for the axles... maybe a little more if you count the non dedicated chains.

lift weight = 2800 lbs of concrete culvert turned into a corner post. This culvert cannot be otherwise lifted because FEL bucket or forks add so much weight that relief valve pops first. I have numerous of these culvert corner posts and use the implement several times a year as I place them for new fence corners or replace old wood ones.

Best corner I've ever found...never rot, pull out of the ground, rust, tip. Axle shafts fit into holes manufactured in the culvert explicitly for lifting.
