My attachments have always sat out in the weather and I've always wished I could put them under cover...especially the ones with PTO's, hydraulics and/or lots of moving parts.
We recently put up a small tarp garage to hold horse jumps and there is some left-over room in it where I could probably squeeze in two or three implements. The problem is that the garage door clearance is only about 6' 8" and my tractor has a cab. Backing in with implements on the 3-PH wouldn't get me far enough in before hitting the door with the cab. I could lift them with a chain on the FEL, but then I couldn't clear the doorway to the garage, either.
SO...Has anybody heard of a way to hook up a 3-PH attachment on the FEL to move implements? I'm mostly interested in moving my Wallenstein chipper, grapple rake and brush mower under cover. If I can't figure this out, I'll just wrap them in tarps for the winter!

Just use chain around the implement...it's easier if you have bucket hooks, BTW, but you can just wrap the chain around the bucket.
Use care when running the chain and cardboard (or something of that nature) to protect the implements' paint and surfaces.
BTW, I've also used ropes..make sure the rope is stout and it's not running around sharp edges.

The hard part is setting the implement down straight. An assistant (better be a pretty strong person) would be a big help.

I had a 3 point quick hitch welded to a Q/A plate. It works great for moving stuff around the yard. I also use it with an Omni mount to move my trailer around.

Once you start moving your attachments around with your loader, you'll wonder why you didn't think of it earlier.

Be careful if you get a boxblade on the FEL. You won't know if you're coming or going.;)

Princess Auto sells them, at least in the Ottawa store.

I have a large chain slip hook welded to the top center of my bucket. On most 3 point stuff, I can simply tilt the bucket down, slide the hook under the top pin, and roll the bucket back to pick it up. Works great for moving implements around.

I raised my portable garage 8" off the ground so I had enough clearance to the sunshade to drive in. I then put some 6 by 6 's around the outside to keep the snow from blowing in too much. I tried to mount the portable garage on the 6 by 6's last year but the frost twisted them and broke the mounting feet of the garage.

I picked up a bunch of wooden pallets that I set things on, just pick them up with the forks and poke them in where needed. Snowblower, generator, window AC units don't matter, me and JD can relocate it...
