Bobcat E35 delivered today. Just an 18" bucket and thumb, I figure that's enough for me to do some damage for a while. What's the most useful "next thing" you'd get or add to a mini-ex?
I did a thing, what's next!?

You didn't just do a thing, you did the right thing.

Smooth cutting edge to go over the teeth for fine grading, a bit wider than the bucket.
Just don't add a beard trimmer for it haha!

Congratulations on your new thing. That will be very useful.
I only know a little about tractors, so no suggestions here other than to stay safe and have fun.
I'm not even sure what attachments are available.

Would suggest a large can of wasp spray. Like the machine. Mine has been resting for over a year, misses me.

Most useful thing to do next; get a lot of practice and see what you need. A 32" or so ditch cleaning bucket, with smooth "sand plate" might be good.

If you don't have some type of "wedge lock" or "pin grab" for ease of switching attachments, this may be the first thing.
Aligning the pretty beefy and definitely greasy pins to manually attach various attachments will help you with this decision. Do it once manually and your wallet will magically open right up for this option.

A good grease gun and a lot of quality grease cartridges. These things LOVE grease! 
Powered grease guns are very handy, BUT I personally do not own one. I use high quality pistol grip grease guns. Personal preference...I like to feel if there is any unusual resistance when greasing.

I would have to have a cleanout bucket for it. Then I would get James Capers to build me a Limb Hog saw attachment for it.
