Since acquiring a tractor back in April, we have been steadily buying implements. The 2-disc Ferguson Plow and 20-disc harrow were in the weeds on our lot, everything else we picked up used.

Today we got the scrape blade and brush hog.
previously acquired were the 5-time cultivator (pictured with two times mounted), hay fork, boom, dump bucket . . .and not pictured is a potato plow, and a PTO winch that needs come fabrication to make it work with out tractor.

Now I have to put them to work!

Looks like all older stuff too. I enjoy owning older stuff. Wouldn't mind having that collection myself.

What I really need but don't want to need because i don't want to pay for it OR spend the time running it at 2mph, is a tiller.

Well, i want a bunch of other things too but im kind of counting on myself to build them out of junk around here rather than actually go buy them. :ROFLMAO:

Implements are great but what makes some of them over the top great is hydraulic top and tilt capability...being able to make pitch and angle changes without stopping and getting off the tractor is a game changer...!

I agree with the top link. The side link has limited use. It's only useful with a box blade imo. I use my hyd side link very little.

Don't see a box blade. That's probably my most used attachment.
I figure between the scoop and the scraper, I have most of my needs covered - the drive at the house is paved, and the lot where the tractor is will require a lot of clearing before I need to worry about using a box blade to make any roads pretty - they just need to be usable right now!

The Case tractor has a hand crank side link that is pretty easy to use from the seat, and I am thinking about fashioning a hand wheel to put on the mechanical top link to make it easier to turn rather than the two short stub handles on the casting.

hydraulic top link would be nice, but our tractor only has one valve for the lift arms, and adding additional valves is a bit more than I want to attempt right now - if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

I think the hog is the newest piece, early 90’s vintage. The boom may be newer, maybe not, but a boom is pretty much a boom.

I cannot find markings on the 20 disc, but it seems a bit newer than the two-disc, which is a Gen-U-Wine Ferguson (and not a hyphenated-Ferguson) unit.

Temporarily, I plan on using the 5-tine as a coarse rake for vines and bigger limbs, but thank you for the tip!
