I believe I understand the basics, implements, safety with the SSQA loader.
Seems a 6' box blade (can't go 7') would be my first implement, versatile piece, 1,000# that I need to find yet, and a
ballast box JIC (cheap enough - amazon?). Most show cutting a road, drive, path etc w/BB, my 1st project does not include any of these, ATM, or ever is my guess.
My thought was a rear Quick Attach (harbor Freight?) would buy me ease of swapping (obvious), seems no gain in fulcrum since anyone has mentioned the advantage of such.
Paid for a SS and dump truck, 100 (???) loads of dirt, heavy stuff is done, gives me a better foundation to polish on (I hope).
I've got a valley (eroding, along w/a couple other places on the property!), about 50X100', 15-20 degrees both sides. Hard to even stay in the seat of the ZT, poor tree(s) roots exposed, wouldn't dream of running the 2501 anywhere except down the middle to work on the next project (only route).
No idea about what's the best way to fill the valley, seems like an elementary first project, good learning experience.
Would it be better if I move to "projects" forums for those details?
Best place/makes/models/$ for implements (I prefer not burning time looking for used that may or may not exist locally)?
