New tractor arriving this Friday. What do I need?

[Hoodoo]

Well thanks in large part to the great advice from you guys, I have a Kioti CK2610 arriving at the ranch this Friday....any accessories you could recommend? I'm thinking small (inexpensive) stuff like toolboxes and other trick hacks.....
Thanks!

I would help if you gave some context as to what you plan to do with your new ride. Also, some background on where you live and a description of the terrain would help.
I don't want to recommend a snow blower if you are in South Texas.

^^ get some time on it before adding goodies on it.

Filters, oil and tools for the 50 hour service. Don't forget a drain pan large enough to hold the transmission fluid. Trying to swap a full 5 gallon bucket while oil is pouring out will probably make mess.
A shop manual.
If your tires are filed, a tire gauge for filled tires (it's spring loaded so it returns to zero when you take if off the valve stem, and ejects most of the liquid that can corrode or plug it up. With Rimguard I still need to rinse it out immediately or it will gum up).
Grease gun, grease (I use Lucas red #2) and a Lock'N'Lube. A battery grease gun is not needed for a single CUT. Lincoln makes good hand operated guns or you can get the Lock'N'Lube one which has some nice features.
Chains and shackles for pulling logs. I use a cable choker for the log, it grips well and is easy to push under the log.
If you're storing them on concrete you can make dollies for your implements so you can fit more into a space. HF casters and 2x4s/6s work.

I am in N AZ and the land is dead flat. I will be using it for general property maintenance, moving dirt and DG, clearing weeds and rocks, plus livestock cleanup. Pretty light duty I think.....

I'm going to build a pole shed for the tractor, plus it's brothers, the riding mower and golf cart. I will make room in there for tools and such.

A decent cup holder if the Kioti‘s is anything like Kubota’s ginormous one. This works well and is $11 and magnetic.

+1 on your post.
I keep enough oil filters and oil on the shelf to change out any and all of my vehicles. I replace it as soon as I use it. Saves money and I don't worry if it takes a while to find it. Good luck and have fun.

A heavy duty torque wrench for bolts and nuts the dealer skips over. Also Locktite 242 for lugnuts that seemingly loosen up out of the blue.

Not sure of your location....maybe block heater and tire chains,easy to use diesel fuel container.

 

[Hoodoo]

Now there's some good ideas!

 

[Hoodoo]

Any tricks for attaching a shovel vertically....tool holder clamps?

Not to throw icewater on a set of grab hooks but, if you get them, you need to be cognizant about where on the bucket you place them, especially if the bucket is a light duty material bucket. Placing them in a non supported spot can bend the bucket sheets. If I need something moved, I welded a set of hooks directly to the SSQA frame. The closer you are to the center point of the loader frame, the more lift you have.

Don't get enough consistent snow up here.....some years, but not like Michigan or something...

I lived in N AZ and found the following things to be used the most: loader, rear blade for snowplowing and road maintenance, rotary cutter for mowing, canopy for shade when mowing, and supplemental work lights mounted to the canopy or ROPs.

During the years I lived in Flagstaff and Show Low we got plenty of heavy snow. Are you somewhere else in N AZ?
