the time had come for me to replace the subcompact rake and blade I had which would not fit my current L Kubota.
Wanting to buy American and seeing that Everything Attachments was in NC, though way over on the other side, I decided to make the trip and pick up some new implements there.
Almost a five hour drive, with a dually pulling a trailer, but mostly big highways. I got to meet Ted Corriher, the owner who is running his business in the same spot his father owned a tractor dealership going back into the Forties. Lot of inventory in the yard, all shiny and gleaming, like a TSC on steroids. Two guys helped load the "Extreme Duty" blade and rake into my trailer, plus the heavy duty pallet fork attachment. All fit in nicely and survived the trip just fine. They are still sitting in my trailer, waiting for a helper in a few days to make sure I don't bang them up getting them out, but note the lifting rings.
Looks like high quality equipment, and not only US made but NC made.
the rake and blade are rated to 80hp so I am not going to bother them with my 57hp tractor.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a beater older heavier tractor to play in the woods with, without a cab like mine, and wanted the two attachments to be sized for the next size up tractor too. I am physically limited by increasing arthritis so all of these implements are going to get some kind of mounting cradle/jig/holder with wheels so that hooking up is easier.
Quick Hitch is such nonsense when you are dealing with 500 pound implements if they aren't perfectly lined up.
When I get them hooked up and in use, I'll post some more pics. But for now, a fine experience with one of our oldest advertisers here and I'm very pleased with the equipment so far. Need to use it to really know. With a TNT on my Kubota I am looking forward to learning how to dig little ditches/trenches with the blade to better manage water on my basically flat property.
Yes I had to pay sales tax but the price was adjusted to offset that. That worked for me.
Funny, they noted the invoice "perfect paint". And they made those two implements literally just for me. And they looked quite nice.
will post more pics in next post.
