These are all great ideals! I should have given more info. I live in the Pisgah Nat Forest (mountains). I don't have much of a yard, so I have very little grass and a weed whacker has to be used. I own 5.5 acres and border the USFS so I have another 150,000 acres to play on. I do heat with wood which I have access to plenty of free firewood here in the forest. I split all my firewood by hand (fiskars splitting ax) so I don't need a 3 point log splitter. I like the sprayer idea. My 25hp boomer is a TLB and the NH 33hp tractor has nothing on it so it is mostly used for everything and attachments. I will go back and read your suggestions again. Thanks!

Sounds like a Logging Winch would work for you!!!

I actually thought about a Logging Winch. Living here in the forest makes getting firewood easy, trees are always falling into or near the forest roads making firewood harvesting easy. There have been times that a winch would have been helpful but I get plenty of hardwood easy.

My most used "attachment" isn't PTO powered, but rather the front loader/bucket/fork.

Some people also find a grapple handy. I've got a big one I'll be working on soon.

Logging Winch/Skidder would be a great idea since you work a lot of wood.

PTO powered generator for when one of those trees takes out the power line.

K5LWQ, you are correct about the trees and power lines! We have a lot of outages. I have that covered with a 5000 watt Generac generator. We have also learned to live 5 or 6 hours without power.

My property is mostly forest. I have a flail mower for those areas that are not.

My next PTO powered implement would be a chipper.

If I had money burning a hole in my pocket, maybe a tiller.

If you can not think of a need right now - don't spend right now. Sooner or later it will come to you.

I have an 80 acre pine forest. Every other year or so - I thin my young pine stands. Due to wildfire concerns - burning would only be a winter time activity. I thin & chip in the spring. When its relatively cool.

My only PTO implement - Wallenstein BX62S - chipper. Used to chip those pines that are cut out.

The remainder of my implements are not PTO driven. Loader, grapple, bucket, LPGS, ROBB, moldboard plow, disk harrow & rear blade.
