While I driving my tractor around this weekend (smiling ,of course) I was thinking of some of the additions that I added to my tractor that I would never give up and are a now a "must have" with any tractor I will ever own. They are in this order:
1. Canopy
2. hook(s) on FEL
3. Top & Tilt

I was thinking there are a lot more "must have" accessories that tractor owners are realizing they cannot do without.

What additions to your tractor do you enjoy the most?

I added headlights lights up under the canopy. That made a world of difference.

Spinner knob was the best addition, though. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

#1 -- VERY LARGE toolbox behind the seat (18" tall, 16" wide, 8" deep)
#2 -- Pat's Easy Change
#3 -- EZ Weights on the front wheels to keep the front end down and to increase traction

The 5 extra lights I added are nice additions (2 forward on the ROPS, 2 rear facing on the ROPS, 1 rear facing Aux on the right rear fender), as is the switched 12-volt receptical, but I could live without all of those.

Aside from the bucket hooks, toothbar, future T&T, etc., what I thought was going to be a temporary addition turned out to be permanent. A light-duty FOPS, aka...my "Head Protector." /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

By chance I came up with a design that is totally out of the way, because it angles down towards the front, as well as inwards. I originally planned to just put it on when I needed it when working in the woods taking down some standing dead and other trees. Now after seeing it does not get in the way at all, it will stay in place. The comfort level increase is amazing. I don't plan on using it but I know if a 4" limb drops towards my head now, I won't feel it knockin' on MY noggin!

I rank this addition right up there towards the top of my list. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif This came as a surprise to me...

Almost forgot...

Here is a picture...
