I ordered a Piranha Tooth Bar. It helps the front end loader dig and take out brush and small saplings.

I am going to use my tractor to put the dirt back it the big trenches on the geothermal. I just ordered a 20" LED bar to install on the roll bar. It get dark so quickly the headlight are blocked with the front loader.
https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1543553619 Later I would like to maybe hing it so I could use it for the backhoe. I would not use it for backhoe very often so I don't want to buy more lights just for that. |
With my Geothermal project I moved 440 cubic yards of red clay with my tractor.
When I bought it there was 85 hours on it. I have put 81 hours on it so far. I really like this tractor it may be small but it can do a lot of work. |

I added a skid steer quick release to my front-end loader.
I had to cut off my buckets bolt on brackets and weld on an adapter bracket to make it work with the quick release. You can buy a new bucket but that cost $500 plus truck shipping. The adapter plate was $110 shipped. I got a set of quick release pallet forks. I used my plasma cutter to cut off the brackets this is the one I bought off eBay https://ecorenovator.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5256 https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1549897644 https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1549897644 https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1549897644 It worked great for this job. I will be using it to make some tractor attachments soon. I used it to build a hand gun shooting this weekend. You can also shoot rifles at 100 yards or 150 yards on my porch or anywhere in between. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1549897644 There is dirt piled up behind it for added protection. Here is a video of someone using quick attach (on a bigger tractor than mine.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV5ATSWs2Jo |

I just got back from the surplus steel place. They did not have as much stock as they usually have and mild steel was up to .45 a pound. It was .31 last time I was there.
Still a good deal. I bought 206 pounds of it just under 100 with tax. I needed some ½ plate they had one piece left. I had the cut it for me and while I was getting other steel someone else tried to get my ½ piece. They stopped them and saved it for me. I hope to turn the steel into a quick attach for my backhoe bucket. The quick attach will be loosely based off this one. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550267922 https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550267922 And root ripper for my backhoe. The root ripper will be loosely based off this one. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550268584 A 16” bucket for my backhoe The Bucket will be loosely based off the OEM bucket. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550267922 |

The root ripper is ruff cut out.
https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550430130 https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550430130 It matches the bucket profile pretty well. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550454163 I refined the tip. |
Great looking bucket attachment
Pinball,
I really like the look of that piranah cutter attachment. I need to weld on another piece of steel onto the front of the bucket as it wears out fast. Mostly leveling my 1/4 mile gravel driveway. What is the price range for this? Thanks, Steve |
BXpanded has the tooth bars.
It has performed great. I have used it a ton. Very happy with it. https://bxpanded.com/ I just found this project where they made their own for a very low cost. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...tooth-bar.html |

It is closer. It needs just the top brackets and painted.
https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550771776 I found some 3/8" steel at the steel surplus today. Now I will be able to finish the root ripper. Backhoe Quick attach and the 16" bucket. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1550771776 |

I went to drill my holes for the pins and I did not realize the pins are nonstandard size.
I had to order a 30 mm hole saw carbide tipped. It will be here tomorrow. My quick attach plates are all cut out 3/8" plate the same size as the original. I hope I have the quick attach laid out where it will work well. I will tack weld the plates together before I drill so the pins fit well. I am not set up very well for cutting 1/2" and 3/8" plate so it is taking a while to get these projects done. I bought four weld on replaceable teeth for the new bucket. They are 156. I received points when when I bought my pallet forks. I was able to get 5 bucket teeth for $7.50 shipped by using my points from my other purchase. This was a great deal. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1551119564 https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1551119564 While I am waiting on my 30mm hole saw I started on my 16" bucket. I have the front ½" plate cut out the top sides 3/8" plate and the back plate 3/8" plate. I will cheat a little and I will use a 3 pipe on the top back so that will give me a good radius there. My over 11' surplus steel is now 7' long and being used up. It is a nice chunk of 3/8" steel. |
