Kendo 2 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Why do you need a front-end loader? And do you get hay forks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Why do you need a front-end loader? And do you get hay forks?I have 10 acres of land to farm and this is the right-size tractor for the job. This tractor cannot handle round or large square hay bails even if an attachment was added. Here are some of the things I have in mind for the FEL (more idea will probably come after I start using it and getting more familiar with what it can do)Move / create / flatten dirt piles...this is a back saver and in my case, I life saver (nearly died not too long ago trying to shovel 3 loads of dirt and lay 7 pallets of grass in a single day)Maintain my driveway (only need to pay for the dirt / gravel to be dumped in my yard)Install or Remove fence T-posts with EXTREME speed and no back pain at the end of the day (to remove posts, I plan on welding a couple of hooks on the bucket so I can use chains for lifting)Moving small bales of hay (that my land produces currently)Move my remaining dirt pile to my shooting range to serve as a backstop.Dig out a spot for my soon-to-be pool. (my land is pure blackland soil...at least 10 feet down, no rocks...easy digging)LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
