That one looks built heavy. I ended up buying a used blade. The new ones just seemed thin.

Thanks for info. There wasn't really much online about them when I was 1st looking at blades. Looking around I could only find imco and king kutter for sale online which made me hesitant. Looking at new blades at dealers they seemed thin and not very well curved. You get what you pay for but...

Mine is an imco. Ppl say it's light duty, but seems about the same as the dearborn I had. It's probably not extremely heavy duty, but sure a lot thicker than the in store brands. I'm pretty sure mine was used as an offset......new bolts and nothing is rusted up. Kind of a chore to do but still...

Great idea with the spear and looks like a factory option.

Played around with and adjusted some attachments I bought today

I ended up buying the forks. Enough guys on the ag forums convinced me to haha. They said they use them more than their fel forks. For 150.00 I figured I'd get use out of them between moving logs, moving pallets, making a carry all, animal mover, and a sprayer.

I offered the person 150.00 cash as these go for 50, 100, 150 at auction. They said okay, but now I'm waiting on their realitive to get back to me on a time and place. So see what happens.

Very good way looking at it. When I was a landscape foreman I was trained that " this is how it has to be done, a,b,c way" over the years working with all age groups, and skill levels I discovered there isn't a " cut and dry" way of getting the jobs done. A kid would put his own twist on a task...

I do have enough saved to get an okay off brand from a dealer, but at the moment I'm looking for a better rear blade for grading and snow removal.......something that'd be used more. Figured maybe try the rear forks and see how it goes and could upgrade to the front forks.

Those were all thoughts I had too about the width adjustment and being able to to dig down to get undersomething. I thought of getting a wooden crate and making a door or removable side for hauling whatever or putting a sprayer or water tank on a pallet. Pros and cons to each but your advice...

At the moment I can't justify loader forks........or think I'd have a lot of use for them after this project........even though I read once you have them you'll wonder why you didn't gry thrm sooner.......and no I don't want clamp on or amazon forks. I found a 3 pt bale mover for cheap on...

Thanks for all the info. Running my grading blade plowing snow and then using the box blade I could see a huge difference in weight/traction and left the box blade on for loader work. I got the r4's because I mow lawn with this tractor. 1st winter using the tractor, no weight, or fluid, and...

I'm in the market for a med grade rear blade. I had an auction blade I repaired and used but wasn't 100% happy with it. I have a box blade I used in some snow and was happy with the results but it was slow. I'm looking to spend 800.00 to 1200 on a blade. It'd be mostly for snow work so just...

Nice set up and plates are still available. Many guys around here find older 4 row planters for 500.00 to 1000 and make 2 or 1 row planters then sell them for double. I was lucky to get into a trading agreement to get my ih 2 row

My dealer pretty much gave me the quick hitch for my lx2610. Honestly I could do with out. Growing up none of the real farm tractors had a quick hitch so hooking up 3 pt imp is just second nature. My land pride tiller is the only item that actually is quick connect for it but I still need to get...

I use to buy machinery at a consignment auction, put tires on it, parts, paint, and resell it. I enjoyed it as a hobby and met some nice ppl. For 2 years I had great luck ppl keeping in contact with me showing up on time ect. The last 2 years now just every doh duh under the sun must have...

A wanted ad on facebook or market place might help. I never thought much of " lazy ads" but after getting sick of looking every single day and night I posted an ad for a certain tractor I was looking for. I asked for a picture or 2, and breif details. I actually had ppl respond. 1/5 actually...

Thanks. I try to document what's going on around my little farm.

They make 1 bottom trailer plows already. They might save you even more money or might be do able pulling. Biggest thing is the trip mechanism. If it doesn't work more than likely it's old grease in there or a busted spring
