So you really want a tractor?

[SledderSteve]

I hear tales of a certain 5-Star kind of guy working out of Port Yamaha who could really use these on his Grizzly. http://www.itptires.com/agkits.html

Maybe Kevin will provide more details about Mini-Mike and his mud wallowing Grizzly.

 

[MrSled]

Yes we need some pics of that Monster

 

[Port-Parts]

I hear ya. I'm in the market for a digital camera so I can get some pics of 5-Star and the yahoo gang in action. In the meantime I will try to get some still shots around the shop of mine and 5-Star's Grizzly's with our shop camera. 5-Star thinks his wide tires (28x12x12 on all 4) are the ticket to float on top of the muck.

 

[MrSled]

You tell 5-star to get hi but on this site with his friends

Can you imagine the axle problems with those? Superior traction and HEAVY! Where's the front end loader and bale of hay? :ORC

 

[SledderSteve]

Gorilla axles are certainly in order. http://www.gorilla-axle.com/gorilla_axl ... te_004.htm

You can get the front end loader here. http://www.swisherinc.com/dump_bucket.html

The forklift attachment is probably better for hay bales though. http://www.swisherinc.com/forklift.html

SledderSteve, you have got to be frickin kidding me! :shock: I wouldn't believe it if I never seen the picture. WOW! I might just think of getting the bucket instead of the blade. Are they much heavier than the blades I wonder?

 

[SledderSteve]

Silver,

The only problem with using the bucket for blade work is you can't angle it to direct material flow to the side. I used to clear snow with my skid steer loader and while I could make cool snow piles I couldn't work near as fast as with a blade. My Kodiak gets snowplow duty now.

That bucket does look cool though, I first saw one at the Farm store next to the sprayers http://www.fimcoindustries.com/atv.htm

I really need to stop hanging around Farm stores. :lol:

 

[yamahaman]

lol that bucket is goofy looking! well i guess it will get the job done if you need it.

 

[SledderSteve]

I agree yamahaman, if you're going to have a shovel get a real one.

It's not pretty but it gets the job done.
