5 Must Have Compact Tractor Attachments

Our friend Gary over at Tractor Talk With Gary asked me to do a video on the 5 most needed tractor attachements so I've done my best! Thanks for watching and God bless.

I am a new owner of an L2502. Came from a 60hp gear drive (with power shuttle) and I am THRILLED with the hydro. That was one of the requirements for my tractor "upgrade" and I have been completely satisfied and doubt I'd ever willingly go back to a gear drive. For me, giving up the little bit of extra PTO power was 100% worth the added convenience when using my grapple and forks. I was a little concerned going from 60 -> 25 hp but this little tractor has proven very capable.

Great tutorial Matthew. You really don't need a big tractor in most cases. My old Farmall does everything I need a tractor to do and it's I think 23 horse power. Y'all have a great weekend!

I'm so jealous of that little excavator! I would love to have one. But it would be purely a luxury item for digging holes in the yard! I have a 25 hp tractor as well and I think my order is; bucket, box blade, forks, bush hog and then grapple. Would like to add a snow pusher for when pickup/plow is down and maybe a posthole digger. But if I ever win the lottery (that I don't really play, lol!) I've always told my wife that I would buy all kinds of heavy equipment. Of course, she asks why, and I just tell her...to dig holes, duh! It's like having real life Tonkas, that's all I can really associate it with.

Very nice Mathew. You just put my video to shame.
I am 10 minutes into this video and we have to visit some friends tonight.
I will finish later and give you the thumbs up when I finish it.

I just bought a Kubota L2502 a few weeks ago. I've been using 40's and 50's tractors for a long time, big upgrade.

Hey Matt! Jim here from Chilo, OH. ( on the river ), I'm riding a 1989 B1750, if you're not afraid to rev the hpwr, it will perform! My two favarid upgrads are my carry all, you can add as much wait as you need, and what you might consider is a simple turn knob for steering wheel, a lot less movement fo the arms and hands, I all so have them on my two JD riding lawn mowers.GOOD TIMES MAN!

I was worried the tractor was too small but wanted to buy a new one with the budget I had. There are advantages with a small one around houses, so I rented it with the most important implement for me, the 5' brush hog and we gave the loader a workout while we had it. The tractor was awesome on the hilly land we need to create fire protection for every year and the loader is a lot better than a wheelbarrow and grades well in conjunction with the box blade/ scarifier. After the tractor price was decided with low-tier brush hog the salesman sweetened the deal with the higher-grade brush hog for the same price. Don't forget to get a couple of complimentary Kubota hats.

Very impressive if that compact tractor is pulling a 5' bush hog. I drove it, so I can confirm it is a nice one.

Thank you for doing this Mathew. You brought up some really great points. Both you and I are old school in our ways.
I also thought the 25 hp might be a bit lacking. Not so. It has exceeded my expectations quite a bit.
The manual transmission is a better fit for me than the hydrostatic. More power to the pto. More power to the ground. Possibly even more economical to run as it is not having to force hydraulic oil through those tiny little orifices.
I am like you. I don’t like the whine either.
Awesome job Mathew. Well done👍🏻👍🏻👏👏✊🏻🇺🇸

First time visitor. Nicely done. Love what you’re doing.

I had a neighbor with a JD he had a hydrostatic transmission had traded in for a manual. He’s old school like us. If I ever buy one it will definitely be a manual transmission. Great video definitely need the heavy bottom end to get the job done ! I think you need a beard balm that smells like two stroke 😄

[cswatson]

Thank you. About to buy a compact or sub compact tractor. This was helpful

[mrwillowwayranch]

Agree on all of the implements that you list and have all but the pallet forks and excavator. Have been hashing around the idea of buying a mini excavator. We have a Hudson Sawyer sawmill that I haven’t set up yet (waiting to get set up to pour a concrete pad for it) but am going to need the pallet forks when we get it up and going!

Great video! I needed a good chuckle. Congrats on smelling like a man. I'll send you a check and try it out. I like your implement list but I would add a grader blade (since I'm terrible at using a box blade) and an auger. I especially like your #1 attachment. Unfortunately, Mrs. Ozarks won't let me buy one before she has a place to live...

[peteshields]

Great vid Matt, l am looking at small tractors now myself.I was curious if 25 hp would get it done . I have a good size market garden a few animals and put up firewood for sale . Have a 75 hp farm tractor now but most of the time it’s over kill and just to big . I like that 2501 !

Great video Matthew! What is the brand of your tooth bar on your FEL? Thanks!

Great video. How often do you adjust the slip-clutch on the RCR1860 cutter? I am leaning towards the same cutter but with s shearbolt. Thanks

If i had hands that big, I would charge everybody I met a dollar, just to breath. GRIZ
