60” 4-1 bucket. A lot of people told me not to waste the money but I figure for me it’s a true multi purchase tool. I was told not to get the backhoe either by a lot of people but I use it so much I haven’t taken it off. Plus the weight really plants the tractor.

If you get efficient with a 4in1 bucket, you can bite up a smashed aluminum can off of concrete with it. They have so many uses. Use the back part of the blade for cutting and grading and you can see how deep you’re cutting, while the front part kinda keeps it from going to deep. They’re a wonderful addition to a tractor.

Also, careful biting logs that are much smaller on one end than the other. You’ll get yer bucket jaw jacked and it’ll be outta square . Course I’m sure you know this

I have borrowed one. Lightly used at auctions here they run between 800-1000. They have teeth on the front edge and that kinda kills the effects of it. I'd like to have one but I get more use out of my grapple bucket.



Although I did have the guy offer to trade his for my grapple. But his is 60" as well and my tractor is just shy of 70 wide. And a 72 or 76 are close to $3500.

Want I’ve been doing today is grabbing 1-3” pines and pulling them straight up. Then I would pile them up and grab them and take them right to the burn pile.
 
Nice Score!
Hard not to get excited about the 4-1!
Pretty darn efficient!
I just run a regular loader, but have a nice set of grabbers.
 
I want one of the grapples and a backhoe for mine but I think that I’ll just buy a new tractor with a little more HP. Mine’s only 35 HP and my big bush Hog is on the low end of the power band. I also want heat and air and a stereo. That also means a new trailer. She says I can’t have everything…she cute like that.

Put the 4 in 1 bucket to work on the 4335 Massey today. Hard to imagine the work I’d have had to do without it. 60 acres of deer land with trees down everywhere from a micro burst. Fantastic purchase. You’ll never regret it.

Mine always says if you’ve got the money you can have it.

Sad part is all the things I want are so danged expensive now, she knows there is no threat.
 
Nice pick up. Local people I know who have one love it. I picked up an Everything Attachments 6’ Land Plane locally this past Friday. Hopefully a grapple will be in my future.

Mine hates to leave me unsupervised with the checkbook! I love toys and have always subscribed to the age old adage the “ He who dies with the most toys win!” 🤣😂

Wow, I don’t know how I got by without this bucket.
Worth every penny. BTW I’m pushing 80hrs already on the tractor.
@LeeMajors @Spekter
How many hrs y’all at?

Im at 50hrs as of last week. Have had to take a few weeks of here and there....but i did manage to clear a 3/4 mile track around the property and have built the berm up to a respectable height (~8-10 ft) and in a u-shape....about 20 yards or so long.
 
Just did a new no drill grill guard😎
Put a limb through the plastic grill last week so I decide I needed something
 
I had a buddy weld a grille guard on, came out great. I'll post a pic in the next day or two
 
My 07 BX24 has unknown hours. Can't read it due to yellowing of the lens.
Have new complete instrument cluster due to a crack in the lens, just never put it on.
Dealer said they couldn't transfer existing hours to it.
I'm thinking about trading for a new one once I retire in February.
