Hey gang,
Okay, I may be getting ahead of myself here....since I won't have a tractor until tomorrow....but, while I've got these questions in my head, I thought I'd ask them now. After tomorrow I may not have time to sit at the PC cause I'll hopefully be working on the tractor. Oh, btw, the tractor my questions are about is a YM 240D with 3pt and pto.
Okay, first, is there a BH that will work on my tractor...and work relatively well. I really only want to use it for trenching mostly. Is there one that any of you guys recommend and can they be found used? Anybody in northern Cal know of any used units or dealers that may sell used equiptment like this? Same question about augers and wood splitters. I'll be in the market for these attachments fairly soon after getting the tractor home.
My other question has to do with saftey. I saw a pic of a tractor a little while back....and it looked like it had a clinometer..or inclinometer, depending on which side of the tracks your from. Anyway, it didn't look anything like the cheezy units we put in our 4X4's up here and are the first thing we take our anger out on when we bust an axle or u-joint. So, does anyone use them on tractors here? Our property is steeper in some places than others, and I can't even guess at the degree of steepness or angle, I'm just no good at it. But, I'd sure feel better, I think, if I had something like that on my tractor. I'll be using the ROPS that comes with the tractor although not installed yet but just want to get your ideas on what to use if they are used at all. And also, is there way to figure what my particular tractor and me on it can safely tackle as far as tilt? I'm probably not using the correct termonolgy at all, but I am sure you guys know what I'm talkin' about....I don't wanna tip my tractor on the side, let alone roll it belly up. Any help on this stuff is appreciated.
