This was made in my garage with scrap metal. The bucket detaches when not in use, allows for the front blade to work independently without bucket when it is not needed. Please like and subscribe to see all other attachments and implements for this garden tractor. Hope this helps with anyone looking for ideas! Feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks!

Garden tractor sleeve hitch , home made , DIY, easy built. This was built for about 70 dollars. It works great and has been a big help. The winch on the back is a 2,000 pound winch and moves any amount of weight easy! It came with a handle but I use a drill. It’s much faster and easy! I posted this hoping it would help anyone needing to build a sleeve hitch specifically for their needs. Hope th...

DIY , attachments, Front blade, rear grader blade, dirt buster , trencher. Home made This was a John Deere I bought used about 4 years ago. It has a Kohler 16hp Engine, K62 rear axle. This used the same drive unit as the garden tractor that was a notch above this at the time. The only difference was this one doesn’t have the lugs on the tires and tires are a little smaller. The 3 point hitch ha...
I like the 3 point
Yes Sir Nice job
Excellent idea, Brad! I think that I would substitute a 12 volt linear actuator for the drill/ winch setup that you have, that way I can wire a switch into the dash!
That’s a really good idea you have. Got me thinking.
Top notch redneck shit here! Kudos man!
nice.
You're a genius 😊
I came across a breaking plow, disk, and small cultivator for a garden tractor. Now I need a small garden tractor. My lawn mower has a hydrostatic transmission and I don't think it will last.
Mine also has a hydrostatic transmission. I have using it for odd jobs for years now with no issues. Do you know what rear axle it has? That’s what I would be mostly concerned with.
do you have all your measurements anywhere
I don’t have them listed, but I can if you would like me to share
Thanks for share! It´s a great improvment that you made for the tractor.
You don't mind sharing your design for the front blade? Thank you.
What specifically would you like to know? I will share any information to the best of my ability. Thanks
I like it 😊
Awesome idea Thank you
Can’t knock it that’s for sure. Well done.
My home made bucket cost me $25.00 in material and I have a separate snow plow blade like the one on this video. I'm still updating my 33 year old Pussy Cat Loader and if plan A did not work .. there is always plan B They say you cant teach an old dog new tricks, so I'm learning the hard way..
Good luck on your project! Let me know how it all goes. Hopefully all goes as planed. I know what you mean about teaching and old dog new tricks, I have to force myself to learn every single day lol. Thanks for watching!
Great mods ! Now you have time to learn how to weld. Good luck.
So you telling Me i can't just go out and buy one just like this one?
That's awesome. I need a welder. I took a welding class at communuity college before I joined the Marines. I have pondered about going to welding school again just to learn for home and farm use. Redneck ingenuity is built to last, I'll take that over any Crapsman today.
Lol so true about Redneck ingenuity! It may not be pretty but definitely works. Thanks for watching my video!
I like it
You needed this more on the front than the back... but I do agree it makes it much easier than having to twist around to operate. Great stuff.
The winch on the rear has a better ratio for lifting and lowering than the front winch which could do with a reduction or just a pulley block fitted to change it to a slower more controllable adjustment. This is a great system and I like the attachments you have which are similar to what I am looking to make for my ride on mower. I am wanting to make a rear towable blade attachment for leveling area and an edge cutting blade. Great stuff... thanks for the ideas.
Thanks for the comments. I continue to refine it little by little. Definitely has made work around the yard a little easier.
How are the actuators holding up a year later? I am looking at similar actuators on amazon. I worry that, with ground engaging implements, they might fail due to the forces involved in pushing a plow into the ground
I disconnected them this summer. They held up ok but we’re painfully slow and the range of motion was limited. I have went back to using the mechanical winch and weight for Down pressure.
Messing about with my Sears GT 3000, new to me Machine, adding a Sears Snow Plow for this rear and I like your Back Blade and Dirt Ripper ! I may use your design, Thank you. Subscribed and will watch more of your videos !
Thank you very much. I like the sears GT 3000.
Not pretty but a work horse I am sure it gets a lot of work done and cheap
Does great for what it is. Especially in a subdivision. Saves on my back lol. Have a great day
Hi Brad.. are you related to the Degraffenreids that used to live/work construction in Hawaii about 20 years ago?
Sorry for the late response. I don’t know if any but I am sure they have to be distantly related.
Nice
Thank you !
I wanna do this on my ATV 450 U THINK it possible 🤔?
Absolutely! Have any questions feel free to reach out.
I think you might want to add a brace in front of the winch, to form a triangle with the tractor frame. Maybe it's not visible but it looks like a lot of torsion stress on the one attachment point to the tractor.
I have added a brace not long after making this video. You are correct it’s a lot of torsion. I need to do an update on the pros/cons. Definitely doing some “along the way” engineering lol.
Any tutorials on how this was made?
I wish I would have taken video along the way. I have got a lot of use out of it though. Thanks for watching
What size steel did you use for this bucket attachment?
I bought a 1 foot by 20 foot 1/4 inch piece of steel. Luckily a friend needed some too, so we both took half of it.cost 80.00 “my half”. Probably could have went with something not as think and been fine. I just wanted to make sure it had enough strength to hold up to the impacts of running up under soil/material
Thank you! I'm going with 3/16th steel. Thank you for replying. I will ne making mine the same way. You did an awesome job btw
Super job une superbe réalisation nicework nice Idea 👍👍
Gracias por ver mi vídeo. Espero añadir más vídeos este verano.
@@braddegraffenreid9106 👍
Super travail. Il y a de l'idée. Nice job
This is life changing for me!!! Thank you!!!
It has changed my life too
I think it is awesome thanks for sharing
Nice job!
Thank you.
still waiting on the videos showing it in use :)
What kind of switch did you use to control the actuators?
I doubt them on Amazon. Do you want me to post the link?
Thank you, I'll find them
Thats a dope ass setup bro
Any follow-up video for this?
I haven’t loaded anything yet. I have added one brace for support also painted it. I used it recently to move a lot of dirt around and it worked great… for what it is anyways. I had a Kabota tractor clearing a lot of dirt for a driveway I just did. I was able to scoop a lot of the dirt around the edges and from a pile I made with the other “bigger” tractor.
very cool Idea, subscribed to see more thumbs up
Thank you!
Clever way to fill those tires, and use of winches. What would we do without HF?
Hell yeah buddy 👍
This is fantastic. I love seeing things like this, especially the DIY stuff… gives me inspiration for my setup.
Thank you Michael! I appreciate it a lot!
Brilliant man!!
I'm not a mechanic, but this video has opened up a world, as it seems, to dive into my rider project. Though it'll be modified, both, front and rear blade harnesses of this video contain enough mechanical engineering for my husquavarna, using metal remnants around my shop, including using my old toro snow thrower hitch/underside parts, etc. If and when I'm savvy enough, I might post the results on utube. Thx Brad!!
Thank you! Yes if you do post anything in the future please let me know. I enjoy seeing what different people come up with. It’s been a handy tool the last couple of years that’s for sure. Thanks again for the feed back.
Good idea! nice job!
Thank you!!
Don't buy this guys used tractor. Very cool though! It's like a Swiss Army knife of a lawn tractor.
That’s funny. “Swiss Army knife of lawn tractors”. I like that.
@@braddegraffenreid9106 Red neck? That does look red neck. That's not necessarily bad thing. You know that name came from farmers getting sunburns on the back of their necks. That didn't happen from laying around the pool, but from being out in the field all day! PEACE!
I like it I have John Deere 160 24 hp I look to do some Ideas thanks
Yes that 160 would be a great Machine to use. Have a great day!
Great work, you have me some ideas.😀
You have some great ideas, good work
Thank you! And thanks for the encouragement.
