Here's a link to a list of all the stuff I mention in this video, so you can easily find what you need: amzn.to/3yFRFMj.

The reason oil filters can be so hard to get off the first time is that they are fitted before the tractor is painted in the factory and so get a layer of hard dry paint that you have to break through :)
A spud wrench doubles as an adjustable wrench and an alignment tool. Spare shear pins for your rotary cutter are handy if you don't have a slip-clutch machine. You pretty much covered it all, and I like your easy going style.
The lock n lube for grease guns is a most excellent device. Any nlgi 2 grease will do. I have yet to find a funnel I actually like for filling up my tractor with hydraulic fluid. And boy was it a surprise when I learned pulling the hydraulic filter included 10 gallons of fluid change necessary, that wasn't mentioned in the manual... Definitely need to find one of those 10 gallon oil pans 😅 I run a large gap tire sealant in the front after needing to plug the tire once. Haven't had an issue since, can't say for sure if that's the sealant or no issues. But a plug kit is always a solid choice to have around, have one in every vehicle.
It's not just a tractor, it's a life "tool-style" ;-) Solid advice. Some next level goodies... Some heavy duty poly lift-straps with loops on both ends about 8' long each. Lifts loads w/o damaging paint and far easier than chains for all but the heaviest duty jobs. The "spud wrench" which is like one of the tools you mentioned, but with the pointed end for lining up attachments and the crescent wrench end to adjust nuts, lift arms, etc. A 30+ quart oil/fuel catching can for DIY fluid changes. And a tractor seat cover so you don't put holes in your seat when you have all these tools in your back pocket! Just sayin'... for a friend!

Nice list! While maybe not essential, a torque wrench is nice to have if trying to stick to factory recommended torque levels on bolts.
Great list of essentials. A fire extinguisher and a first aid kit are also nice to have on the tractor. Enjoyed the video.
Man! I totally should add those to the list! I was just looking at a spare fire extinguisher and noodling over how to attach it to the tractor
Great video brother. I keep a 5 foot pry bar and rubber mallet by the tractor because I refuse to buy a quick hitch like everyone else.

I was JUST trying to find some straps like that to move a couple things around!
Good list, I ordered a few of them or comparables.
I like my not a fuel containers 😂
I need to label them as "Definitely NOT fuel" to keep the Feds happy
If you own a LS tractor, the FIRST thing you need is a friend that loans money.
You're a real pleasure to have around, ain't ya?
@@HomesteadBandwagon Yes I am, I've helped lots of "Farmers" over the last 70 years.
@JohnDoe-ny1wp impressive. Glad I met a fella who knows a lot of stuff
@@HomesteadBandwagon You're welcome.
