My friend has a John Deere tractor, diesel with a 25 HP engine. He has bucket and fork lift attachments.
I had a bucket on my big tractor and a back blade. It was really useful. I think the front bucket that fits my tractor has around a 1000 pound capacity. I'd have to get the back tires filled with sand or get some other attachment to hang off the back. I wonder if I could get a block heater or something so I could use it for snow.
