My 3 Point Hitch Setup

You'll be working within the limitations of your sub-compact box blade capability with "hard" soil conditions. But, cutting blade angle, speed, ripper shank use, and perhaps lastly, added weight to box blade for attempted down-pressure are in the equation of learning its capability.

You will find what soil conditions justify your time & attention. Patience in timing with soil conditions is a virtue.

 

take the tailgate off?

 

Doesn't look like an option here.
The pre CJ5 agriculture jeeps had to remove the tailgate but the CJ5 changed it up to allow the rear seat to stay or a load to be in the bed.

Either way you are not up and above like an open station tractor.

 

Picked up one of these but need to get some sway arms

 

Needs a bucket up front.

 

Dang it, send pictures of that bucket

 

I was just moving the bucket for a Farmall 806D.
I dropped the plow blade tossed a steel rod thru all the lower mounts and chained the top.

I tried scooping a 1/4 bucket. It dug well but lifted the rear wheels up when I went to back out. If the bucket were shorter with less arm it would have been fun... well as much fun as manual steering is.

 

mustbe fun on the highway

 

Improver the boom
Added a winch to my boom hoist. Makes it easier to lift things into my trailer or into a pickup now



Welded on a 2” receiver and made a mount for the winch


Attached the battery and control cable

It’s a 3500# winch. Boom is good for 1000# only

Makes it pretty long View attachment 4008379

 

Now you gotta figure out how to keep the trailer hitched up to the jeep so you can jack knife the trailer to the side. Lift the load. Straighten everything up. Drop the load and hit the road.

Don't forget we have this thread going:

Oh also please attend all local swap meets. You will know everyone by the end of the show

 

You sir a a genius. I would of never thought of trying that.
