Amen on the steering wheel spinner. That should come from the factory on every tractor.

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@robertscott6215]

Great mirrors I got mine from Magnemirror on eBay I bought some with super strong magnets that are unbelievably strong and bought rubber coated ones for my new Kubota the magnets are not as ridiculously strong but work great don’t move around. First set I bought from China on eBay and they would move around when I would hit a bump (cheap) so I read up and Magnemirror has several different strengths for the mirrors and I’m telling you the 650lb range are worth the extra money I can tell by looking at yours that they are bigger magnets than yours and you said you upgraded your magnets to something stronger but to get an upgrade from the ones I got you’d have to electrify the magnets first time I removed the mirrors I thought they were glued to the tractor but it was just the magnets strength.

[@watershedoverlook]

@robertscott6215 That's awesome. Sounds like they might be too strong for an old guy like me to remove! 😉🤣 They sound like they might make it safe to leave the mirrors on when trailering. (I take mine off, just to be safe. Although once I forgot and they did stay put. 👍) Thanks for watching. 😎

[@RossOnTheLand]

Absolutely fantastic! Very excited to win! Thank you Chris. I really like your ratcheting side link. And of course the rear remotes. Nice video and thank you for the win you are a great friend and amazing for the community.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Yes in deed, Chris is THE BEST for the community 👍👍👌👌😇😇

[@tlm3574]

You had me till the $2000 rear remotes. Not only would the money stop me but the chief cause of water in the hyd. oil are remote hydralics. If you leave your tools outside or just the hydraulic expansion and contraction adds water and debris to the oil reservoir.

[@watershedoverlook]

Well...top four add-ons then. 😉👍

[@jdirt1982]

My best addition to my 2501 was pallet forks to move my 55 gallon drum of Astroglide around the ranch....

[@howardkettner]

Nice spin on the top 5. And, Yes! That steering wheel spinner. Would not be without it. Had missed it in my Top 5. When I was a kid, without power steering, it was a thumb breaker is one caught a front wheel on a stump or rock. Today, nuthin’ but upside. Nicely done. PS - thanks to you, I’m adding 4 bucket hooks. PSS - I’m your newest subscriber.

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for watching, subscribing and the kind words Howard...really appreciate the support. Yeah, that second set of hooks seemed like a no-brainer once I saw them in action! 👍😎

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Excellent list!!!!! I love the ratcheting side link!!!!

[@tclodfelter8789]

I like the hooks at the bottom of the bucket!!

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks, I can't claim the idea, but I've really loved having them there!

[@tclodfelter8789]

@@watershedoverlook Like you said...it increases your lift height by 2 feet!!

[@markcalhoun9480]

Yep. One of the first purchases I made...Steering Wheel Spinner. I grew up on the farm using these. I had to special order it from the Kubotoa dealer to get mine. My mirrors fall off when I hit ruts/bumps. I put a strap on them to hold them in place. Change your front headlights to LED bulbs! There is a Official ROPS light kit for the LX. You need to order the ratchet link under the "BX"

[@watershedoverlook]

Yeah, I love that spinner! With the upgraded magnets 🧲 I've had no problems (so far) with dropping the mirrors. As mentioned in the video, switching to LED headlights was the first thing I did. I considered the Kubota light kit, but opted for the DIY...brighter and more cost effective. Thanks for watching Mark! 👍😎

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I like your list Chris, I forgot to add my hooks on my honorable mentions, they are definitely handy to have. Congrats to Ross 👍🏻. Have a great week Chris 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks Luc...I agree, I use them a lot more than I thought I would! Have a great week!

[@davehudson4607]

I like the mirrors, got mine from 5 Eleven Designs, rubber coated magnets, they’re great, a must for me blowing snow in the winter, I also remove them whenever I trailer the tractor.

[@watershedoverlook]

Agreed. They are a BIG safety improvement when I'm out grading the road at the Overlook. Plus, really reduces neck soreness not having to keep my head on a swivel the whole time! 👍😎

[@MannistoCay]

I kinda figured that the remotes would be number one, the ratcheting side link is nice too. Cheers buddy congrats again on 1000! 🎉🌴🚜🍻

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks Mark...you guessed correctly! 😉😎👍

[@gatorsworld]

Congratulation for the win....Ross on the land. That was a great 5 extras on the tractor that was a good investment....CHEERS

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for the support Gator. 👍😎

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I bought one of those steering wheel spinners and a stocking cap when I bought my tractor. The dealer through in the tractor as part of the deal. 🤣 I don’t know if I have congratulated you on your 1000 subscribers milestone Chris. Well done Chris. Love your channel and the back and forth with you. As observant as you are, nothing gets by you , so we all need to get things right when you are watching🤣

[@watershedoverlook]

Lol...many thanks Gary!

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Congratulations on 1K ! Love your Top 5 Never thought about the bucket hooks that way makes total sense I really like the side view Mirrors and magnets idea and upgrade The ratcheting side link I must get !!!! Great Gift ideas and thanks for the ideas!!

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for watching, and all the support Phil! Glad you found some good info in this one. 😎👍

[@ryanlynch2259]

Seeing your rear remote lever askew… gives me such a headache 🤕.. we need to get to the bottom of that..!! Great video. Cheers buddy

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks Ryan! As to the lever situation...I have no clue!!! 🤔 Cheers. 🥃🥃

[@BeginnerforBSeries]

I like your approach to this "5 best", Chris. Nice to see the under $100. My favorite of yours is the hooks but also the location of the hooks located closer to the pin. Great idea! Congratulations on the 1000 subs. It's a huge accomplishment for sure. Congrats to Ross as well. Have a great weekend!

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback. Hope you have a great weekend as well! 👍😎

[@danielrapoza8468]

Chris great job on the 5+ add-ons video. Very nicely done. I like the budget minded slant you took. Congratulations on reaching 1K subscribers. Wishing you many thousands more in the near future!!! Dan 😊 PS: Congratulations Ross on the Win !!!

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for watching and the positive feedback Dan. Hope your recovery is progressing well. 👍

Congratulations on the 1000 subs Chris. Excellent choice of top 5 add-ons. Happy tractoring!

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks for watching! 😎👍

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I got the remotes installed at the dealer when I bought my tractor. I bought my tractor in December of 2017 and never used them until I got my grapple this spring. I didn’t get the 3rd function so I ran hoses to the back and open and close the grapple with the hydraulic lever beside the seat. It would have cost right around $1000 to install the 3rd function and I just couldn’t see spending that much money when it really wasn’t necessary. Having everything controlled from the joystick would be nice but after using my grapple for a couple hours, I think I have the operating pretty well down. Good job on the review Chris. I like your take on it.

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks Gary. If you have an open valve I HIGHLY recommend adding a hydro tip link! 😉👍

[@jhulin9018]

Excellent

[@russellbelliveau1694]

We’ll done, I would never have thought of the steering wheel spinner lol, use that all the time. Again, we’ll done ✔️ take care

[@watershedoverlook]

Thanks Russell! 👍😎

[@tclodfelter8789]

Front & rear remotes are STANDARD on Summit tractors, as is the self leveling bucket and loaded tires!

[@watershedoverlook]

Nice. Personally, I prefer a non-SLL, but thumbs up on the rest. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@bhall7997]

Bucket hooks I added jufabworks plate this spring It I use the trailer hitch moving log splitter in and out of shed. 😀

That fabworks plate is a great piece of kit! 👍

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Good morning Chris. I had never seen that ratcheting link before. That is a great idea.

[@watershedoverlook]

Yes, it's the next best thing to a hydraulic side link!

[@davehudson4607]

If you’re considering a Grapple, you certainly will enjoy the 3rd function on your loader! Cheers 🇨🇦

[@watershedoverlook]

Totally agree, Dave. Thanks for watching! 👍😎

Great idea of adding the two hooks on the bottom rear of the bucket! Thanks, Tim in northern TN
