Cattail Removal- Using A Front Mounted Grade Blade on a Tractor

[@fuzz1500]

I rented an excavator last time I did this same task . Good job coming up with an alternative to try ! Been enjoying your vids..catching up on all of them !

[@TripleTAcres]

Thanks pal! I’m always looking for alternative ways to get some tasks done around the property. Sometimes renting the excavator is the answer for sure. I appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@fuzz1500]

For as much as our tractors cost...we need to think of every single way to utilize them ! I agree 100% ! Looking forward to more content !

TBH, I didn't think you were gonna get out the first time!!

[@TripleTAcres]

Haha! I didn't either. I almost slid in sideways a few times off camera. I had to throw in the towel until it dries out some.

Way to use what you got!!! Good thinking. Maybe time to get some AG tires, and put them backwards for this yearly task.

[@TripleTAcres]

Thanks brother! Great idea!

[@jimmywarren6685]

Get some good ballast for the back tractor (800lbs)and that will work well for the cattails!

they make 3 versions of the 3point to SSQA adapter the one that is heavy duty is $429 at your door. it was cheapest on amazon. i also gut the toplink horseshoe adapter and have the top link hook on the bench in my shop. my tractor is 50hp and 6700 lbs so i needed the heavy one

[@rikkilee9409]

i did the same thing but the landscape rake worked better if you have one

[@TripleTAcres]

I agree. The rake would have worked better. That’s one attachment I need to get for sure.

[@Lets-do-this-]

Kabota is skid steer quick attach

[@TripleTAcres]

Some of the newer ones are but most don’t have the SSQA.

[@rikkilee9409]

tractor supply had a 7 foot landscape rake so i just got a cheap one. $1000 or so i think

Not sure what state you live in. You can get in alot of trouble in certain states doing this. I think it's ridiculous but laws are laws. Just a FYI. Looks alot better without them

[@TripleTAcres]

It’s legal in my state. That seems ridiculous if that’s the case in other states. Then again I’m on private property. I imagine those laws are there for people living on a public lake. Technically the state would own the plant at that point. Good looking out! And thanks for the comment!
