Good friends are a God send. Great video Jon, thumbs up.

[@jh9855]

Nive video! Amazing how one BX tractor can change a yard.

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

I need a stump bucket. Nice work Jon.

[@ritterjon]

I prefer it to the backhoe sometimes because it’s so much more maneuverable. Keep on tractoring!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Poor little tractor! Orange abuse!😂good video 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@ritterjon]

Orange abuse? Keep on tractoring!

[@HomesteadJay]

Jon! Great video! If it was easy id bring the tractor everywhere I went too hahah good on you for helping out!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Jon if I had a neighbor like you, I wouldn’t have needed to buy a tractor. Nicely done!

[@vinnygallo2669]

Amen to that!! Lol he’s always ready to help he’s a great neighbor

[@ritterjon]

Well Ed, as much as I like you as a friend I’m glad we’re not neighbors! Could you imagine your life without a tractor? 🤷‍♂️ Keep on tractoring!

[@ritterjon]

Thanks Vinny! 😊

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Nice work day on the Kubota. The front and side teeth on the Artillian stump bucket seems to cut right through those roots. -Chad

[@ritterjon]

Had a great day! This was this morning even, got home, edited and published. Feeling accomplished! 👍 Keep on tractoring!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

@@ritterjon Wow - you're fast! Same day shooting, editing, posting!

[@ritterjon]

@@PurpleCollarLife It’s a rare occurrence! Wife ran errands up town and like a good dad I made my kids watch tv in the basement.

Artillian Stump bucket is the perfect proportion for compact tractors, not too big, not too long. I welded mine to a blank SSQA plate and keep the double grapple on the frame full time. Artillian isnt the perfect system, but it works real well.

[@ritterjon]

Yes, it is just the right size for the BX and B series. Those longer stump bucket just don't give you the leverage you need. Keep on tractoring!

[@BackyardMaine]

I have a subcompact tractor too. I just need a lot more attachments..

[@ritterjon]

Never enough! Keep on tractoring!

[@ryanvalleyirrigation9684]

Hello jon love the videos.

[@ritterjon]

Thanks Ryan! I appreciate you watching! Keep on tractoring!

[@wildbill23c]

That Artillian stuff is very expensive...I'll keep digging out stumps by hand, yeah well, maybe the 1 or 2 stumps I end up with every decade or so LOL. The pallet forks I got are the Titan, the only negative is they don't have the 2" receiver hitch in the frame, but I can live without that as I have the 3 point receiver hitch which seems to work just fine for my applications. I like how Artillian uses the same frame for the forks, grapples, and the stump bucket. I really don't have enough use for the grapple, or the stump bucket to have justified paying 2.5x more for the pallet forks/frame. I have, however found many uses for my pallet forks already...those were one of the high priority purchase items on my checklist and when my dealer fell through on them, I knew I needed to get a set ASAP as I had stuff sitting in the way in my shop I had to move to better organize it after the tractor decided to move in and take up 1/4 of my shop space HAHA!! I palletized my roto-tiller...that's a chore all in itself trying to keep that thing from moving around and trying to fall forwards or backwards....its now chained to the pallet LOL. Dealer also fell through on the 60" mid mount mower so I'll have to scrounge around and try and find one by next spring....pretty sure that I paid for a mower in the $26k bill I have but of course the salesman never really wrote down everything like he should have so I don't have a paper trail to prove anything unfortunately so I'm out the $2500 for the mower and the $750 for the pallet forks. I did pickup a quick hitch, but its not exactly very useful when 1/2 your implements/attachments aren't quick hitch compatible...2 of them I don't have any way to make them compatible...the box blade supposedly was but it wasn't, I had to modify it to be compatible...the roto-tiller is the only thing I have that was actually factory built to be compatible with the quick hitch, and that quick hitch isn't very quick unless whatever you are installing or removing is on nice flat ground, otherwise you'll most likely end up with a mess like I had last week where only 1 of the pins engaged on the box blade, the other one was misaligned, talk about a pain trying to get that box blade back off so I could hook back up to it again. I cleaned off a concrete pad that I have out in my corral by my shop so I can use it to install and remove implements/attachments...so now that quick hitch works as designed LOL. Your scaffold implement/attachment storage solution is a great idea, too bad I only have 1 implement/attachment on it...I usually leave my box blade on the tractor as I use it and the loader most of the time, and the box blade usually works for ballast for most of my loader chores....if I use the pallet forks to move my roto-tiller I have to add weights to the box blade otherwise the tractor will tip over. I have 4 MTD suitcase weights for my lawn tractor's snow blower setup, so I throw them on the cross members of the box blade for additional rear ballast for lifting heavy stuff....works extremely well. I thought about buying a ballast box, but it would just be something else to have in the way, where the box blade is already here and I can add weight to it as needed. I think I may pickup a rear blade eventually, hopefully this spring. I picked up a sub-soiler from Tractor Supply a while back, but took the sub-soiler 2" blade off it and put a potato furrower plow blade on it and use it as a ditcher to keep the ditch out behind my shop cleaned out...worked very well for that, and I can switch back to the sub-soiler blade if I need to re-corrugate the pasture area back there. Edging slowly closer to the 25 hour mark...probably won't hit the 50 hour service mark till spring, at least I'm hoping...I don't have anywhere to do that service work in the dead of winter.

[@jjacres129]

Good video Jon to make scooping out of the pile easier drag some off the top first to get full buckets then

[@ritterjon]

I used that method several times but I don’t think I got any footage of it. A trick I learned from Mr. Morgan. Keep on tractoring!

[@troyeager8877]

I'm glad another one of my channels I whach mentioned you. Some how you got removed from my subscribed list.

[@ritterjon]

Glad you found your way back. KZbin messed up a bunch of subscriber lists. Don’t know what the deal is. GWT👍 Keep on tractoring!

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Jon! Well done! It’s always rewarding to help out friends. Looks like Artillian has made some real improvements to their stump bucket! Thanks for sharing! KOT!

[@joelongrid7625]

Great stump bucket with the added serrations for cutting and grabbing. I heard a train and saw the tracks. Makes me wonder if it is BNSF or CP nearby.

[@ritterjon]

Those track are double and I see more CP than BNSF. Lot of grain hauling going on now. Keep on tractoring!

[@BiffsEquipment]

Great video Jon! Your gonna love that new stump bucket! You did a great Job for them, I enjoyed watching the loader work and the kids always make me laugh haha

[@nelsonsr.jenking725]

Nice work Jon !! It surprises me that you don't remove the mower deck when you are using the front end loader .

[@ritterjon]

I used to, I’m just getting sick and tired of doing it. I need a zero turn. I need to mow my yard soon so leaving it on was easier. Keep on tractoring!

[@tractorman4461]

Now that was a fun video meeting your friends and the kids !! Ya done good with the stump bucket as well as spreading rock for the new 'too small' shed !!

[@billfenner7084]

I hope that your financial committee knows what you have .

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good job Jon

[@ritterjon]

Thank you Hank! Keep on tractoring!

[@MannistoCay]

Hey Jon have a great weekend, Turkey weekend up here north of you. Thankful for folks like you. What size is your trailer?

[@ritterjon]

Happy thanksgiving weekend neighbors to the north! Keep on tractoring!

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

Had to use the new toy. Could have been done with your backhoe.

[@steveashworth6707]

Excellent job Jon!, I love the stump bucket! I'm going to get one of them for my bobcat.

[@Sean_Hartley]

This video makes me want to just go out and dig up my property to have tractor time! Thanks for sharing. Great job on this project.

[@ritterjon]

Thanks! I love digging holes in other peoples yards. Keep on tractoring!

[@vancasdorph3951]

The stump bucket seems handy. How would it do on bigger stumps? For small ones why not pull them out with a chain?

[@ritterjon]

Pulling them out with a chain wouldn't work because the BX might have the power but just doesn't have the weight to overcome traction loss. Keep on tractoring!

[@khtractors]

Excellent job! Those new stump buckets look nice! I think you’ve been taking loader lessons from Biff’s Equipment!

[@ritterjon]

It’s hard to compete with Biff, that guy is good with the FEL! I try to make it look good and edit out my mistakes. 😂 Keep on tractoring!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I’m sure Tristan had a blast driving the tractor with you 👍🏻, nice improvements by Artillian on the stump bucket 👍🏻. Have a great Sunday Jon 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@ritterjon]

Thanks Luc! Tristan was a great co-pilot! He had fun operating the FEL! Keep on tractoring!

[@chdinct6792]

I’ll be doing the same job in a few weeks. 10 x 16 shed coming so I can move my BX25 from the open carport to an enclosed shed. Put 6x6 PT to define the pad. Still need to lay landscape fabric then the gravel. Nice job on that stump using the stump bucket.

[@watershedoverlook]

Hey, that's not an aluminum trailer!!! Projects with friends are always better! Nice jobs always Jon. 👍😎

[@ritterjon]

It was the easier one to access since this one hasn’t sold yet. In fact my buddy Andy might be interested! Keep on tractoring!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Some nice to be able to help out your friends and neighbors. This is perfect timing too as this is Canadian Thanksgiving and this sure is a great way to give thanks!! Looks good on you too Jon!!! Take care!!!

[@ritterjon]

Happy thanksgiving weekend to one of my favorite Canadians! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Keep on tractoring!
