Aligning power and attachments

[pfrederi 18,670]

I am about ready to outshop the Electro 16.  This is part of my project to align the best power and implements and most importantly not have to change implements ever again or have to add subtract wheel weights and chains.!!!
( may need some more wheel weights)
The alignment I am looking at is as follows

Snow Plow 1       Charger 12            Hydro for speed and lifting blade limited slip transaxle (amazing ability to move snow)
Snow Plow 2       C120-8                  My back up and used by my neighbor (saves me having to clear his driveway)
Blower                 Electro 16             Was an electro 12 but with manual PTO need the HP for the blower, i prefer manual PTO for a blower to the sudden/violent engagement of electric
Grader Blade      Charger 10            Waiting addition of hydro lift
Tiller                   C-81-8                   Repowered with Magnum 12 can't beat 8 speed for tilling
Sweepster          C-175                    Well used Series 1 motor from a JD317 smokes on start up but for only a couple hours of use each year she will last....
48" Deck            418A                      With foot speed control
48" deck             C-175-8                 Some rough stuff 8 speed has advantages and is a good back up 
Sickle Bar            753                       Converted to 8 speed to better utilize the sickle
Trailer hitch        310-8                     2" reciever hitch for respotting big trailers has 8" fronts and new ags on the rear also hauls lawn sweeper
FEL                   D200                      Also has 5ft finish mower on the 3 point but rarely used for that
Maintenance Float
molld board plow  C141-8                Haven't used the mold board yet  May need ags for the C141
Duty Tractor       L107                    My favorite --hauls her wagon in the summer coal in the winter. Now has studs to make swapping the summer ags for the winter turf with chains easier
Restore project   Commando 8      Always seems to be deferred

Seems like you have every situation covered except.....riding in a parade!!
 You'll probably have to go out and find another machine for parade duty..  .

impressive!

502 repowered by 8 hp Kohler - lawn duty, 1 bottom plow, disc, anything else, lawn cart, rides with the kids on my lap

Simplicity 15.5 hp Kohler hydrostat - kid's rider, kid's apple picker stand, kid's pear picker stand, kid's lawn bogger when it rains a bunch, backup 38" deck if I blow a belt

plow trucks for snow and big hauling

I guess I need to clear your tractor list and make a wish list that I can prove we need more workers!

I have a similar arrangement with my tractors having certain duties to save being on the ground swapping attachments. It is ironic seeing as Wheel Horse stressed ease of changing attachments in their marketing! Gravely guys do the same thing!

Well we are getting older John and it's a long way down to reach the attach o matic knobs!

Its fun to see a member having a particular use and implement for each tractor.
