[QUOTE="Blacksheep, post: 120425, member: 21955"] My attachment is the simplest of all and works so well! Go to a tire store that repairs tractor tires and get the biggest rear tire you can find they are usuallly free! (this last time i found an 18x48". Take the blade of a saber or sawsall saw and sharpen it till its like a knife. Drill a hole in the sidewall just where the lugs begin to start and cut out both sides to remove the beads.....get 3 18" piesces of pipe and weld a big nut on each end....get six bolts and 12 washers to match. then push the centers together and bolt the first pipe at the midpoint with a washer on each side of the rubber the threads into the pipe.....at the 1/4 and 3/4 distance put in the other two pipes. Now add six foot of chain and a loup or clevis to catch the rear hitch on the skidsteer; Pull this rubber hotdog behind the machine and you will find it will pick up material inside the long loup and then drop it again as you pass over low spots.....works really well moving rock and gravel and dirt. Best part is its totally free except for the metal bits. Won't wear out in your lifetime and the two remaining rings you can flip upside down around your trees or flower beds for a edging that wont let weeds grow but won't damage the mower either. If going around existing trees you can't set it over cut the bead and the rubber like a puzzle piece and lay it down then put a small plate and two screws to lock it in place. try it you can use a car/pickup/lawn tractor, 4 wheeler anything with enough pull to move it and drag that road to perfection [/QUOTE]
