Nice setup,you got there Rider!
Iโm a little surprised your flatbed trailer has a 2โ ball. My 16โ one is 2 5/16โ and I assumed any trailers that size would be. Is it commercially made or home built?
With trailers and/or property, a tractor sure is nice to have. Mineโs a little larger (~3500 lbs) and the first week I owned it I built a hitch that attaches to the bucket. Iโve only ever moved smaller ATV/snowmobile trailers around with it though. Iโm lucky enough to have a brother-in-law who likes to fabricate stuff. He built a 5 tine, 5โ wide, 5โ long brush rake that replaces the bucket. He also built a quick hitch so itโs only 2 pins to do it.
My next project is a receiver hitch attachment that pins on my mini excavator in place of the bucket. That will make moving those trailers a breeze. Last year I uncoupled the cargo trailer from the truck camper and parked it, without moving the truck. I used the safety chains hooked onto the excavator bucket. It worked but wasnโt as easy to guide.

Great video, I have a little Kobota 2660 and love it. You mentioned Quick hitch a few times, That's not a QH. A QH is Awesome to change out implements quickly, if your attachment are compatible

Awesome, now I have an excuse to get a tractor!!
I've seen similar on RV dealer lots. The tighter turning radius and low speed in 1st gear really gives you a lot of control to squeeze into difficult spots.

New toy? Did someone say "New Toy"?
It has been worth every penny!
RV related: It's a ford gas tank moving tool:
Remainder of Motorhome fuel pump replacement project...
I built a stabilizer & square receiver on top of the drawbar to use a ball mount. No pics, but it sure works well. These are available commercially, but I had the material & time to do my own.
Here's an example:

Some of my neighbors have these. I watched one plow some snow with a back blade attachment and it made me jealous.

I enjoyed your video. I love my sub-compact, but I know there are additional things it can be doing for me that I haven't used it for yet. I'm hoping to build a new crushed stone parking pad for my motorhome this spring and look forward to putting that bucket to use. Although, I'm a bit east of you in middle TN, and my land doesn't have one flat spot on it...so I'm learning that retaining walls are my best friend. ๐
