My favourite is the Philmac type water pipe fittings. They are a gift compared to the old way when we used a vice grips and stillson wrench along with PTFE tape to seal the joints.

The pick up hitch on a tractor was a great invention. Younger people going "what? ". Well our last tractor didn't have one.
The humble bale handler is a great job too. Love the simplicity of it.

1. The double bale handler - When combined with a front grab on the loader, it's the quickest way to draw and stack, assuming a short draw.
2. Post driver. IMO fencing improvements always yield a dividend far greater than the financial return on investment. For me, a post driver now means that I no longer have limitations around driving strainers, which was always a weak point.

I finally caved and bought a mini digger a few years ago.
THE.BEST.THING.EVER!

It's the Swiss Army Knife of the place now.
Spends only a fraction of its time with a bucket on actually digging; loading stuff, unloading stuff, mobile crane, straightening bent things, moving things around, moving things back again, the list is endless.

Surely it has to be the transport box (linkbox).

5 tonne zero-swing.

Big enough to be properly useful, small enough to fit into tight spots without pulling the place down.

A loader for the tractor or any kind of loader really I think.

Hagimalone

Power box here

Trailed topper for me, speed and great end product

The bale feeder we got 2 years ago. Dad woudln't be without it now, he has 2 replaced hips, and forking silage to 9 bays of cattle wasn't really an option after getting the second one done. From October to April, its hardly ever taken off the back of the tractor.

Wouldn't be without the loader either.

The sheer versatility of a loader it really is the most used item round our place.

Out of interest - what sort of things does it do for you? Do you have everything left on pallets to be moved around or what?

Lifts meal bins,cattle feed troughs, big bags of fertilizer, gates, fertilizer spinner on pallet, the odd round bale when don't have time to put on bale handler, sheep meal troughs, fence stakes, pallets and when built new house the amount of stuff it lifted can even begin to elaborate.

are those trailers that have a fold down shoot that holds 5 bales on each side a good job. i see them on done deal . they look very heavy on the ground
