I really like the scissor lift Ben! And love seeing the MF245 Orchard! Been missing seeing it lately. I may look into acquiring one of those for my 3 pt. Happy Fathers Day!!
Good morning Ben. You are like a magician. I never know what kind of rabbit you’re going to pull out of your hat when I watch your videos. What an impressive attachment you built to overcome an issue on the farm. Growing up I only spent a small amount of time on a working farm. It’s quite impressive to see how much knowledge you have learned your parents. I really enjoyed all the steps you’ve shown us in the process of producing hay, from beginning to end. I have three (3) TH-cam channels I love, and yours is one of them. Thank you for sharing your acquired knowledge with us. God bless.
I really appreciate the nice comment and I’m Thankful to have you as a viewer! Back before a loader we did lots of thinking outside the box for loading hay and logs! I’m going to show some more of those methods eventually. Have a wonderful day!
I have seen those lifts before but never in action. That looks like you could use that for several applications like you said. THANKS AND HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY!
Those bales looked like giant marshmallows on a stick, ready for a campfire. Good job on the fabrication! I could see forks being a huge help like you said. Very cool!
Yes I’ve heard you mention the Deere baler some in your recent videos. That will be a good addition to the farm. All is good here, hope the same to you and Happy New Year!
Wait, you went to College????? LOL That's great just unexpected from a country boy as skilled as you are. Keep up the great videos and Happy Dad's Day to you.
Yep went to Mountain Empire Community College. I have two associates degrees one of which is Electromechanical Technology, I had plans to work at Eastman’s originally. Thanks for watching and have a great day!
@@khtractors Southwest Va. finest......Harvard on the hill, lol it sure has changed a lot since I went up there back then we only had 3 buildings and one was the tech building for hands on, and the library was the newest building when I was there. Then the admin building and D.M.M.E. wasn't too old of a building then, and we had only 2 main parking lots. Now I get lost I go up there too many roads and parking lots
Just ordered a basic one off ebay. Going to combine with a rear scoop to make a higher lift loader. I want to at minimum dump into a wheel barrow or garden cart to deliver material where tractor is prohibited. At best into a small pickup.
It is done and works better than expected. Three loads in a garden cart pulled by the lawn tractor in minutes rather than driving one load at a time. With my hinomoto e16 I get 4 1/2 feet of lift.
I bet smaller tractors with low loader capacity it would give the ability to safely lift heavier loads. The best part is that you fabricated it your self.
Good video. Just bought one of these at a farm auction last month for my tractor. I am gonna use it on my Massey 175. I was hoping it would go high enough to double stack. Not sure now after watching this video.
@@khtractors Well I have a front loader on a John Deere 4400 compact tractor I could put on a top row with but my bales really push the limits of that little tractor so I only use it when I absolutely have to. I have plans to get a loader on my larger John Deere when and if the $$$$ ever gets available. Lol. With the way things and prices are headed now it may not happen for a long while.🤔🙄😢
This is great Do you know if this increases or decreases the lifting capacity of your tractor, or doesn't change it? If this has already been asked I apologize,.
I have never liked hooking them up. They seem to want to smash fingers. I'd be curious to see how you put it on and then take off when your not using it.
They can be frustrating. I first unhook the top link or Jack from between the spear and scissor, then hookup the lower lift arms and tilt it into the top link hole on the tractor. Sometimes having to raise or lower the lift arms to get it aligned correctly. Then reattach the top link or Jack. On the 245 the lift arms lower to the ground and everything lines up perfectly. On some tractors you have to remove the drawbar hitch. Thanks for watching!
Yes that’s possible depending on the weight your lifting and tractor size. You loose a good bit of strength because of how far this extends behind the tractor. Thanks for watching!
No this is the only one I’ve made. I’ve had lots of interest in this. I’m wanting to make a video on the measurements incase someone wanted to make one. Thanks for watching!
Been farming in East Tennessee my whole life and have never heard of one of these. I could have sure used one back in the day!
Before loaders became popular they sure were nice! Appreciate you watching!
💥 Well ya learn something new everyday. I have never seen anything like that. Impressive!
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
It’s been a handy little attachment for me over the years! Have a great day!

Yes this is a great way to get more function out of a non loader tractor! Thanks for watching and have a great day!
Looks good that what I need for my 150 Massey Ferguson
They are a great way to handle bales without a loader! Thanks for watching!
Used one of those a lot. Took the spear off and towed a few tractors with the scissor part as well
Yeah I figured some of you would have had experiences with them. Pretty common around our area. Thanks for watching!
Hello Ben. That is pretty cool. I'm kind of surprised your not popping wheelies. Thanks for sharing
Yeah gotta be careful about the wheelies for sure! Thanks for watching!
Those bales looked like giant marshmallows on a stick, ready for a campfire. Good job on the fabrication! I could see forks being a huge help like you said. Very cool!
I welded that scissor lift together with a Lincoln Welder just like yours! Appreciate you watching and have a great day!
That’s one awesome implement.
It really is!
That’s really neat! Looks handy!
Yes it is! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate your videos
I appreciate you watching them!
Pretty impressive 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️
Appreciate you watching! Have a great day!
Great video! We’ve got a 4x4 baler coming and might consider one of these as a backup to our loader tractor. Hope all is well, happy new year!
Yes I’ve heard you mention the Deere baler some in your recent videos. That will be a good addition to the farm. All is good here, hope the same to you and Happy New Year!
Nice piece of equipment, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Interesting video Ben. That a niffty idea.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

Ben, Happy Father’s day, Thats Cool, never saw one before! 🚜🪵👍🏼🇱🇷
Happy Father’s Day to you as well! Appreciate you watching!
Love how these old diesels work so well at low RPMS, do that with these newer tractors and you will have Regen issues.
Yes these old Perkins engines will lug down and just keep pulling.

It definitely is handy, I used this method up until 2015. Thanks for watching!

Your probably right! Thanks for watching!
Hello friend. Man, I wish you were my neighbor. Good stuff Ben.
Appreciate you watching!
Very cool idea!
Appreciate you watching!
That is impressive.
Thanks!
Love it.
Appreciate you watching! Have a great day!
Great information. I’m currently trying to set one on a jd 4630.
They work well! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Good video. Just bought one of these at a farm auction last month for my tractor. I am gonna use it on my Massey 175.
I was hoping it would go high enough to double stack. Not sure now after watching this video.
It’s hard to double stack on a top deck trailer, but with a 175 you might get enough extra height so you can. Thanks for watching

@@leeroyexcavator9149 with a hydraulic cylinder in place of the top link I could double stack on that Hudson trailer with a 2615 Massey I had.
Need one! 🤩😍
This is great
Do you know if this increases or decreases the lifting capacity of your tractor, or doesn't change it?
If this has already been asked I apologize,.
It will decrease the lift capacity some because of the distance behind the tractor. But it’s a super handy tool for hay. Thanks for watching
Hi Ben would it be possible to get some measurements so I could build one
Thanks for the great vid it looks like it’s going to be very handy
Yes I’ll try to do that. Send me an email to khtractors@gmail.com. I’ll get you the measurements along with pictures and send to you that way. Thanks

Thanks for the video! I bought a scissor lift but it came with no instructions!
They are a handy attachment! Hope it serves you well! Thanks for watching
Great Idea, I want one, I will have one cheers
They sure help a bunch! Thanks for watching!
Shoot that's the cats meow lol.
It’s pretty neat! Thanks for watching!
Ben good morning 53 sunny here may get hot never saw of scissors
Hope you have a beautiful day! Appreciate you watching!
That would allow me to lift a pallet of firewood into a pickup truck. Nice.
Yes that’s possible depending on the weight your lifting and tractor size. You loose a good bit of strength because of how far this extends behind the tractor. Thanks for watching!
Thats good thinking
It works well! Thanks for watching
Notice any difference in your lift capacity ?
Some but not as much as you’d think.
Did you make this yourself or can you buy them?
I made this one but you can buy them. The scissor parts runs about $500-$600 not including the spear. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors you're welcome.
Do you have any measurements on the sissor lift id like to build one
It’s near the middle of this video. I’ll try to attach the link here th-cam.com/video/WMqErVV8CXo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b1QU_XTKSeASKfol
@@khtractors thank you it's very helpful iv been trying to make one
@@khtractors thank you it's very helpful iv been trying to make one
Where can one of these be purchased?
Pretty common here to find used. I think tTitan attachments online store sales them also. Thanks for watching
Good link
Thank you!
Badass
Thank you!
Do you sell these and where are you?
No this is the only one I’ve made. I’ve had lots of interest in this. I’m wanting to make a video on the measurements incase someone wanted to make one. Thanks for watching!
Those have been around at least 30 years. They do greatly reduce your lifting capacity though.
Yeah I’ve had one for probably 17 years myself. Thanks for watching!
You would flip your tractor over with spike out that far with my small bales. I doubt you could lift my big bales.
What are your small bales? These 4x4’s average about 750 lbs when we weighed them.
Hmm wonder if this could be combined with a pond bucket for a poor man’s loader… hmm interesting
I’ve considered that also. I did have set of forks on it at one time before getting a loader. Thanks
