This is a family friendly tractor loving channel that hopefully inspires you, teaches you and entertains you.
I love to read your comments!

Very good video
I’ve always made shelves with solid 2 By material. Edge to edge. Better weight distribution.
My friend, I hope Artillian gives you credit. "Where did you hear about us?: TH-cam - A Ritter Bit Will Do". I don't even have my tractor yet and I'm starting my Artillian collection! (But just in case you wondered - Cab: Apr-May, Snowblower: March, back blade: September!!!) It sucks to be me, but thank you for the great videos.
Hi Jon! I like the scaffold storage idea! I’ve seen Tim do this on his channel as well. It great when you are trying to save space, and really convenient too! That Artillian frame is quite versatile. Thanks for sharing!
The nice thing about the scaffolding is it makes a better storage shelf than an actual storage shelf. Plus it’s cheaper and on wheels. Your going to need a few of them in your new shop. Oh I would love to have a space like that!
Keep on tractoring!
Am liking the Artillian frame attachment, thanks for sharing Jon.
Bought 2 from Northern Freight a couple of days ago and a couple months ago I bought an Industrial Pallet rack set up 8 foot high x 4 foot deep x 12 foot wide that was about $60 more but not moveable.
Thanks for the lower shelf idea, because I will use that plan for My garage storage of My Tractor Toys
My ceiling is 7 foot 11.5 inches, so I will either have to cutoff the tops of My pallet rack sides or make holes in the ceiling drywall. Probably holes wins out because it needs work anyway.
Plus, the scaffolding on wheels will give Me the flexibility to roll the racks anywhere I want in My low ceiling 2 car 1 narrow garage door garage/shop.The door opening is so narrow I can't get a 2 axle trailer past the door jams.
I have been watching for these to go on sale and Northern Tool in Florida has them on clearance right now for a little less than Harbor Freight, but I only saw the sale because I checked Harbor Freights prices this week and they want $200
Thanks
Ken
Do you mean Norhern Tool? I'm looking for the 8 foot high x 4 foot deep x 12 foot wide that was about $60 more Pallet Rack, but haven't found the one you seem to be referring to.
Awesome stuff! I could use every bit of it. Hopefully someday.
My thoughts exactly on the beet juice! Tread lightly on the grass
Good morning Sir, that was a close fit for your snow blower chut !!! LOL Great way to store your implements !!! Great stuff that artillian site !!! Cheers !!
I got lucky fitting that under there. I'm sold on the Artillian system, I just love the versatility on how it all works.
Keep on tractoring!
I loved the scaffold idea so much I copied ya. Really cleaned things up. Your videos have really helped me thrgh the process of purchasing my BX2380. I do mostly tree work on the side and these little tractors are really workhorses for their size. Thumbs up as always and keep on tractoring my friend.
Hi Adam, glad you liked the scaffold idea. I think those harbor freight scaffold systems make a better mobile shelf unit than scaffolding. The BX’s are underestimated by a lot of people. The power my tractor has always impresses me.
Keep on tractoring and thanks for watching!
Good storage solution! Only possible if you have a pallet fork attachment... Now that I have one, I can access the freedom of stacking implements!!! Thanks Jon!
Go nuts stacking your implements higher than your fire wood!
Keep on tractoring!
Good video John. I need scaffolding like that. Nice artillian stuff too. 👍
Thank you, I see Harbor Freight has a deal on them again. I’m going to pick up a second one.
Keep on tractoring!
I started a new channel glad to join this one. You have a lot of good Practical ideas. Shelve is a great idea
Thank you, I see you ventured up to the Walker MN area on Leach Lake. I used to fish that lake with dad on a regular basis back when I was a kid. Great Lake to fish on! Hope you’re enjoying your travels. I’ll be watching.
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon cool thanks! What area are you from. Northern Michigan here.
@@ritterjon sprayers are handy for waights plus weed killing wich nice kill 2 birds with 1 stone
This dude lives in suburbia and has enough implements to manage a small estate! I understand your worry about compaction, but you do have a cab on your already heavy tractor. Why not just run a push mower or small lawn mower? The BX isn't light to begin with.
I feel I should plug Ai2 Product's new SSQA forks, which are very light weight (167 lbs, forks and all) to help improve the lifting capacity on the BX. They're very well made. I own a set and am very pleased. Plus, the owner of Ai2 is a solid person.
edit: Mr. Ritter does work on what appears to be sizable land. Out of curiosity, where is this land roughly located?
There's a lot here, ok lets get started. Tony from Ai2 does make a great product and I've had him on my channel before, his shop isn't far from me. He's a great guy!
The land we have is in northern Minnesota.
I would love to get a zero turn mower and hoping maybe some company would like to promote there's on my channel.
Did I answer everything?
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon Clearly, I should have watched some more of your videos before commenting. I've enjoyed your stuff, especially when you're working on the rural parcel. Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to answer my questions. Tony is a great guy and clearly you are, as well. Good luck!
It is likely I will buy a Kioti CX2510 suitable for our terrain and bushland. I have enjoy your videos and the tips etc. I especially like the Artillian forks/grapple versatility. I can see having a single unit of the grapple set in the middle to move and set rocks around gardens, and the trenching bucket would get endless use. GOD BLESS
I'm really enjoying the versatility of the Artillian system. There is no other product like it and the quality is fantastic!
Keep on tractoring!
I’d like to see a video on the Trenching Bucket.
How's she goin'? Congrats on buying the new house. That will help with the storage issues eh!!! Those scaffolding systems are awesome. I have been using mine for storage now for a while and it works great!!! Take care!!
Thanks, buying that place was one way to acquire some more garage space for all my stuff. Those scaffolding systems are cheaper than some shelving units that are the same size and they're on wheels. win win!
Keep on tractoring!
One mod you might want to do. Get some 1"ID tube/hose to use as grips for the quick attack handles. I wish I would have done it much sooner.
That trenching tool would be handy for repairing my short road down by my creeks. After 3 flash floods, there is plenty of rip rap available. It's just in the wrong place. 😀 Keep on tractoring!
oh no! Some parts of the country are just getting pummeled with rain this summer. Hope you're staying dry! Yes the trenching bucket would be perfect for that.
Keep on tractoring!
Jon good idea my try that should work a little better for 8 foot doors on shed
God Bless
PaK
That's for sure, I can't stand those short 7 foot doors. I always run into clearance issues with them.
Keep on tractoring and God bless.
Just got my Artillian fork set and released my first video about it yesterday. Releasing another one tomorrow. I'd love it you'd check them out!
Late reply here but as you know I checked it out, subscribed and now you're part of the club. I'm enjoying your channel.
Keep on tractoring!
Hi John do you have the standard taper or full taper Artillian forks? Super excited our Bx 2680 and cab arrived and will be deliverednextweek sometime🙂
I have the standard 42 inch forks. I think I might like the 36 inch better though.
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon Thank you. So many Artillian options - as a first time owner I am many times overwelmed by all the cool stuff out there! Cha Ching! 💰💰🚜😁
@@jeffreyjohnson1828 it’s easy to spend a lot of money on attachments. Before you know if you’ll have more wrapped up in attachments than the original cost of your tractor.
@@ritterjon Very true. I keep thinking of more that would be useful every day and the tractor isnt even here yet!
I recall Tim Marks received a 2nd frame when he got his grapple. He can use the quick connect to switch between the forks and grapple. I would enjoy a video showing you do the switch on a single frame. While I like my Artilian forks, their grapple accessories cost about the same as many complete grapples which would be easier to switch between.
That would make for good content, I'll try and get a video out sometime showing how that's done. The nice thing about the module grapple that I really like is that because it's module I can pick it up by hand and fit the whole thing in the back of my truck with my bed cover on. Plus the forks, trenching bucket and the fork frame itself. I think portability is one of the biggest advantages.
Keep on tractoring!
Terry - just got my set of Artillian forks and love them so far! Not sure if I'll add the grapple. I don't have 3rd function, so I'd need to get the 3rd function kit and add it all on.
Those scaffolds are a great idea, thanks for the tip. I have no clue where I'd put them though LOL. Lean-to on the end of the barn I guess as they don't really need to roll anywhere, just need a space to store implements and attachments when and if I get the tractor.
I think I may look into the Artillian pallet fork setup, I believe it is supposed to weigh less than the Kubota/Land Pride pallet fork setup from the dealer, so it would give me more lift capacity I think.
What is the rear 3 point hitch you are using, is that a Kubota/Land Pride attachment?
When would you choose the trenching bucket over your BH?
Good question, a backhoe is convenient to have at times but the trenching bucket is quicker to install especially if I have a different attachment I’m using on the back. Also the trenching bucket takes up a fraction of the room when I’m working somewhere else. Easy to transport and quick to use.
Keep on tractoring!
Busy morning Jon. LOL. The scaffolding is a great space saver. Have a good one!
Space favor and multi function use if I ever go into the house painting business.
Keep on tractoring!
Since you have a snowblower and back plow, please advise as to advantages of front plow.
It’s a great alternative to moving snow quickly. Especially if I were to have a snowblower breakdown. It doesn’t take up much storage space, it’s easy to move around and it’s relatively inexpensive. Also terrific at making tall snowbanks which is just fun.
Keep on tractoring!
Jon I see a tractor shop being built in ur future lol. Brother if u have compacted soil like we have in Mississippi use air 8, u won’t be disappointed. God speed brother
Thanks for the tip on air 8. I hadn’t heard of it before. One of these days a shop is in my future for sure!
Keep on tractoring!
Titan Attachments make pallet frames with 2" receiver hitches.
Add a 3rd 2x4 and put all of them under your two side 2x4s. Support them with U bolts. This may give you another 5 inches of clearance. Im just brainstorming off of your great idea. That rack to hold your elements, darn good ideas lol
That’s a good plan! 👍
If I ever need more clearance or storage I might incorporate that idea.
Keep on tractoring!
Jon you need storage a big Deck maybe
What part of Minnesota do you live in .my go to Monticello MN for Christmas every year .
I’m a bit north of that in the St. Cloud area.
If you do any welding, the bucket or forks will be a great carrier. The welder would have to be fastened to the forks maybe with rings that go over the forks similarly to pallet slots. That will keep the welder from falling off...As a suggestion ; if you would not mind, try aiming towards your scaffold ladder when placing the plow in it; then, turning sharply to place the left side in; after the right side is inserted...You would not have to move the scaffold that way...
Oh man, you have a nice wife to let you have that tractor and those toys for that little yard! LOLZ! Nice video though! I LOVE the storage rack system....
It took a few years of arm twisting and sweet talking her. She finally caved.
Keep on tractoring!
In the manual for the BH it says not to load the back tires. Later
I hope renting to your niece works out. A lot of renting to relatives does not work out. some one gets their feelings hurt. As a past landlord, my advice to you is have a very good written rental agreement.
Thanks for the concern, I’m quite pleased this situation presented itself in a way. I think it’s going to be a good idea for us. The rental agreement has been handled as it should.
Keep on tractoring!
Not to degrade your tractor in any ways, cause I want one, reminds me of my younger days. Matchbox cars and Tonka trucks. Those little items got me liking them when I got older. Actually, I liked working on them, though not that small. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Buy another house to make more room for yourself . Been there done that . Bought the house behind me to give me more parking room . 2 boats , car and a truck fills the driveway . 30ft RV and another truck in the other driveway . Can't believe how much stuff one can collect over the years . Been that way for 30 years . No I don't rent it out . Too many horror stories about bad renters . Love that ball hitch on the front . Never knew that they existed . Most guys drill a hole in their forks and add a ball . I can see you moving to a bigger piece of property in the future . Like that scaffolding . Easy to move it around .TTWT . He's got more stuff on his property than some dealerships have . LOL . He just showcased a nice trailer the other day .
We do need a larger property, something like TTWT has would be perfect with a few more trees. We live in a great neighborhood and it's perfect right now for our kids and that's what matters most. In 5-10 years I doubt we'll still be here. For now however, aquiring more garage space is my only option. I can't believe all the stuff us guys collect over the years. Sounds like you've got plenty of toys between your two places. :-) Hope your finding some time to enjoy the boats and RV.
Keep on tractoring!
Yeah but with that attachment system, you lose so much lifting capacity...you already have a quick attachment system...I don’t get it. But nice video.
There will be some future videos soon explaining the confusion you have. I get your point of view and I’ll be clearing that up for other viewers as well. Thanks for the comment.
Keep on tractoring!
I really like your videos. I've watched quite a number as I consider what I want/need from my own first tractor purchase. I've found useful information and frankly you and your family are just enjoyable to watch.
However, I strongly recommend you look at the FTC guidelines concerning disclosure of advertised products so as to keep yourself from some very unhappy legal problems. Perhaps I'm wrong but little things here and there make me think you receive some form of payment or free or reduced priced product from Artillian and/or their parent company Curtis in exchange for promoting those brands. If that is the case you should be openly stating that relationship on every video where you are making claims about their products.
Beyond the legal ramifications you should also consider the importance of trust between yourself and your audience as you build your brand.
I appreciate you watching and I hope you’re getting some ideas as to what you want when you’re ready to purchase your first tractor.
I also thank you for the information about the FTC guidelines. I am within proper guidelines of this and I wholeheartedly promote products because I have full faith in the quality, not because of any type of sponsorship.
So what tractor are you leaning towards and what will your primary use be?
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon I finally decided on a Deere 2025r. I had narrowed it to a BX or 1025r or 2025r. In the end both the Deere and Kubota have their advantages and downsides. Deciding Deere I splurged on the larger 2025r.
Primary uses will be mowing and snow removal on a fairly rural 1 acre. A little bit overkill for what it needs to do but that was part of the idea. Getting a little older and want the machine to do more and me less.
Got a snow pusher with back-drag option rather than a plow as I have shorter wider areas and no long runs. Will eventually add a 3-pt snowblower. We'll see how the pusher handles things for a season first.
Is "STUFF" a guy thing ? I am sure women like stuff too but women don't seem to have the I needa / I wanta syndrome as much. Am I being sexist ? I remember a comedy routine by George Carlin about stuff. Tractor and tool stuff is different !!!
Oh no, women are the same way just with smaller items. Shoes, clothes, lotions, soaps, candles, pillows, crafts, etc...
Tractor and tools are different because they are most important to us guys! Trucks, trailers, boats, guns, atv’s...
Keep on tractoring!
