I bought a 430 diesel last fall and spent the winter refurbishing it. Didn't realize the $$$$ It is complete with a 3 point and rear PTO that I almost gave up trying to find! I just finished cutting 30 plus trees out of a tree line today. They ranged in size from 4" to 12" and up to 40' tall. I skidded every one of them whole without limbing up to where I cut wood. A lot of them got hung in the other trees and the 430 ripped them off the stumps and I just kept going. Amazing torque! Going to build a FEL this winter now that I am into it! I may have displaced some poor squirrels...
Thanks for the heads up on the $$$$! 430 is definitely on my wish list, low on the wish list because of my lack of knowledge on diesel engines.... and not to mention room in the garage. Looking for a good 140 H3 now so I can test out the capabilities of my mini-loader on a smaller frame. Enjoy that beast!
Nice video! Gotta say, that 400 is super versatile, the amount of lifting power it has is crazy, i used the rear 3pt on mine to lift out fence posts that were probably 5 ft in the ground. That branch was nothing to it lol. Have you thought about selling these to people? You'd probably make quite a bit of money off of them. Especially with that nifty quick tach system you've got. Looks like you need to build you a weight bracket for the rear. I hope to be able to get some Ags for mine sometime this winter, along with build a weight bracket to fit atleast 2 75lb AC weights on it.
I'm glad you liked the video. 3pt is on the wish list, along with a set of Carlisle Tru Power. I’ve been watching ebay for a set of rims, but they aren’t cheap. Between the AG tires and rims, it’s more than I paid for the tractor. Did you think about making a weight box for your 3pt? Just throw a few bags of sand it. The 3pt with JD suitcase weights does look nice hanging off the back!I am working on tooling to make a production intent unit. The next unit will have more ground clearance and increased rollback on the bucket. Plus, some other enhancements that I learned from the prototypes. Once I get things aligned, I'll setup a website to sell them. The unit in the video was the third prototype. The quick attachment was luck. But now I’ve found so many more uses for it, I can’t keep up with making prototypes of all them. I came up with a new one a few weeks ago, a simple S shaped bracket to pick up the trash can. Instead of dragging the trash can around the yard, drive your JD up to it, pick it up and drive it where you want…. I sound really lazy!! Hydraulics makes everything easier! Save your energy and get more work done! I’ll post a video of it shortly. Thanks for feedback.
I'm in a toss up between the weight box and the bracket, ill have to do some thinking about it lol. I cant wait to see these attachments out for sale, do you have a ballpark estimate of the price? Lol, that trash can idea is a good one, no sense in dragging em up with your hands when you've got hydraulics! I'm not going to get a set of rims for ags, ill just leave mine on all the time, because as long as its not super wet when your mowing, they shouldn't tear up the yard that bad (hopefully lol). Also, what about making them for other models, like 318s? Only drawback is they are H2 i believe. Have you thought about making a grapple-bucket? That would be really useful.
yMy tires are tubed, so the integrity of those old rims are suspect, besides a second set would be nice $$$, even if it they are used/ new to me! I haven’t thought of a sales price yet, but a ballpark…. less than some of the other systems out there. The concept with this design is that it utilizes the original JD plow components, just slightly reconfigured and replaces the JD plow tilt and pivot mechanism with the mechanism shown in the video. Thus, by having the half the components, and a little DIY, you don’t need to buy as much. Plus, it works better too! The plow bracket on the JD 400 is the same as the one on the 300 series. The frame mounting bracket is slightly wider for the larger machine frames. So this unit works on the 140, 300 series. I should be ready by summer to mount the next generation design to my JD 300. I’ll take a step by step video of that process to show how easy it is to change over. Once you change it over, you’ll never switch back. As far as a grapple-bucket, yes it can be done.
No, I converted my JD 54 plow into a mini-loader to help move stuff around the yard. One thing led to another and I made the fork attachment... to move other stuff around, then a trash can lift. I have some other attachments in the works and some still on the drawing board. There are other mini-loader attachments available but, I have not seen any as versatile. Thanks for watching!

Are these John Deere brand accessories? I have never seen these, and if you don't mind, do you know of their prices? Thanks in advance!!
