No, they did not make a Cat 0 one. They built a small one that used the sleeve hitch, but they are rare and hard to find. Besides, they would be too small. You just need to search for a 4' box blade. I'm telling you, cat 0 implements aren't easy to find. It may take you a couple months to find a used one. Look at new. Northern Tool and Equipment sells a 4' box blade IIRC.

You cannot put down pressure on a 3pt. This is also a common misunderstanding from people who have not ever ran tractors. If you put down pressure on an implement, your taking traction off the tires. Also, with a properly set implement, you don't need it. Cat 0 stuff..... sometimes a little weight helps because the implement/tool is so small it just doesn't have enough weight to do a good job..... but a box blade.... you shouldn't need weight if your using it right. Now a 3pt disk, or a tillage tool.... you might. A blade... if your using it correctly you shouldn't.

No I thought you couldn't apply down pressure, just wasn't sure with garden tractor, farm tractor the implements weigh enough that what does all the work you.

Don't get me wrong you guys are a wealth of information , I'm glad to be apart of the this group.

EDITED BY J-MECH. I know how.

That is a very swell tractor! I would love to have that thing.

Personally would go with Ruegg if I was buying a cat 0 3pt.

I know of an attachment that is more useful than a box blade, cheaper than a loader, faster than a snow blower, cooler than a blade and it mounts on your cat 0 3pt and uses the hydraulic outlets!

The heavier it gets, the more traction you have!

x2 on the idea of a vac trailer instead of a mounted bagger. A friend with a Kubota BX started with a mounted bagger (the Kubota brand attachment with the rear PTO driven fan) with a deck close to yours in size. He later sold that after three seasons and purchased a new vac trailer setup to use instead. He does approx 6 acres of property worth of leaf cleanup in the fall.

You could go this route too. This gent made his own blower fan and the rest is pieces he all ready had.

Don't be afraid to make attachments that fit your needs.

Good luck and enjoy your new toy. Welcome to the forum.

Well I was thinking about that . That's and awesome idea , I have and old sears wagon and motor that I could convert into a bagger system like that , I have about 3 acres of leaves to rake up or vac up . I'm hoping this will cut down on my fall clean -up .

Thanks for the picture edit , I tried to move them around but just couldn't get it . Thanks again, EDITED BY J-MECH.

Thanks everyone that has replied to my questions . One thing for sure is these little yellow and white tractors are addicting!
