I just bought a two wheel tractor (and L8 Gravely to be exact). I bought a dozer blade and a rotary plow at the same time. I got a two wheel tractor instead of a sub compact tractor because I only have 5 acres and most all of it is a steep hill. I was scared of working a tractor on the side of a hill.
This video is my first real use of the tractor and is of my L8 Gravely pulling logs.
I spend the extra money and bought an adapter to run dual tires for more traction. Also, I purchased a hitch ball so I can add a wagon later.
The tractor pulled the log relatively easy. However, using a hook over the small ball hitch was difficult. I should not straddle the chain as I worked. With high tension a broken chain would end in disaster. In my defense, with the light weight and the personal control of tractor made the difference.
At this point I haven’t used the plow. I intend to use it to build terraces and raised beds. I have tried the blade. It did not work well. That was with the single tires. They were not fully aired, so I did not get much traction.
Finally, as I get more experience with this tractor, I will post more as I get better with the tractor.
