Hi all,

Just learned of a Deere "Johnny Bucket" for X tractors:

The 40-in. Tractor Shovel expands the usefulness of any John Deere Select SeriesTM X300 or X500 Multi-TerrainTM Tractor by allowing it to pick-up and move material. It's patent pending mechanism utilizes a high-capacity electric actuator that provides lift, lower, dump, and down-force functions. No front blade is required.
The Tractor Shovel takes the back-breaking labor out of jobs like moving mulch, spreading gravel, ground grading, and more. It installs using the tractor's existing frame holes. After initial installation, it can be removed or installed without tools.
The innovative opening design of the Tractor Shovel, combined with the lift height, assures complete emptying of material. The Tractor Shovel can also be used for scraping and grading by locking the shovel in the raised position.
Compatible with:
Select Series X300, X300R, X304, X320, X324, and X340 Tractors
Select Series X500, X520, X534, and X540 Mulit-Terrain Tractors
Tractor recommendations and requirements:

Rear tractor ballast recommended for improved traction
Tire chains recommended for moving snow
No tractor requirements

Here's a pic:
