I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.

You know, all of these items are all so useful, it's really difficult to say which is MOST helpful. But the lights fall into a category of their own.
High Impact, Low Cost, Easy to do.
Back in the old days with my Ford 1210, I did a lot of hours under lights.
Plowing snow, yard work and hauling firewood. I can remember the time-change in the fall would arrive, but still be pretty nice weather, I'd be out after dinner, lights on, taking care of business. Plowing snow, you flip the lights on an the reflection off of the white stuff made it like daytime.
The lights are truly an enabler, to allow you to get use of any and all of the other attachments and the machine itself.
They are also a safety item.
Which...is why.....right now....I am wiring up the lights! 
It is what I should have done before building the other items.
But it is a good indoor winter project.
I would put lights near or at the top of the list. |

Actually the advantage of a tractor is to have to right tool for the problem...
When there's lots of snow...SNOWBLOWERS are real nice...
When you've got lots of brush to move...GRAPPLE
When you've got scrub to mow...Bushhog
When you have manure piles to move...FEL
and so on and so forth...
And having a BIG CHECKBOOK is probably the most important attachment to have when owning a tractor...
That and an excellent explanation for SWMBO...
Hopefully better than the following... 
But...[fill-in appropriate personage]....I REALLY NEED this NEW ATTACHMENT

Kevin | Thanks Kevin,
Just get ahold of me when you start to build and I can tell you what I would leave the same, and what I would change to make it better. |
