Whether you’re a farmer, a landscaper, or an independent contractor, you know how important it is to find the right attachment for your specific job. It’s why it’s important to know when to use a square hay spear or a round one, for example.

So, before you even purchase an attachment, you go through the process of deciding which one is best for your work. After all, if you don’t, you risk wasting money on something you don’t even need. And we cannot have that!

But once you've finished your job and you give yourself a well-earned pat on the back and a drink of your favorite beverage, now you have to decide what to do with the attachment.

Did you know there are other ways to use your attachments? These creative uses can help you get even more out of your money. So, let’s talk about them!

A Note on Safety

Loader attachments are not toys. They are heavy, steel tools that should be used safely and cautiously. Always make sure your attachments are securely attached to your equipment and do not perform any task that may endanger your safety or anyone else’s.

Spring: Planting and Landscaping

As the frost of winter melts away, spring emerges, bringing with it the promise of growth and renewal.

For professionals in the construction, landscaping, and agricultural sectors, it's a season bustling with activity.

Conventional Uses

Tomahawk Smooth Bucket (and Heavy Duty version)

When the earth awakens from its winter slumber, preparing it for planting and landscaping becomes a primary concern. The Tomahawk Smooth Bucket, with its precision and efficiency, is a cornerstone tool for these tasks.

Instructions:

• Use the bucket's smooth scraping motions to even out soil for optimal planting conditions.

• Its design allows for the clearing of old debris and the even spreading of topsoil or compost, preparing your landscape for a new life.

• For a uniform surface, essential in both aesthetics and practicality, keep the bucket edge straight during operations.

Tomahawk Sprayer

Effective lawn care and maintenance in the spring hinge on precise, even application of lawn care chemicals. The Tomahawk Sprayer turns this necessity into a streamlined task.

Instructions:

• Easily attach the sprayer to your tractor’s Power Take-Off (PTO).

• Fill the tank with your chosen lawn care chemicals, making sure to follow guidelines for spray patterns and pressures to ensure coverage and efficiency.

• Methodically treat your designated area, securing a robust start to your season's growth.

Creative Uses

Tomahawk Dingo Smooth Bucket

Innovation doesn’t stop with conventional practices. The Tomahawk Dingo Smooth Bucket, for example, excels in specialized, creative applications.

Instructions:

• Use the Dingo Smooth Bucket for the final touches in soil preparation on specialized terrains such as sports fields, where precision is paramount.

• Level sand or pea gravel around playground equipment, ensuring safety in recreational areas. This not only adds to the aesthetic value but also significantly contributes to safety and functionality.

Summer: Maintenance and Cultivation

The vibrant, dynamic season of summer brings with it an array of maintenance and cultivation challenges. But it's also the perfect backdrop to showcase the cost-effectiveness of versatile attachments.

Conventional Uses

Tomahawk Heavy Duty Rake Grapple and One-Cylinder Brush Grapple

Summer storms can leave your grounds cluttered with fallen branches and debris. The Tomahawk Heavy Duty Rake Grapple is designed to efficiently gather and remove large yard detritus.

Instructions:

• Use the Rake Grapple to collect fallen branches and large debris. Securely hold the collected debris by closing the grapple, making cleanup both swift and safe.

Tomahawk Stump Bucket

Post-storm landscaping or routine ground preparation often necessitates the removal of stubborn stumps. The Tomahawk Stump Bucket is specialized for such tasks.

Instructions:

• Target the base of a stump, thrust the Stump Bucket forward to break the soil, and wiggle to sever roots. This process greatly simplifies what was once a daunting chore.

Creative Uses

Tomahawk Fork Frames

The true test of versatility often lies in creative application. Tomahawk Fork Frames offer more than meets the eye.

Instructions:

• Slide the Fork Frames beneath heavy objects for a steady lift. Whether you are arranging large rocks for a garden feature or installing artistic outdoor installations, these frames provide the stability and power needed for precise placement.

Fall: Harvesting and Preparation

As the colors change and the air cools, fall brings its own set of tasks to the forefront — from harvesting to preparing the land for the coming cold.

Conventional Uses

Tomahawk Round Bale Hay Spear Frame and Square Bale Hay Spear Frame

The harvest season often involves managing large quantities of hay, making efficient collection and storage crucial.

Instructions:

• To safely spear and transport hay bales, align the Spear Frame with the bale's center and drive forward. Utilize stability spears, if available, to ensure balanced lifting.

• Gently lift and relocate bales to a designated storage area, ensuring they are securely held for stable transport.

Tomahawk One-Cylinder Rock Bucket Grapple

Following the harvest, preparing the land for the next planting cycle includes clearing it of rocks and debris.

Instructions:

• Sift through the soil to separate rocks and debris efficiently using the Rock Bucket Grapple. This ensures that only fertile soil remains, optimizing the land for future crops.

• Use the grapple to segregate larger items for more organized sorting and removal.

Creative Uses

Tomahawk Snow/Mulch Bucket

Beyond its name, the Snow/Mulch Bucket offers creative applications suitable for autumn's unique needs.

Instructions:

• Engage the bucket to collect and relocate large quantities of fallen leaves efficiently, aiding in the cleanup efforts and maintaining the tidiness of the area.

• The bucket is equally handy for distributing mulch in gardens or around tree beds, promoting soil health and plant growth during the colder months ahead.

Winter: Cleanup and Snow Management

Winter's hallmark challenge is managing snow and preparing spaces to be safe and functional despite the cold.

Conventional Uses

Tomahawk Snow Pusher

In the depths of winter, effective snow management is crucial for maintaining accessible and safe outdoor areas.

Winter Usage Instructions:

• Position the Snow Pusher to effectively remove snow from driveways, sidewalks, or paths. An initial alignment ensures that the snow is moved efficiently and safely.
