Why buying during the Christmas Sale can be a smart move

The holiday sale season is when many property owners finally pull the trigger on the attachment they’ve been putting off. If you’ve got an acreage to maintain, winter snow to manage, or land clearing projects you want to start next spring, picking the right tool now can save you both money and time later.

But the key is choosing equipment that matches:

• your machine (tractor vs skid steer)

• your hookup style (3 point vs skid steer mount)

• the work on your land (brush, trees, soil, driveway, fencing)

Start here: Tractor vs skid steer—what changes when you choose attachments?

Many buyers browse attachments by price first. A better starting point is your machine.

If you mainly use a tractor

A tractor is built for steady work across larger areas—think long passes down fields, trails, or a long driveway. Many tractor implements connect via 3 point hitch, and some tools use PTO power. If your work is consistent and seasonal—snow removal, mowing, hay routines—this setup is often straightforward and efficient.

If you mainly use a skid steer

A skid steer is often the better choice for working in tight spaces, around buildings, gates, and heavy brush edges. It’s popular when your tasks change often and you want quick attachment swaps and tight turning.

Simple rule:

• Open space + long runs → tractor tends to feel smoother

• Tight spaces + frequent task switching → skid steer tends to feel faster

Farmry shoppers often compare both because snow blowers and backhoes can be available in 3 point and skid steer configurations depending on your setup.

3 point vs skid steer attachments: a simple “fit & match” checklist

Before you purchase, take two minutes and run through this checklist. It prevents the most common “it doesn’t fit my machine” issue.

1) What machine are you buying for?

• tractor

• skid steer

2) What mount do you need?

• 3 point (tractor hitch style)

• skid steer mount

3) What power does the tool require?
Some implements are PTO-driven (pto), some are hydraulic-driven—always check the product details.

4) Where will you use it most?

• open land

• woods edge

• fence lines / fencing areas

• driveway and yard

• areas with lots of trees and obstacles

5) What will slow you down?
If your ground is soft, if you have hidden stumps, or your driveway is gravel, the “best” attachment is the one that keeps your operation moving without constant stops.

Choosing the right Farmry category for your job

1) Snow Blower: for snow, driveway access, and winter control

If winter weather regularly blocks your route, a snow blower is one of the most practical attachments you can buy. The goal is simple: keep access open so you can get in/out without turning every storm into a full-day project.

Great for:

• clearing snow from a long driveway

• restoring access after heavy snow

• reducing repeated “push and pile” cycles

What to check:

• mount type: 3 point tractor vs skid steer version

• power requirement: some setups involve pto

• driveway surface: gravel needs a careful operating approach early season

If your driveway is gravel, plan your method so you’re not scraping too much ground material into the path. A small plan makes a big difference.

2) Backhoe: for digging, trenching, and fixing the hard jobs

A backhoe is what many property owners turn to when work becomes “bit hard” with basic tools—drainage issues, buried obstacles, or repairs that require you to dig.

Great for:

• trench tasks and repair jobs

• drainage and soil work

• cleanup after storm damage where land needs restoring

What to check:

• confirm whether you need a 3 point backhoe for a tractor or a skid steer mount version

• understand your soil and ground conditions

• plan for working around trees and fence lines

For some projects, a backhoe can replace hiring an excavator—but only if it’s matched correctly to your machine.

3) Wood Chipper: for brush piles, storm cleanup, and property edges

If you’ve ever spent weekends dragging branches into bigger and bigger piles, a wood chipper becomes an easy “why didn’t I do this earlier?” tool.

Great for:

• reducing brush piles

• cleaning up downed limbs after storm damage

• keeping woods edges manageable and tidy

What to check:

• how much brush you generate (occasional vs seasonal)

• whether you work in open land or tight spaces

• your plan for chip output (mulch area, disposal, etc.)

4) Stump Grinder: remove the hidden problem that ruins mowing plans

Stumps are the reason people break a blade, damage a mower, or stop halfway through a cleanup project. Stump grinding is the “finish the job” step that makes land usable again.

Great for:

• clearing leftover stumps after brush removal

• preventing blade and mower damage

• restoring safe mowing paths

What to check:

• how many stumps you realistically need to handle

• ground condition (soft vs firm)

• your plan: chip first, then grind, then reset the area

5) Flail Mower: for mowing brush, saplings, and fence line growth

A flail mower is a popular choice when your property isn’t just clean lawn. If you deal with brush, uneven growth, and regrowth near fence lines, this category often offers a practical balance of control and cleanup.

Great for:

• general mowing across rougher land

• managing brush and light saplings

• keeping fence lines open and visible

What to check:

• your typical vegetation: grass vs brush vs saplings

• the maintenance approach (blade wear is real—plan for it)

• the size of your acreage and how many passes you want to make

6) Haying Equipment: for routine field work that repeats every year

If your work includes hay routines, the right implement is the one that keeps your operation consistent over the years—not the one with the flashiest feature list.

Great for:

• predictable seasonal tasks

• maintaining fields and routine property work

• building a reliable plan for your acreage

What to check:

• the implement’s fit for your machine

• whether your fields and access routes are open and practical

• your seasonal plan (buying without a plan is how people waste money)

Common buying mistakes during tractor attachment sales (and how to avoid them)

Mistake #1: buying the wrong mount type

This is the #1 reason people regret a purchase. Always decide:

• tractor vs skid steer first
  Then choose:

• 3 point vs skid steer mount

Mistake #2: not planning for obstacles

Real properties have obstacles: trees, fence lines, gates, uneven ground. If you don’t plan for them, your job turns into constant stops.

Mistake #3: ignoring soil and ground conditions

Soft ground, wet soil, gravel driveways, wooded edges—these change how attachments behave. Matching the tool to the land improves performance and makes operation easier.

Mistake #4: shopping only by price without checking details and stock

During a big sale, good deals can go out of stock. Always read the product details, confirm the attachment fits your machine, and make sure you’re buying the right type before checkout.

Mistake #5: expecting one tool to do everything

Many land clearing projects work best as a simple sequence:

• flail mower for brush and grass

• wood chipper for brush piles

• stump grinder for leftovers

• backhoe when you need digging or repairs

A plan helps you finish cleanly instead of stopping halfway.

Final checklist before you purchase

Use this quick checklist to make a confident decision:

• Machine: tractor or skid steer

• Mount: 3 point or skid steer

• Power: pto required or not

• Task: snow, digging, mowing, chipping, grinding, hay

• Property: acreage, woods edge, fence lines, brush piles

• Ground: soil type, soft areas, gravel driveway

• Goal: save money and time, reduce stops, finish the job
