Rick: I own and have used both a 42" and a 30" on a 3-point for both B&B'ing and direct transplanting. IMHO, any B&B work is a 2-man job. It seems to work best to hold the basket with burlap up to the blades and then set the ball on the ground so it is just resting; then pull the blades up. Getting the ball centered in the basket will help with its standability, as well as its final look. Basket selection can affect their 'standability'. The larger baskets will have a larger bottom and stand better. As far as 3-pt. vs. skid steer you will gain much in manuverability in close quarters, if your rows or trees are close together, etc. with the skid steer. My unit is about 25 feet long with a water tank on the front for counter-weight. The main drawback with the skid steer will be in digging in wet conditions. The tractor tires will give much better flotation than any skid steer. If you want to keep your sod, you will need rubber tracks on the skid steer. Plain tires and/or steel tracks will rip up faster sod than you can fix it. Don't ask me how I know.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
