When I got a new bobcat S205 2 years ago I also pickud up a set of their steel tracks and their Tilt-Tach attachment. The steel tracks are great for the spring and fall (or any rainy days that would stop you from usiong a machine. They take about an hour for 2 people to put them on (or take them off). They are incredibly loud and sqweeky in dry conditions but will help to avoid wrutting the ground with highly traveled areas. They leave a bunch of ridges in the lawn if you drive over it... so don't unless you have spent the extra 15K for a ruber track machine.
The Tilt-Tach has seen a fair bit of use. For any digging, grading or swail work it is almost a nessecity. No longer is your bucket always following the angle of the machine. I've also found it quite usefull with the pallet forks attached on jobs where we are driving on side grades where boulders would likely slide off the side of the forks, or where a loosely stacked skid of brick might topple all over the lawn.
I'm looking for a soil conditioner. I've heard that they are awesome for sod prep.
And if you ever need a trencher, don't bother renting one, just remove one of the forks from your pallet forks and there is your trencher. We call it 'the Unifork' (TM) and use it for trenching and breaking up really hard soils. And for a wider trench just slide both forks to the same side so that they are together.
