Attachment Storage

[Industrial Toys]

Big ugly contraption I built to store my Ditch Mower/Shredder. It's at leas six feet square.

The arrangements for accomodating forks was far too weak. One should only ever use tubing. Could be VERY Dangerous!

In my opinion, if casters don't have steel ball bearings I have no use for them. Swivel casters must turn on ball bearings. I also want hard wheels, preferably cast iron. Lastly, floor cleanliness and smoothness is your friend.

One of my rolling tool boxes is equipped with casters that won’t turn unless you kick the **** things around. One of those “irritating “ things that comes up infrequently enough that I won’t fix it by changing them(or the box) out.

I’ve had great luck with the harbor freight dollies but right now all the implements are out on the fence line. I HAVE to get another shed built.

Here's my outdoor storage solution for my higher $$ implements. I get giant pallets from work that machinery is shipped on, then turn them into mini lean to's. I may have to buy some longer lumber for the roof structure and then cover them with sheet metal. I made one to store my Land Pride RCD1884 twin spindle rotary cutter and one to park my grapple under. Tractor and FEL live in the shop, high $$ attachments in lean to's, and the rest of the stuff gets the sunshine and fresh air.

It's best to park them where they don't get covered with falling leaves and tree/shrub debris. In my experience, that's the stuff that collects and holds moisture and becomes a catalyst for corrosion.

My building has 16’ sidewalls and I would like to come up with a way to store implements off the floor (on the walls?) if possible, like the rear blade that is only used in the winter. Shelving or pallet racks would be easy but take up floor space and we all know floor space is a premium.

Three foot or 42" (better by far) racking across the back of your buildings is immensly (sp?) valuable storage space. Just problematic if you can't get at it. This last summer I ripped out a pile of 36" racking I got for free in favour of 42" stuff I got used. Sometimes FREE isn't the best solution.

I use the following guide lines. Anything with moving parts - tractor, mower, chipper, grapple is stored under cover in my carports. ROBB, LPGS, disk harrow, single bottom MB plow - out in the orchard on pallets.

I came close top getting racking but my space was too small for it to work. The dollies suited my needs better, but stones and bits of bark etc can make the wheels hang up so a clean floor is a must. I have a spare leaf blower I use to "sweep" the floor when needed.

When you don't have an implement barn, FEL stuff gets parked on pallets, 3pt stuff on wooden stands

Is that a Pinto in the background of photo 2? Just wondering. Jon

Definitely not a pinto. Looks like an old Toyota. Corona? (not Corolla). Not sure, but can tell it's not a pinto.

Oh, oops, was looking at the car on the left. Lol. The one on the right looks like an AMC Eagle.

I made this dolly for my wood splitter out of bed railing and scraps.View attachment 455938

Sorry for nosing around in your shop but you gave me a great idea of where to store my Big Wrench Sets.
