Additional Tool Storage

[Baby Grand]

Didn't want to hijack the other thread ...
This is my headache tractor rack - it allows the ROPs to fold and I discovered an unintended benefit: additional tool storage!
Very cheap, some scrap hurrcane fence, a pack of zip ties and a few bungies:

I like the idea of the "backstop". My Bush Hog has a habit of occasionally zinging something out the front past the rubber guard. Had it do so,object hit a tree I was driving past and sailed it over my head. Don't know what it was, but go into the crouch position since then when near a tree.

Thoughtful, clean, practical.....To bad it won't work with my backhoe.

Can you explain the sub-soiler/potato plow positioning and what you use it for? I am very curious about it.

heh-heh. That would make spinning around in the seat a bit difficult, wouldn't it?

That, my friend, is how I came to think of the fencing as a tool holder and not just a headache rack.

To pin the subsoiler out of the way for transport I take out the top link pin, pivot the SS up horizontal, lay the top link on top of the spar, then secure the whole mess with a bungie.

When I got to the field, I reversed the steps, but now I had a bungie & nowhere to put it. No more room in the toolbox, so I just hooked it to the fence. I left it there for whenever I needed to transport the SS again.

A few days later, I had the same issue with the loppers - nowhere remotely convenient to put them. So I slipped the jaws into a gap in the fence and repositioned the bungie so I could slip the handles under it. Now I'm working on getting a good, secure mount for my chainsaw using a similar attachment.
