Any Ideas for a Side Toolbox on a 500 Kubota?

cointoss · Apr 4, 2011

I would like to put a pick-up style, side tool box on the side of my Kubota 500. My idea would be to put it above the rail but use the side rail posts as a holder to raise it above the factory bed. Has anyone ever come across a plastic or aluminum tool box that would be roughly 48" long, 10' high, and 6" or 8" deep?

No but a sheet metal shop could make you one if you don't have the tools to do it your self!

Still working on one;

I can't do "side boxes" as the doug fir trees on my place would tear them off on the first day....I broke several shovel and rake handles already...:laughing:

I'm planning on a tool box that is anchored to a board (1X12) that straddles the bed, locked in place with cleats and strapped down to the lifting handles.

It will be done soon.
