any ideas for an FEL mounted yard tool holder?

[72chevy4x4]

sometimes I drive the tractor about and hold the shovel or rake as I'm driving to the next pickup site (i.e. picking up yard debris). I have an L3540 and was toying around with a mount to be bolted onto the FEL attachment that could hold preferably two items such as a rake and a shovel. I don't like the pvc tube idea-doesn't do a pretty new tractor justice and the mount would need to have a high point and a low point to stabilze the garden tools to keep them from swinging while driving about.

I'm sure someone has done this before does anyone have pictures or additional ideas?

My first thought was to screw some of these spring-loaded clamps to the side of the loader boom to pop the handles into. CRAWFORD PRODUCTS SG1G CLIP SPRING 1.5"GIANT I have purchased these at the hardware store, but I have only used them to store hydraulic jack handles myself. They do come in different sizes. I really have to tug to remove my jack handles. Just an idea.

Northern Tool has rachet type holders that I have considered buying two sets and using trailer spring U-bolts to attach them horizontaly behind the seat on the ROPS. Just an idea.

Just another idea, I mounted adjustable 4 pipe or furniture clamps to the back of my ROPS.
I use them to hold all kinds of tools. The photos shows a farm jack and prybar, but I've had shovels and rakes and an axe in there too....even a metal detector. You might also see the come-along on the side and a large wooden toolbox for all kinds of chains, knives, wrenches and other tools etc.

How about a three point carryall? About a hundred bucks + or -, then you make it up for what ever purpose you want. Tool boxes, shovels, rakes, weed whackers, cooler etc etc. A guy doesn't mind a little PVC attached to something like that. A mini trailer of sorts.

Here's what I did for the same reason as you. Gunrack from Wally World bolted to the rops. Comes in pretty handy for lots of other uses too.

Reason I like carrying all that crap on the back of the ROPS and tool boxes is so I can actually use the bucket and whatever implement on the back when I'm at the worksite.
I used to throw my stuff into the bucket to carry there. One day there was a big rock that become dislodged so I picked it up with the bucket ... not thinking...
Needles to say, I won't do that again.
