bx2200 smv bracket

[kevkubota]

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or concerns about this idea (brain storm)? I took off the smv sign on my bx and was going to mount a metal box using the existing holes for the bracket which held the smv sign. I am going to use it for storing gloves, some tools etc.... any feedback, or is this a bad thing (kinda like ripping the tag off a mattress??) I will not be taking my tractor off of my property, so i dont see where i would need the smv sign????

If you know you won't ever get on a public road; no problem at all. A lot of tractors are sold without the SMV placard and it's up to the owner to put one on if he's going to get on the road with it.

I removed the SMV bracket, mounted a 30 cal. ammo box, adding a brace so it would not wobble so much and then mounted the SMV bracket on the ammo box.
Best of both worlds.

Jim,
In your left hand picture - What are all those drums on wheels used for?

Phil,
We call them the "little Train Cars"
They were built for the kids in our church, Actually I built 12 for my current church and 10 for the previous one.
The barrels are what sausage skins come in (hog guts), don't tell the kids that.
The wheels are from Harbor freight. TSC or Northern Hydraulics.
the first photo was the one we rented and after we started building them
When any of these places have them in stock they cost $4.95 each.
If you want any more information, let me know.
The kids have a ball riding in them, and both churchs have won first place in their town parades pulling their kids with a Kubota BX2200

Having problems getting a photo on for some reason, probably my fault, OH well I will send you one with a Kubota BX 2200 pulling them, that should get them on the screen.
Anyway, they look better with a BX2200 pulling them.
We won first prize in the July 4th parade by the way.
