Carry basket

[gstrom99]

I put on a rear carry basket yesterday, for tools/stuff. I found a front ATV basket on Amzn, and used scrap wood and repurposed hose clamps. I had to take the SMV sign off, so the seat doesn't ride up against it. Seems solid enough with the hose clamps, but I may change 'em out to "U" bolts.

I like those tire treads; never seen that pattern on a tractor tire (but haven’t really been looking….). Look like they would be excellent in snow.

I’d bet they are jeep/pickup tires as the JD 855 uses 31x10.5 tires on the rear.

However, my front tires are kinda like those.

Yep. Mickey Thompson Baja's. I love 'em.

The hose clamps are getting replaced by square "U" bolts tomorrow.

Old MicSlicks I can guarantee they work better on a tractor than a square body

I added a rear carry basket yesterday for tools and other items, and found a front ATV basket on Amazon that I decided to install using some scrap wood and repurposed hose clamps. To fit everything, I had to remove the SMV sign so the seat doesn't press against it. The hose clamps seem to hold everything securely for now, but I'm considering switching to U-bolts for added stability.

That's what I did. U bolts are much better. I did manage to smash the thing (think "clearanced") with the top link, when raising the 3 point tools, but that's okay.
