Cupholder

[bgott]

I have a cup holder but that looks like the ticket for my can of hornet spray.

For a cupholder on my DK40 I use the area behind the T-handle that operates the FWD. It holds a can or 20oz. bottle perfectly and keeps it right by my left heel.

You want cheap? Try cutting off the "over the car window sill" portion of the plastic cup holders one can buy at AutoZone and similar for $1.59, drill a couple of holes in the stem, and use 2 small stainless steel bolts/nuts to affix such to the side of the instrument panel of your tractor (which is usually thick plastic - at least it is on Kubotas). Feeling flush? Do the same with an aluminum water bottle holder for a bike. Simple, fast, and holds a 24 oz. beer can --- excuse me, water bottle --- quite well.

After reading your post, I recalled I had an extra bike bottle cage that I recently removed from my bike. It was perfect, especially when I noticed that two existing holes in the rear fender next to the seat lined up precisely with the cage's holes. Boy, what a great idea! I loved having a beverage a reach away.

Now, if I could just rig something up so I won't have to get off of the tractor when I have to pee . . .

Thanks!

what stop and stand!? what are you talking about? best method is a hose that affixes to your leg (inside your pants ofcourse) and simply runs down below the tractor. let it just drain on the run! drink and go....drink and go. thats how our boys in the U2 fly for 16 hours non-stop. they just use a collection bag that i feel is unneccesory on a tractor.

Good ideas guys! Maybe I could have my wife sew me up a "special" pair of "seat time" pants with built in hose. Wait, I'm not sure if the 7360 has a hole in the floor. Maybe I'll have to get her to include a bag then too... Ahhh, forget it. Might as well just stand up...

Why bother standing?

Don't you wash your tractor off at the end of the day?

Think safety! Stand, slip, injury...much better just to stay seated, with seat belt on...

Nope. Just like I said in the "I have a problem..." thread. If I peed sitting down, I probably would have to begin washing it everytime though... either that or seek counseling!
