kubota 4610, kubota 4200, JD 455, Toro 256E zero turn mower, Case 135 excavator, hydraulic dumpcart
I installed this shield on my grill guard to keep sticks and blocks of wood from falling back off the bucket and damaging the front of the tractor. ( don't ask me how I know this can and Will happen :) )
I fabricated the carry all to have a place to put my chain saw, gas and oil, and other stuff. Not alot of places on the tractor for all this stuff except in the bucket. The carry all has a removable plywood bottom so it does not interfere with fueling up.
To the right of the tractor control panel I installed a plastic Folgers coffee container. I find this especially handy to but my coffee, adjustable wrench or anything else that will fit in it. Takes the weather real well too :)

M.D.

I wasn't expecting to see your "carry all" in that location! But I guess that's actually a pretty good place.

Nice setup. If I had that coffee "can" there, I'd probably use it as a mini-trash-can.

By having the carry all, in the location over the engine, it keeps the 3pth and the bucket available for use. I just installed it recently so I will let you all know how it works out.

Well thought out additions Bob ! Your firewood piles are making me drool though...........:D

interesting idea. Have you thought of putting bungee attachments on the carryall? Not sure about your land, but a couple of places would end up with me getting the chainsaw in my lap.

I've been trying to figure out a good location for a chainsaw on the 3030. One area kubota does NOT shine in is toolboxes.

But how can you see anything with the head lights with this blocking them??
