John Deere \"roughneck\" storage containers

I just picked up a couple of those plastic storage containers (green with the John Deere Logo and name) at my local Wal-mart. No, I do not work for, own stock in, or have any special attachment to Wal-mart. But I did get a couple of these and thought others may be interested. I have three boys under 3 and 1/2 years old (no, that's not a mistype!) and these containers are a great place to store all their toy tractors, etc. Good for other uses too-like real tractor stuf. I think they are a Rubbermaid product so they are farely heavy. Just thought that some may be interested.

Re: John Deere \"roughneck\" storage containers

My 4210 keeps dropping mud on the garage floor. Do they
stock one that is big enough to put a full-size JD in?
My wife would like me to store my toys properly as well...

Re: John Deere \"roughneck\" storage containers

I picked up one to put my spare parts, and supplies in for my JD-B when i restored it last year. I removed the oem lamp holders to restore later, and added sealed beam bulbs for now.

I have a tub for each tractor i restore. And I keep the manuals, and spare parts/ oem removed parts for each tractor in its own container out inthe barn. makes it easy when doing maintenance on them.

You bet I am interested, I buy storage totes all the time and then the wife confisticates them for her craft supplies, maybe if I buy those JD containers I will get to use them for MY stuff.
Thanks for the tip.

Any idea what department they are lurking in? I will NEVER understand the store layouts (except that they are DESIGNED to keep you wandering around half the day...)

Re: John Deere \"roughneck\" storage containers

The stores are a "mess" to people who just want to buy an item...not to "shop" forever. I found them in an area with many othercontainers that were all near the "outside garden" area. I went to a different Walmart this weekend...and they did not have or ever hear of them. Ths store that did have them is the walmart at "The Strip" in North Canton, ohio. Now I beleive a Rubbermaid factory is in Wooster Ohio, so I am wondering if these may be a local trial item only...???not sure though and no-one at the store actually knows. Good luck

Peter are you the reason I can never find those containers? Seems we are both shopping at the same place. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: John Deere \"roughneck\" storage containers

I personally, refuse to go to our super Walmart. I don't like crowds, I hate wandering all over a massive warehouse style building just to find 1 item. These stores are designed and built for women (no offense, ladies!) They re-arrange isles on a weekly basis so that you spend more time searching for the item you need, in hopes while you are searching, you will grab more stuff you dont need, on the way to find the 1 item you do need. Not to mention manuevering in the parking lot. I always park at the back (have to, my Dodge 1 ton with a 8' x 12' flatbed wont fit in the stalls, have to double park it). Usually, walking on the way up to the front of the store, I barely escape getting hit by no less than 3 moms in their SUV's or mini vans, in a hurry to get somewhere else. If I need stuff, I go to TSC. If I need groceries, I go to the Mom & Pop store that is much smaller. I know, you are going to tell me that the Mom & Pop store is more expensive. Thats ok, my sanity and pulse rate are worth a whole lot more than the couple of bucks I might save shopping at Wally World!!

Re: John Deere \"roughneck\" storage containers

A soloution I have come up with is to shop at night. I work nights 4 days a week ( nights a week? ).. and get out of work about 10:30 or 11:30, and htere is a superwall-mart on my way home. If I need anything I just pop in. Still about 20 people in there.. and 2 cashiers.. etc.
