Most important tools on your rig

[RalphVa]

My most important tools are my face shield/ear muffs when running the bush hog or chipper/shredder. I put the face shield on backwards when running the bush hog, as I only need the ear muffs then. Need gloves when running the chipper/shredder. Otherwise, I'm naked but usually have boots on.

Apart from these necessities, I have a tool belt wrapped around the top of my left side FEL tower. It has some vice grips, multi screwdriver, knife, channel locks, big scissor metal cutters, folding pruner saw and maybe a couple other small things in there. In an old floppy brief case affixed to the guard between the radiator and FEL is a short handled "persuader" hammer. On the 3ph, I carry 2 extra ring clips.

I keep some tools for my garden in some leftover 5 gallon buckets affixed horizontally to my corner posts. On a couple posts where I put in to use as a volleyball court, I affixed a 5 gallon bucket to hold the net and ball.

A large cresent wrench. Used to tighting the nut on the top link, and removing the FEL, and as a hammer if needed. I don't have far to get to get to my tool box.

I carry a set of the V jawed Vise Grips on my tractor and use them for these type of things. They can be used on hexes from 9/16 up to about 1.75". You can also make a pretty good hammer by clamping them to a large pin.

I replaced my adjustable "hammer" with a spud wrench. It has all of the uses of the original with the added benefit of working well to align holes, pry things, and poke things. Handy little devil!
