tool holster for ROPs

[KYDan]

I want some sort of holster for carrying a large loping shear on my ROPs. Also, possibly an axe or possibly a ditch axe while I am mowing fence lines. I have a lot of trees with overhanging limbs that I would like to prune while I am there and thinking about it. I have not seen anything commercially available, but I hope some creative soul may already fabricated something that I could copy.

PVC pipe works like a charm for my loper/pruner on my mower, one of the handles will slide right into a 1 1/2" pipe. Any branch that's low enough to knock of my hat gets whacked without leaving the seat.

Thanks, I didn't think of this and I have some 1.5" pipe lying around gathering dust. I can rig them on the tractor and zero turn immediately, and on the cheap!

This is my solution:



It's cheap and also provide some protection from things coming at me from the aft side.

Hey, that's a good idea!

I never cease to be amazed at the ingenuity of the people on this forum.

 

[KYDan]

Yep, that's the reason for my post. Thanks again.

Hey, you the same KYdan on ADVrider? Thought that screen name was familiar.

You gonna trick that Kubota out like you did that Husky?

[KYDan]

Nope, that is a different KYDan.

Another idea, which I believe I picked up here, is to fix an old golf bag vertically to the rops. No pic, but I've got mine attached with nylon straps, which serve well. All long-handled tools, even the small chainsaw are holstered in the bag, and ready when needed.
