Has anyone built a stone box, sometimes called a rock box? Now I don't mean the big box for a counterweight on the 3-pt hitch, I mean a smaller box that bolts to either the front of the tractor or to the side to pick up the occasional rock from field work such as harrowing. Most boxes are small, maybe 16" wide by 18" to 24" long, are shallow and only meant to hold maybe 25 lbs of rock. You dump them at the end of the row.
Problem is I have weights on the front of the tractor, so I don't think I can bolt there and these smaller tractors don't offer a lot of other locations. Anyone else with any ideas or built one? I put them on my foot platform now and that's a bad idea. I'd like to make one for a Kubota MX5100 or similar.
Here are a couple of internet examples. Any help appreciated.
