How do you store you logging/tow chain?

[TC 40 Chuck]

Well, DON'T leave one on the floor / floorboards. Especially don't if you're running the brush hog. Not even just for a little bit. ALSO, DON'T ask me how I came by this tidbit of knowledge!
NOW, I use old ammo cans, attached to various points on my skidding winch or tractor. If you QA have a loader, sometimes there's a "slot" between the loader frame and the loader frame that bolts to the tractor. It works well to get some flat stock, about 8" long x 5" wide (whatever will slide into the loader frame opening), and weld a platform (to bolt an ammo can onto) at 90 degrees on one end. Slide the piece into the slot and you have a 'shelf' to bolt an ammo can to . Sorry no pics...

I'm afraid I just toss it in the FEL bucket along with the chainsaw, gas can, wedges, axe, and toolbox.

many guys use ammo boxes. cheap and easy, plus they are water tight. I used a standard 5.56 can and that fits my one chain plus a little room for some pins and stuff.

I also learned this trick here on TBN. Four inch dia. PVC bolted to the loader arm supports. I have chain in the left one and rope in the right one. Drain holes in the bottom.

I want to see if I can make this work on my B3300SU with 504FEL. I bought materials today.

I've got a two inch hitch ball bolted to my drawbar which I loop the chain around while pulling. When not in use, I loop it around the lower 3pt arms which have Pats quick hitch terminations and form a nice slot for chain. It is rare that I have need of a chain with implements attached and never with rotating machinery on the PTO.

I like to have my chain with me at all times but haven't found a good place to put it on my tractor. How do you deal with this? Thanks.

Since more than half my chain usage is with my truck I stow my chains in plastic containers. I've about 14 of the Harbor Freight and Home depot 15' and 20' chains. My son had been eating which holds 2 each 15' chains. I also like Hellman's Mayonnaise 1 gallon jugs.

The plastic doesn't rattle or scratch.

not sure- but are you describing something like this?
This tractor was missing the cross brace when I got it so when I fabbed up a cross support, cut the box in half (to fit). then drilled and tapped some mounting holes in the cross brace and bolted it all together, works well for chains, and I even leave them in there when mowing with the brush hog

Because of this forum I came up with my version of some one else's great idea. The upright for the loader assembly has holes in it at the bottom. I used six inch PVC thick wall pipe with a slip end cap, glued on of course. The cap has a drain hole in the bottom I drilled. Two large bolts go through the loader frame into two holes I drilled in the six inch pipe. At the top I fabricated a brace bracket out of flat stock. I am really pleased with it.
