Chain storage options

Well, I will have to look more carefully at my brush guard. Obviously your tractor is bigger but I would actually love to get the chain mounted on the front of the CK20 because it is relatively the lightest part of the machine. I had dismissed the brush guard because I couldn't see getting 20 feet of 5/16 chain around it without interfering with the grill or FEL.

Thanks,

Adding another fifty pounds or so of chain up on the front end work well.

One wrap around the brush guard is about 4 feet of stored chain.

I will definitely give the brush guard storage solution a try before seeking alternate solutions. It would in fact be killing two birds with one stone as the CK20 with BH or rotary mower hanging off the back definitely could use more counter balancing weight up front. I'm overseas on business so haven't had a chance to experiment since your last post.
