How do you store you logging/tow chain?

[Buty]

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.

I keep one wrapped around the front brush guard

I have a homemade hitch on my 3ph and I hook the ends in the top of the tube that the top link hooks to and drop the middle in the notches I made to pull from on the cross piece. Holds two 8ft chains well, I keep it on most of the time.

I hang two from my logging hitch.

In two 4" plastic pipes screwed to a piece of plywood and fastented to the stone guard on the operators' platform. I got the idea from posts on TractorByNet.

I don't see them, where do you store them?

Another great idea from TBN!

On the shop floor until I need it. Glad you asked his question because obviously I have the same problem.

A plastic bucket on a carry-all.

I carry 8' + 12' chains in an Army surplus, olive-drab, "flat" 40MM ammo can/ no top/ attached to cross member between ROPS arms behind seat with machine screws, wide fender washers and nuts. Very handy to the 3-Pt. hitch area

Once I start to pull out chain, gravity takes over and it "whirs" out.

Ammo cans are available at gun stores and gun shows for $12-$15.

I carry a small chain in the tube for my loader mount on my kubota. Two 4" pipe plugs and it stays outta sight and dry until needed.

My neighbor keeps up with mine, I ask him!

They hang from the two clevis.

They hang from the two clevis.

I presumed that is where they are used but do you keep them there for storage?

Good one!

Wow! Very nice. This makes me wish I knew how to weld.

I keep my boxblade on my hitch whenever another implement is not needed and I keep a chain wrapped around the harp/hitch framing

Same for me except that I carry two 6' chains that way.
