Most important tools on your rig

honestly, I dont think what the best tools for one peson is the best tools for the next. I think the only way to know is to put some hours on your machine to the point where you get a little frustrated with not having the right tools next to you. As for me since I have a BX and using it on only 2 acres and dont travel with the BX often, I find I only need three things at this time. I have a wrench to adjust the 3 pt tension,needle nose pliers to pull small hair pins to remove the MMM , and rag for checking oil level. they all fit inside my little PVC toolbox mounted on fel arms. I have a fire extenguisher mounted on rops for a bit a safety.

Yep.. it's a different tool set for the guy that is 100' away from his shop at all times, vs the guy that has run 4 miles down the road and needs EMERGENCY 'GET HOME' tools with him.

I keep 2 pipe wrenches, cresent wrench, pliers, spare pins (which reminds me I need more shear bolts ) and about 10ft of chain. Everything else has been not to far away.

A large cresent wrench. Used to tighting the nut on the top link, and removing the FEL, and as a hammer if needed. I don't have far to get to get to my tool box.

That's ok Lawn King, just explain to us that you have a compact wife you keep in the closet.

That's funny.. I also carry an 'adjustable' hammer in my tractor box as well. strangely enough.. it has jaws on it that seem to fit bolt heads!
