Carrying stuff on your Kubota?

[yeagisyeag]

I had a great day yesterday, as I finally got to take my B7100 out to my 18 acres to get started on a long list of projects.

I used my dirt scoop to carry a chainsaw, gas can, bar oil and gloves out to an area where a tree had fallen and was blocking a path. Then I used the scoop to haul the cut up wood back to the front of the property for stacking.

What I kept finding a need for was someplace on the tractor to put various items like water bottle, safety glasses, gloves, camera, etc. A spot that would be clean and protective so that things don't get damaged is a definite must now that I've been out there.

When working in a remote area, how do you transport your smaller, fragile items?

Thanks,
Jim

Here's my B7100 out back in the woods:

BXpanded makes a bag that attaches to the back of the seat on a BX style tractor. Just thought I would show you to give you ideas, not sure if it could work in your situation.

Sometimes in the summer I throw a milk crate on there to hold more stuff. Sometime with a project we'll load the bucket up with odds and ends and establish a staging area to hold stuff. This tray just slides on/off in seconds.

You should think about a FEL...

...but with a little work you could mount a tackle box on that wood carrier of yours.

I mounted a piece of 5" PVC pipe with end caps on the back of the seat on my 1850. If you can figure out what silly size the holes are tapped for in the back of your seat you can use these to mount something using hose clamps or a generic bracket. You can also mount a 30 cal ammo can on the back of your seen using these tapped holes. If you do this be careful to mount high enough that you box doesn't hit something like your 3ph top link when you sit and the seat drops a little

Just keep in mind, any additional weight on the seat itself will make it harder , if not impossible for the saftey swtich to kick in if you get off the tractor in a hurry for some reason.

I strap my chain saw to the cutter or box blade with a rubber strap. Never had a problem with it. Small stuff like stick on rear view mirror, nylon strap, rags, most used tools like hammer and crescent wrench, clips, pins etc, 12 volt air pump,extra eye glasses and whatever goes in the tool box mounted on the brace behind the seat. 20 foot chain goes in the pvc pipe in my fel. Other tools go in short the fel tubes with pipe end caps. I've got a loper hanging on the fel. Water jug hangs on the fel control lever. I've got a rain coat in the area where the battery is. Don't know of anything else I've ever needed. I can be anywhere from one to five miles from home in the middle of the woods and at one time or another I needed every one of these things and didn't have it and did a lot of walking.

my dad on his old b7100 used a ammo can and mounted it down to the roll bar behind the seat.
he is getting a new bx24 this weekend

I just wish my fenders were bigger on the BX. I still am looking for the best place to mount the "Barley" pop cooler. That always seems like the hardest thing to find a place for. HA HA!!!

I'd like to see how you have the PVC mounted to your FEL. That sounds like a great idea.
