Looks good. Have you considered staining the wood to protect it from the weather?

Thanks! The wood is treated, so I don't think it needs anything else.

Nice............ but color coordinated saddlebag tool boxes is just plain overkill.

Thanks! They are not color coordinated; they are not "Kubota Orange", but "Home Depot Orange"...:thumbsup:

Thats a good idea to have the shovel handy. Since I run my tractor out in the woods a lot i took two bungee cords and have the shovel right on my ROPS. And since they are in the middle, it doesn't block my view in reverse and it is great as added protection when mowing (backing) under trees. Here's my carryall.

I like the shovel idea. I just had one on today because of the snow... Looks like your carryall was easier to build then mine...:thumbsup:

Yeah, except we don't have anything to tow...

They were originally forks from my step moms old skid steer in Utah. She had two sets of forks but never got the good set. These forks were on a trailer with her old snowmobiles and taken off the trailer when the snowmobiles were traded in for the quad. They were going to scrap the forks but i got them and made them 3 point adaptable. I also had a hole drilled in one fork so I can put a trailer ball in it and move trailers around. The forks were originally blue but had so much rust and looked so rough i painted them black with really thick paint. They certainly have some history behind them but I love having them around. :thumbsup: I have attached some pictures of their primary use. I move a lot of firewood in the spring and summer and they are extremely useful. The picture of all the logs and the tractor in the background, believe this, i cut up about 90% of these one day with my grandpa. All of that wood is cut and stacked and some has already been burned in the stove. All i can say is that i wish i had a hydro top link because I often have to extend the top link to roll the logs off the forks. I also pulled my tiller from its resting place with these forks, in fact i lifted the 3 point and the front end of the tractor left the ground so i used my steering brakes to get around to the gravel and remove the forks to take the tiller home.

Sounds like your steering brakes are easier to use than mine. Mine are above the throttle pedal.:confused2:
