Tool rack ideas

[adirondackmtnman]

OK fellas, here's the deal...shovels, rakes, axes, and other tools are a pain in the ***** to carry around in the bucket when it's full of other stuff. I've got a few ideas kicking around for attaching a tool rack, but figured I'd implore the ever-inventive minds here on TBN to see what you guys have going on...So feel free to post some opinions/pics. I'm up for anything, whether it's attaching something to the arms of the loader, ROPS, fenders, or otherwise. I've got a welder and torches, so fab's not a problem...Thanks in advance guys.

What I am trying to do is to do a 3 point box, carrier thingy. There are a couple of threads on it here, and a video on it. Not only a carrier, but a tool holder, with a built in chain saw scabbord. The video is at wilsonoutdoors.com

Just used some 6" PVC attached to a carryall for shovels, etc. The bucket carries chains.

I use plastic conduit on the outside of my weight box, plastic chainsaw sleeve on the other side & a metal tray inside for smaller tools & chains. Weight box has scrap iron in it & RR rail legs for a total of over 600#. ~~ grnspot

The pvc is an awesome and cheap idea, I'm just figuring a way to mount it to the tractor, is your carryall on forks?

I've currently got 2/3 Of an oil drum with a drawbar through it filled with a mixture of scrap steel and concrete. Unfortunately it's difficult to get a solid connection to it, due in part to its shape and the thin metal. I guess I could always drill it and put some tapcon studs in it to bolt to, as long as I don't run my bit into any steel. I may just have to buy a spanky new official box to start fresh;-)

Forks? I got the carryall frame from TSC then attached some 2X12's to it. Uses the standard 3-point to attach to the tractor.

Sorry
...the pic was difficult to make out on my phone. Unfortunately I need to keep my weight on the 3 point, as my tractor is a 2wd, so without it loader work sucks.

For loader work I usually just put some bags of sand on the carryall. That's easier than swapping carryall and ballast box back and forth.
