How do you store you logging/tow chain?

[BXman98]

I have an idea to put onto my tractor bucket if I do get three bucket hooks or chain hooks on the top of the bucket, then I'm gonna wrap our 20ft tow chain around the hooks when we aren't using it, but we will still have it there when we do need it.

A little involved but priceless.

That's a lot of chain to loop around hooks on a 4' bucket. I be concerned about one end popping loose without knowing it, snagging on something and doing some damage. Keepers on the hooks would help.

That looks great Rustyiron!

there's about 30 feet in one ammo box, more will fit. If I need more than that, I'll remove the gloves.

I wrap mine on the top of my rear blade. When I am logging I use the rear blade as a little extra safety against a flying chain. I can also quickly grade down the path if I mess it up too much. Adds weight to the rear wheels as well.

Re: How do you store you logging/tow chain and tow strap?

Me and my father just dropped off our BX2370 last night to the dealer and they are putting the loader onto it today. They had the loader assembled and ready to be put onto the tractor last night, so when we dropped off the tractor we went inside and looked at the loader and they put two bucket hooks on the top of the bucket like we had asked for and that's where i'm thinking about putting our tow chain around those two chain hooks.

Very nice! I'd like to find a good place to do that on a cabbed tractor.

Do you more or less keep a box blade on your tractor? if so, think of it as a work bench and start welding brackets on.
