Carrying rake and shovel

[SylvainG]

So I saw this somewhere (not sure if it's here) and thought about posting it since it works pretty well and is cheap

Those magnets are small but really strong.

you missed a great spot, the round tube connecting the lift arms of the front end loader

I would have but I couldn't find covers that fit them.

You stick the shovel in it, quality bungee to hold it in. Just take it out of your working in the woods

Piece of 3” pipe. Works for shovels and rakes too
I don’t normally drive straight downhill, but when I do, the pickaroon don’t fall out in case you’re wondering!

I wondered if I was really dumb enough to catch the shovel sticking out of the cross tube and break it off.

I was.

I've never looked for "plugs" for my FEL cross tube. I wad up old shop rags and stuff in the holes to hold shovels/rakes in place.

So far - when out in the woods - I've yet to break anything off.

Looks like a good idea, thanks for sharing. Were you able to use the existing hardware to connect the clamp to the magnet?

 

[SylvainG]

At first, yes, I used the screw that came with the magnet but it doesn't take much to rip it off the clamp. I bought stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers and the magnet will pull away before both separates now.
