What are the yellow vertical holders made from? I've been thinking about doing something along those lines, but attached to the loader posts (the one the loader control is on top of).

Great suggestions. I see lots of use for a 3PH carrier, although in my case I'd like to keep both of the business ends of the tractor clear.
Two specific cases I'm trying to solve are when I have either the chipper or logging winch on the 3PH, need to keep the loader available for shoving brush/trees or leveling the dirt/road, and I want to carry a chain saw, a few work chains, and maybe a pruning saw or clippers. This is what a typical brush clearing or tree removal adventure would look like. However things get mounted, they ideally wouldn't hang out beyond the current tractor extremeties so I don't get more tangled up than I do already.
I've been eying the ROPS bar and the two main stanchions for the loader frame, expecially the space between the stanchions and the tractor itself. I once tried attaching a length of 4" PV pipe to the stanchion but my mounting didn't work too well and I didn't pursue it further.
I might try the pipe thing again. I'm also thinking that a mini milk crate attached to the loader frame woudl be great for chains, rops, and other stuff. Then a pipe or two for thinks with handles like pruning saws, clippers, and even for a chain saw (slide the bar into the pipe).
