Cooler mount for tractor?

[BoneDigger]

Is there a universal cooler mount for a tractor? I have a 35 HP NH but really I'm just looking for some way to attach a small cooler for bottled water. I assume something universal would work. Maybe something ROPS mounted? Ideas?

The loader bucket is your universal go to. Fill it with ice and BEvERages.

I made a couple of different versions when I was experimenting with my personal cooling system. That's another story.

The first was just a couple of pieces of aluminum angle attached to the ROPS with a file box zip tied to those.

The second still remains on the tractor but I no longer have a cooler in it. It is a boxed in frame made from bed frame angle iron and screwed onto the ROPS.

Bungee Cords are "universal". I don't know what your tractor looks like but do you have room behind the seat?

My used tractor came with a bracket for a 5-gallon water jug welded to the back side of the ROPS. After splitting my head open a few times on it, I took my angle grinder with a cutoff blade to it. Now I haul a small cooler with water bottles on my lap. When I get to the area I need to mow or work, I set the cooler under a shady mesquite tree and go to work.

Hey TractorGuy! I really, really like that open station pilot comfort setup. :thumbsup: I've been gnawing on the same idea but using an A/C setup. I'm unsure how to mount the compressor though. I figure if I ever build/find a cab, it will be easy to carry it over.

I made a thread on it sos not to hijack this one any more than I have.

A couple milk crates attached to the back of the ROPS with u-bolts:

....back to the OP's original question,.......just something to hold maybe 6 bottles?

Here is a easy bracket.....

If you have a steel hood - Magna Cooler

That is if you don't mind looking at cooler in front mowing :laughing:

Thanks everyone. I'm just looking for a way to put a small cooler with ice somewhere while mowing. It won't fit behind the seat.

Do you think one of these bicycle rack coolers would sit on the fender?

My tractor has a cup holder and I get by with an insulated cup. I only have 7 acres though so not far to refills.
