Cup holder

[Kep1a]

I kept looking for a good solution for a cup holder for my 40oz thermal bottle and could not find any solution for my thermal mug.

I then stumbled on this ant it was perfect! It sticks to my FEL mount and is both easy to use and out of the way. Here in Tucson hydration is so important.

I found one on TYM Custom, that hooks into FEL frame, to give joy a gr. Handle, and a cup holder.

I used the top to one of the Frontier document holders. Just put a bolt through one side into a hole already there on the FEL tower.

Take a look at the link and I think you will be suprised at how innovative and simple this solution is. I was amazed at how well it works.

I have used this for three road maintenance sessions and can honestly say that I love this thing. I will post pictures later but I can honestly say I'm a lover of this hydration product!

is it strong enough that a full 1 qt water bottle doesn't slide down when driving the tractor on a rough road?

 

[Kep1a]

yes I have a 40oz bottle that I use that works fine.

Years ago (on this forum) I believe it was Mark Chalkley (MChalkley)....came up with a nifty idea.

Bought a "Big Gulp" (I think it was called) and used some kind of epoxy glue to glue some old and very strong PC hard drive magnets to the bottom of the cup. Now, it simply sticks on metal fenders.

My experience with a magnetic cup holder (from Northern Tool or Tractor Supply, I think) was not good. The cup holder is made from a durable rubber-like material but the magnets would not hold onto any if my tractor metal, including the fenders. So I drilled a hole in the holder and mounted it to the engine cowling (cover) between my legs using one of the top screw holes. It has held fine for 3 years now.

Yes, I remember the famous "Chalkley Cup". Wasn't that close to 20 years ago?

Stop aging us....



But yes, it was quite a while ago.

I didn't have a tractor back then (was looking) but I DID use my wife's uncle's tractor to cut the farm (he lives next door and was 1/2 his farm).

The fenders on the IH 444 didn't really allow a flat surface so I never tried the idea. Today I've got an IH 1066 that DOES have flat fenders and think about it nearly every time I'm out however, I just hydrate & go do my stuff. It's nice to just come home during day even if to just get a drink.

Still......I DO keep remembering that and have some old HD magnets so I might make one at some point, out of respect to those who tried it, if nothing else.

I'm cheap and repurpose stuff for use on my old working tractors and lawnmowers.

I love the coffee can/jug idea. Bolted, I assume.

I got this from Amazon recently. Seems to be sticking pretty well after a couple of hours of mowing. I thought for for $10 bucks it was worth a try. Limbs kept knocking drinks out of the ridiculously large Kubota fender holder.

I went with this one. Beefy, excellent hold.

Well I can honestly say this works great it has some sticky material on the inside so the bottle won't slip. It is adjustable for bottle size and will not fall off my loader mount even when I bang it with my knee. It just yields to my knee and snaps back into place. The strap makes it easy to securely grab it with no risk of dropping it when pulling it away from my loader. Here is southern AZ hydration is so important.

Thanks for sharing that link. I just added it to my Christmas list.

I got this one.. On my Workmaster 40 it fits perfectly in the back left corner behind the seat. Holds a quart metal thermos easily, and probably would hold something quite a bit bigger. I put a bulky sock over the thermos to increase insulation and snug it up in the thing. The magnets are pretty strong, but I wouldn't try to use it unless the bottom was on something solid. It also worked in a corner of the floor, against one of the fenders, and might well on other tractors.

I just purchased this one and besides being a cup holder it will hold my cell phone. It attaches firmly to the grab handle on my fender. Now I have hot coffee when I am plowing on my open cab.

How about a big piece of pipe or pvc pipe
put a cap on the bottom and one for the
top and get it big enough to put some insulation
in it to help keep hot or cold what your drinking
and attach where ever you can or have space
I have a cup holder on both sides of my tractor
