What have you all improvised or bought for cup holders and toolboxes for the L48/L47s? It is hot, I need to hold a big Yeti cup and a small bag of tools, pins, etc.

Not the same model TLB, but I use a plastic 1/2 gallon bottle (formerly for milk), that either fits behind the seat, or drops into a cavity beside the seat. Tools ? I've given up on a way to carry them, but recognize if I need tools, I probably will be doing what needs to be done in the barn - not out on the job.

Kopliin ATV rack + 4 U-bolts + 10 minutes time = great little tool/cooler/chainsaw hauler with minimal visibility impact.

The orange danglies from the ROPs bolt holes are giant rubber coated twist ties that I wrap around tool handles to secure them to the ROPs.

It isn't fancy, but it works.

I purchased a Mahindra 4540 and storage is slim, anyone have any ideas for storage boxes and where to mount

Double sided tape & cork on aluminum straps to protect painted FEL or so I hope.

I found a very effective cup holder for the L48. I mounted it to the bar right over the dash. It works really well, and is cheap.

I ended up making my own. It's big enough around for a can with coozey or a nalgene bottle and has pieces of pipe for a screw driver.

Thank you for posting these images. I have been looking for a way to mount a mirror on my tractor. I have a bxpanded toolbox mounted on my ROPS. It never occurred to me that I might be able to mount it on my FEL support and then mount the on that. I will have to see if there is clearance enough to do this next time I have the FEL on.

Amazon has a couple of different magnetic based drink or cup holders. Not perfect but they work. Years ago I found a product - StuckCup - that worked well - I don't think that is sold anymore.

And for tools I was able to attach a Harbor Freight tool box behind the seat of my L3410 - built a small wooden platform and added a couple of L brackets and a bungie. Works well and really useful.

That one I posted rocks, $10 bucks, pressure in the base so your drink does not rattle, and install in about 60 seconds :)

I bought two of the top linked cup holders. The magnet is STRONG and I have not had them come off on their own or slip around.

They are large enough to fit my insulated cups and Yeti.

I recommend it.
