Now I Have a Place for My Saw

[Gordon Gould]

I was inspired by sodamo (THANKYOU) and his thread "Just Another 'Tool Box'" where he mounted a piece of bar stock across the fenders behind the seat to support a tool box. I stole his basic idea and made a shelf for my saw and stuff behind the seat. I used two pieces of 2X2X1/8 angle that I had and mounted them back to back across the ROPS with two pieces of ripped 2 by pressure treated sandwiched between to fill the 3" gap and add stiffness. Then I cut a piece of plywood that rests on the fenders and the new cross support. Not at all fancy as you can see. But now I dont have to carry my saw and everything in the bucket. Wish I did it long ago.

Good deal. Looks like you have space to spare now.

Oh man, I lust after those huge snatch blocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What model Farmi is that? Another one without a lower block mounted on the winch..interesting.

 

[Gordon Gould]

The snatch blocks are big. I got a deal on them from a guy who quit doing serious off road stuff in a pickup. I have elongated the eye on one very slightly in using them though. So they arn't to big. My winch is a Farmi 290. Was there smallest. They no longer make it. It has 6500lb pull and is a good match for my 30 hp tractor.

Sweet. I think I may double steal for myself your already stolen idea and mod it a bit for my own needs. Dag-gummit - it's saw season! 'Bout time, too. I have two huge windfalls down in a ravine and the ground is finally hard enough to even think about working down there.

Kudos, Gordon & sodamo.
