I frequently deal with the issue of how to carry my chains conveniently, and I have dumped and lost chains I had forgotten were in the FEL. I previously built (based on a design from someone else on this forum) a vertical 6" ABS pipe which works, but I find I use that holder for shovels, pruners and other things.
Anyway, now, as long as I have my box blade on the tractor, I have a solution. It is not a total solution and won't work for everyone in all situations or at all times but it works for me most of the time. And an added feature is that you don't have to carry, or drag the chain to where you need it - you can simply lift the 'chain carrier' off the tractor and carry it to where you need it - much easier than wrestling with a heavy chain. $13 at TSC. Looks to be durable. Color a bit bright but may be other choices.
There may be other places on some tractors where this could be hung. Pics of the ABS pipe solution and the new chain-carrier (aka feed bucket). The chain in the bucket is a 20' logging chain.
