Tool Bag on ROPS

[airbiscuit]

I have been wanting to add a toolbox to my CUT for a while but there was no good or easy place to do it. As I thought about the fundamentals of what I wanted to carry, I thought - why not just hang a tool bag on the ROPS? I had an unused toiletries bag laying around, and I thought it would be too small until I started stuffing it with my "essentials". I still have room for more! I have a longer/heavier chain wrapped around my drawbar, and the bag sits out of the way of the seat and 4wd & PTO controls. If I wanted/needed more, I could have used a bigger bag.

Made a configurable tool rack for my BX1880

Hi all I was walking around Lowes looking for something to use for mounting a small tool box to the ROPS. I found a craftsman versatack system for the garage wall. I adapted for my use. Im quite happy with it and can configure it to do several things. I didn't have to modify the tractor at all...

Can't be much simpler than that air-b !!

It seems all I ever need for the tractor is a chain.

But, the zero turn is a different story. I’ve yet to find a practical way to carry tools on the mower.

This may very well work.

Thanks.

Good idea. I use a small canvas bag that some cordless tool came in. It tucks in nicely beside the seat.

Good thought AB... my initial concern would be the 'robust-ness' of the bag's strap supporting the weight (especially the chain) of the bag over time. Particularly due to the jouncing around of the bag doing tractor-stuff.

I'd investigate actual commercial/tradesman tool bags/carriers that should stand up better to the abuse.

I have an actual tool bag I can use if this one fails, but I'm thinking this will do okay.

the tool I see missing from the bag is a hammer, seems I always have to bang something. I would also have spare pins and clips. I really like the bag idea.
