Welcome to the forum Oldnbusted. You have quite an interesting assortment of equipment!

Well, the Fergy I bought 22 years ago when I first got a little property. A few years later I decided I needed an FEL, but cash was an issue, so the little grey market tractor happened. The TO30 developed an oil leak from the rear main and pretty well trashed the clutch. At least I assume that’s what happened. Haven’t had the time, or frankly the will, to split it to investigate. Then last summer the Hino got hot and popped a freeze plug in the head.….. twice. So although the Ferguson will run, neither one are viable without heavy maintenance.

Once I got to the ”hell with this, I’m buying new” stage, it didn’t take long to zero in on the Branson. Best bang for the buck by far.

Well been working 2610 in the woods have got a lot of clearing done but in between working it we decided we need a cup holder and just any holder I need one that would carry my water jug. So we went into the shop and started going through things and put this together

Moak, that cup holder looks like the work of a farmer! As a farmer we tend to overbuild everything. That is one tough cup holder. I like it!

Looks like it would be easy for that bottle to bounce right out of that holder. Maybe a piece of rubber around the rim? Drill a hole in the bottom for water to drain out when it rains?

Been wondering how to make one for my 2535 century. Good inspiring idea. W. Jones

Fab one up ihave also seen where people are using motorcycle ones and just clamping them onto the handles on the fenders

A water bottle cage for a bicycle hose clamped to the ROPS would also work.

The cup holders on my 3725 work well for bicycle water bottles.
