Now, this setup is far better than using magnets. Magnets over time will cause RUST to happen between the magnetic surface and the mating metal.

If you got sticker shocked by my first rely, then think outside of the box and look elsewhere for the application.

ATVs have used many mounted mesh trays/baskets/bins.

This is a neat one. Should the tractor seat be an issue getting in the way, use this type.

Like most things, these are typically China made. A-B-C-D tend to fit the tractors.

Here's one that you can mount in the bar strip to close the slot and then to the ROPS.

I have that basket also. Had on the backside of the ROPS. It was in the way when I went to use the 3 point. So I moved it to the side using different braces and resting it on the fender. Its great. Love it. Use it all the time. Just don't care for it where it was designed to go.

That is very nice. Thanks for sharing this option. :thumbsup:

There are also some front mounted ATV basket types that would mount to a tractor front weight bar. For John Deere's and Yanmars, it would be a quick attach when needed option.

California the golf bag is a great idea!! I think I know what I'm gonna do.

When stopping in at the Goodwill or Salvation Army stores, these bags are there for under $10. Sure, they are a bit worn, but not too bad for a portable ROPS sack. :cool2:

Here's the post that Jtullis referenced. I use lots of Goodwill stuff repurposed to carry tools on the tractors. $10??? ... $5 is my upper limit for junk like this.

And this pic shows the plastic toolbox lashed to the qhitch. Not to steer this thread off-topic or anything but this pic also shows the lifter I made for the spike harrow, built from a re-purposed exercise machine that a neighbor abandoned when she moved.

Ok, back to the topic of toolboxes.
