That's like Groundhog Day for me. More than once the saws (plural) have been dumped because I forgot I put them in the bucket. So far I have not buried or run over them.Until one day you think, "Hey I should move that little pile of dirt out of the way" and then feel sick when you see an orange thing, your saw, sticking out of the dirt you moved. This was a brain cramp.
Belongs in the same class as the Big Tool Rack.$149.00??
mill keep it in the bucket or build myself a tool box for the 3pt
I did the same thing with my old Roper fenders but I mounted it on my box blade.I mounted the fenders from an old Roper lawn tractor upside down on my BB.
to make a great tool hauler
Thanks for posting this! I like the wood aspect of it rather than rigging something up and welding etc.I did basically the same thing with a few scraps of wood and I had to buy a threaded rod and a hand full of nuts. I don't carry my saw all the time. Only when it will be needed and I haven't had any problems carrying the saw this way. I think you will like it. A lot better than shoveling your saw out of a pile of dirt.

But with an implement on for ballast I think that would make access more difficult..... If you reverse how you have it mounted on the ROPS the power head of the saw would not be sticking out, just a bit of the bar.
Thanks for posting pics - I like it too. While I am not wild about the powerhead out either, that is probably how I will have to go. I think the ROPs location may be best for my purposes. I need something that will keep the BH seat area clear. Yours does that, the "price is right" and I have a variety of saws. BTW: Check out arboristsite.comI bought a 1x6" and two u bolts and put this together in about 30 Minutes. Having used it for a while, it will get hit by brush if I'm going through tight areas. ( rare on my property ), However, it can be mounted to the ROPS at any angle or location. and I'm in it for <$15.
I looked at a lot of options. It's important to me that I can easily access the tool. I will relocate it if necessary but for now, this seem like a good solution.Thanks for posting pics - I like it too.

Some previous threads have some nice solutions that bolt or more rigorously mount to the tower and I definitely do not want to do that. I am also running mirrors in that location and tried to wipe one off in close brush firewooding last weekend (lots of woods & scrub on my property)
