One thing that has eluded me for years was a simple way to carry tools on my Kubota. I tried bolting rail based tool racks, to my ROPS, I tried expensive too carrying attachments, I tried holding tools in one hand while attempting to drive with the other. I piled them on the floor and almost went over the side of a mountain when I couldn't reach the brake.... all were awkward, clumsy and got in the way.

Then this: I bought four (4) 200 lb magnets with spring clips on Amazon for about $6. I bought these nifty velcro loops on Amazon for about $9. Simple and incredibly effective. I can carry a chainsaw, shovel, rake, brush cutter, trimmer and a blower with me. All at the same time if I need to... proving that sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. With 200 lb per loop, there's no way they are slipping or falling off. And there's no modification to your tractor. Stick them on or take them off whenever you want.

(One suggestion however - these magnets are no joke. Make sure your finger isn't between the magnet and the ROPS when you stick them on...)

Great idea. Thank you for sharing…how are you securing the tools so not swinging and banging around when moving? (Bungee or using magnet/strap at second location?).

How easy is it to remove or change location of the magnet?

Excellent idea. We bought a package of those different straps from Costco and haven't used them yet. I see that will change now. Thanks.
