Pitch Fork holder

[Deaner70]

Somene mentioned a while back about a place to carry a pitch fork. Here is what I do. Slip it in and a bungee will hold it if the going gets ruff, otherwise it just stays put.

Been carrying a shovel and steel rake in that tube for months on my 7060. Works great, but the bunggie is a must in rough hilly terrain.

I carry a chain in mine.

I carried a flat shovel in mine in Winter and it worked fine for years. Then one time I must have been a little too close to something stronger than the shovel. Oops

Sorry but I'm with skeets, could just see myself looking up and walking into that!

It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to make some kind of guard to slip over the tines. Maybe a couple of 1' pieces of old garden hose would stay on. Doubled over and each piece slipped over two tines. Lots of other possibilities using wood, leather or rubber.

one could bleed to death before making it back to the farm house for a patch up....don't do it.

If you can put one in the other side too, it might be helpful in the Zombie apocalypse.
