When I go after firewood I use a Kubota RTV and a trailer but I got sick of having the bed of the RTV full of gear. Made a side rack so I can fit more wood in the bed. I'm looking for ideas and sharing mine It holds: Saw Gas/Bar oil Chaps Blow out kit Straps/clevis/pulleys Wedges Axe and Maul Machete Marking paint
Haha i do have toilet paper under the seat. The blow out kit goes on my chaps and it has a tourniquet, quick clot bandage and pressure dressings in it
Yamaha Grizzly 700 and atv trailer. Chain saw Sharpener Chain Clevis Cant hook Pickaroon Axe Log tongs (2) Wedges Marking stick and crayon Water Gas Oil Extra gloves One picture with the trailer full and one picture just tools. One more item sometimes is taking the camera.
I've got several methods... One is everything heaped up on my truck seat. My climbing saddle, harness, lanyards, ropes, clevises, caribiners, etc......yes it's a mess!! I put most of it in a large pail. Then, for cutting in the winter over on the farm, I use my snowmobile and the sleigh.
That picture makes me look forward to some winter cutting. I don't like cutting in a lot of snow but a good covering and about 25ยบ is just perfect cutting. Sorry for the off topic comment. I do all my cutting with my F-150 so I just load most in the bed and if I don't have room after it's loaded full I put it in the cab.
Milk crates aren't just for setting on!! Gas,oil,sharpener,schrench,extra chains go in milkcrate. Saws,chains, tow straps go in bed of truck or trailer. Gary
I tie it all to the dog and take off walking with a treat in my hand OK, not really. I just pile it in my atv trailer. Haul the wood out, then go back for gear.
I found this aluminum toolbox in the basement when I bought my house. I had no use for it so I cut 2 holes in the top and riveted on a handle. Holds my spare chains, sharpener and vice, ear and eye protection, wedges and a hammer, some bottles of water, fuel and bar oil, and a couple screnches. I know when I'm ready to cut if I have this box and my saws, I've got everything I need.
1 milkcrate A whole lot of trips to & from the hauler for everything else I need to buy a new suitcase as that telescoping handle deal busted off, so I will re-purpose the busted suitcase for the task of wood hustling tool hauler. I already do the same with a small suitcase for my rigging rope. This one will be for chains, maul, come-a-longs, etc. So 2 suitcases, 1 milk crate, saws and a cant hook and off I go. Until I forget something...
In the process of customizing a 3-point-hitch carryall for my tractor. Chainsaws go in wooden scabbards on the back of the carryall, everything else in a milk crate. Leaves the bed of the carryall and the bucket of the tractor free to carry firewood.
I should remember all these milk crates, I work for a grocery chain and my boss is actually partially responsible for milk packaging, which included all those crates. I was recently told how much we spend on replacing all the crates that "disappear", it's in the millions of dollars year. I know where all these crates are walking off to now!!! Just kidding, your secret is safe with me! All of ours are blue anyway.
Actually he is right. I don't recall the actual dollar amount it was but when I worked for Borden Dairy it was amazing how much was spent (Big dollars!) every year replacing milk crates (I still have a few...).
I built a stupid wooden rack to hold (2) chainsaws and my logging chains thinking the silly thing would be obliterated when I backed into trees and stuff, but it has actually held up well. I backed into a tree today with it, but sensed I was close to something behind me and stopped in time. It is cheap and ugly, but I am not sure what I would do without it. there is no place on my bulldozer to mount a chainsaw...none!
