I saw a guy use a pair of pvc temporary pressure test plugs in that tube to xreate a storage spot, i loke the pipe though...
Congratulations on your new toy...err...workhorse...you will really enjoy it. Especially the loader and grapple. Have fun and be safe.
My neighbor stores a very short 12 Ga. shot gun with a pistol grip in a piece of pvc pipe right behind the loader arm. (He doesn't have the enclosed cab)
I put about 2500 hours on an early CK30 I bought new in the early 2000s. It had a cute tool box behind the seat that was prefect for the only needed remote tools which were extra pins and a pair of pliers. It’s not like your going to replace a filter mount in the field without going to the shop to get other parts. I broke a few of those off. The hydro filter hangs low.
So glad it finally came in. That looks nice... Now you have an office away from home... Have to call the back 40 to get ya now.
I like to keep, as a farmer, a ball-peen hammer and extra clinch pins, maybe an extra pin to fit the top link on the three point. I like to keep both the cloths pin type and the flip ring type. Sometimes, you will loose one, due to brush snagging, etc. Also, some type of pliers. Also, when swapping implements, you will often need the hammer. OH, and also, a hitch pin which is usually home made from the end of a 3/4 sucker rod, and a small roll of smooth tie wire is often handy. I just bought a new to me tractor, myself. It's a Ford 4610, 1983 model with about 3000 hrs on it. It's been kept in a shed all of it's life, and one owner, who is my friend, so I know the tractor. But it never had a tool box on it. I recon I will be adding a small tool box to it. In my opinion you need a few tools on the tractor, because crap happens if you are running one much, and it doesn't matter if it's new or old, things come loose, etc.
