    It was really nice until the wind came up for the wrong direction... We still had a good time.

    Here are a few pics of a tool box for tree work I made for Rodney’s daughters raffle. It’s beefy...can throw whatever you need in it and won’t have to worry about it.

    That is nice Cole!

    Do you think you could make something like that, less the lid that would fit on a 3 pt hitch?

    I am sure I can. Trying to visualize what your thinking...one that would mount into a receiver or the box would connect fully to the three point?

    I'm picturing one that would hook up right to the 3 pt. But I might make something out of wood too if I get ambitious some day. lol Something I could put saws and other things in when heading to the woods but something that could be removed quickly too if I want to skid some logs with the tractor. Of course it could also be possible if a box was on the 3 pt that one could raise that up and just use the heavy drawbar for hooking the chain on for skidding but it would be a bit harder to hook up the chain, especially for my back. Anyway, its just a thought for now.

    I could do it...but it would be heavy for sure. Think it over. I can always stop over and we can discuss over a MGD.

    Sounds good Cole. Certainly I'm in no hurry. I have other ideas too.

    Here it is finished with the top handle. No bolts or screws in it...all welded construction. Clear enamel paint as well...like how it looks.
