 Bad River Tractor Tool Rack

Ken, we use a rack that has a narrow slit in it and clamps to the one of the arms of the FEL. The saw blade goes down into it like a holster and is secured there by a rubber bungee cord. It will hold up to 3 saws. On the other side is a rack almost exactly like what landscapers use to mount gas cans on the side of their trailers, it holds a gas can and bar oil.

It is something easily made up yourself.

Best of luck.

An arrangement that would keep the saws somewhere inside the four wheels would be best.



Ken, do the same thing I was talking about but mount it on the inside of the FEL arms. It may restrict you from lowering them 100% when the saws are there, but that shouldn't be a big issue.

The other way you could possibly do it is to make up a rack that mounts to the locking pins for the fold-down ROPS. That way you could quickly put it on & off so it wouldn't interfere with your B/H operation.

Best of luck.

Ken, I doubt the saw bars could reach the tires unless you are running some mighty big saw bars, the FEL arms themselves have to be nearly a 18" from the top surface to the underside of the lift rams. Just from memory there's many inches of clearance between the lift rams and the tire beyond that.

Like I mentioned though, I still think given your concerns it might be a bunch easier (especially since you're not a welder) for you to make a plywood rack that uses a couple of hooks or eyes that the lock pin for your folding ROPS would go through, maybe with the bottom tied into the upper 3pth mount point.

Best of luck.
