 Bad River Tractor Tool Rack

Ken:

We're having the usual start-up problems. I have a limited inventory and am working on better packaging, safety and warning labels for my product liability insurance carrier and the website hasn't been updated yet.

We launched another inventory build and am fine tuning the rest of the stuff.

I tried adding some photos to my TP photo list and managed to wipe out all of them or rather they are beaming around in my computer somewhere!

The tool rack frame attaches to the rigid drawbar with a pinch plate and has some stabilizer bars toward the top. They are adjustable and angle downward to mount in the top link bulkhead by using a longer top link pin. Two vertical tubes, upgradable to four allow storage for long handled rakes, garden hoes, shovels, forks. A horizontal system can hold either a D handled shovel, ax or string trimmer.

The entire framework fits between the lift arms and its open center architecture allows a PTO shaft to fit through it. You can then use practically any implement in conjunction with it.

I haven't figured out how to attach a picture in a message, so I'll send you some info. Thanks for Asking!!

No, it currently isn't made to handle a saw & gas, however, if you look at my Bad River site, you will see that we show a cargo carrier inserted into a hitch adapter carrying a chain saw, gas, oil and shelled corn.

Are you planning to use the 3 point for other implements while carrying a saw? I have extra holes in the frame for adding some more stuff like a box.

Ken:
A second tool rack offered pinches on the square tubing of the hitch receiver and that may get around your TnT situation. A wood box could be fabricated to hold you stuff and angle irons could be built to hold the box in place from some of the extra frame holes supplied in the tool rack.

The tool rack was designed more for your average homeowner for holding shovels, racks, brooms, etc.

If you laid all your saws and fuel cans out on the floor and compressed them like in storage you could measure this and give me an idea of the required footprint required for a box (i.e 16" x 36", etc.) and we could fab something up.

Do you put your saws in cases? I have a Homelite, so it must be stored in a molded case since the chain lub oil drips everywhere when setting). Once it has leaked a pint or quart of oil I pour it out when starting a brush fire.

I shut Bad River down. It was more of a hobby business that wasn't making any return on investment. Still have a couple of hitch adapters left. I felt the products were good but couldn't get a broad enough audience. In addition to the hitch adapter, the tool rack and rear ballast were good as well. Our initial patented product was a pickup rear bumper step. GM now has one formed within its bumper. Ford has a flip down step with hand rail. Atleast their engineers found me and liked the product.
