I love that Melissa is always smiling in your videos, they must be fun to make! Her effervescence is a nice addition to your informative down home videos. I also love the story about the buck, good on you Mike 👍🏼
How refreshing to re-watch this video on one of our hottest days of the year. Seeing the snow dropped the temperature here a good 20 degrees 👏🏼😊 Sure enjoyed watching about the quick hitch and the tool carrier again. Thanks for sharing AGAIN.
A definite plus for you, I think your idea of bringing the dump trailer as well is going to be a big game changer for your adventures in the woods. I've been watching your channel almost since you started, just got to say wow,what a difference a couple years makes!
Very cool attachment! I'm considering a Quick Hitch as well. Currently have Pat's Easy Change system which is nice, but I still have to hook up the top link. Thanks for all that you contribute to the rural living community with you videos!
Mike, besides the grapple, which is the handiest attachment on earth for handling logs and brush, you should get a pro driven skidder,winch! The one thing that drives me crazy is how many times you handle your fire wood! Ex: I cut the tree down, I limb it and cut it in 2 or 3 pieces. Winch the logs up to the skidder plate and hook the draw chains to the skidder. Drag the logs out to an open field and stack the logs to cure for a year. I then carry the logs with the grapple up to the house one at a time and cut the fire wood to length next to the splitter. Are you with me? The first time I handle the wood is when I split it! I then stack it in the shed next to the outside furnace. I'm not a lazy man but I watched my Dad do everything the hard way for over 60 years! He handled wood 5 or 6 times before it finally went in the stove!
Mike, being from Connecticut I’m familiar with this product. The one I used was rated for about 600 pounds. Used it for all kinds of things. Storage hopper for pellets for the stove, firewood carrier, have even used it as a makeshift vegetable stand. The two arms in the back you can place plywood on and make a nifty sign. We chained it to a tree so it wouldn’t walk away. Yes you can haul the trailer behind it. My kids used to say I looked like the baggage tug driver at Bradley International Airport. Heard from a friend they are/have come out with a new product where you can mount a string trimmer to the roll hoop of say the RK37 or your zero turn mower.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You guys are just fun to watch! Keep up the good work. I'm not sure, tho, how you manage to do all of this video work, AND get anything done around the property!
Glad you enjoyed the "Kodak moment" with your deer encounter. Lots of times those are just as lasting. Now...only thing you need on the quick hitch is a hydraulic TOP LINK. Used the one Kapper Outdoors has on his tractor and it's awesome. Not just for hooking up equipment from inside the cab or up on the tractor seat, but adjusting it on the fly out in the field.
My best 'didn't get hunting story' I was hunting the local blacktail. I stepped over a log and onto a sleeping black bear. He went one way and I the other. I think I am still running.
growing up in Southern Iowa on a large farm,we had a quick hitch on our bigger Tractor,defintley makes life easier and one person hookup,when I bought my 2032 John Deere this year that was one of my purchases before I left the Dealership in Anchorage,love it and wouldnt be without it
I made a carry all for my tractor. I find to be probably the most useful attachment I have. Not used the most, but most useful. The ideas you have for using it are just scratching the surface of what you will do with this very nice carry all!!!
1st thing I thought of with the tool rack is load it up with coolers and cookin utensils and have a family cookout in the woods around a fire pit. Yeah, I think about food too much. Man purse?! Good one Melissa! 😂
A great video as always Mrs + Mr Morgan. Thank you for it! First, who makes the quick hitch and does it seem to be made of good quality and yes, I would love to have that man purse. People would not make fun of your man purse, once they see that you have your rifle strapped to it.
Melissa, you were reading my mind on the exit. Y’all were wrapping up the video and I was thinking c’mon do the downstairs thing and off you went. Had me snorting out loud! I think that new implement is awesome! Can’t wait to find out more details. Only one thing might improve it - spray on bed liner inside it. Not even powder coat will last long with tossing tools and logs in that. But it does look really well thought out.
Loved the "Man Purse " like your toys Mr. Morgan and the reviews . Have a great day . Break over 7 hours of snowplowing to do here , Bring your tractors you could push my banks back , I have pushed snow so far this year as high as the hood of my truck and its only the 1st week of December . Take care
I used to be organized but just too many irons in the fire now. I think I will just makes some videos and edit myself back organized again! Thanks for the tip :)
Hello another great video here's what we did when we bought our property we bought a Polaris midsize 500 Crew SXS and 60inch pull behind finish cut mowing deck , 2 high wheeled 22in push mowers, and 18in chainsaw 2 axes, 3 shovels, a 4500 lbs winch and we went to work clearing our land very 1 hard working spring later it was looking 💯 percent better. Now the Polaris is a few payments away from done we bought a New Holland Boomer 33 tractor with a loader and some goodies for the back of the tractor lol. I hope this may help someone plan their outdoor adventure SXS equals family trips and vacations and once that's done a tractor is a great addition to your land.
That is a wicked awesome attachment Mike! Can’t wait to see what all ya put on it, let us know how much wood it will haul compared to the ranger! Take care!
Hi Mike and Melissa... Very ingenious design. Well thought out so that everything has a function. No wssted space. Being able to carry the equipment to a job site can be a downfall with a tractor. now 😊 Also, loved watching the snow fall.
I forgot.... When you said you had a new attachment for sure I was betting it was Melissa, she sure seemed "attached" to that RK55 while scrapping the driveway, I just figured it would be "share the seat" time...LOL. Nice story of your hunting experience, it is not always "go out a kill something" it is go out and enjoy "mother nature" and all the creatures, I remember hunting on a cold snowy nasty day in upstate New York, I was on one side of a creek, sitting all huddled up, and spotted a large doe coming through the woods in my direction, she came down to the the creek and stopped for a drink then started right straight at me, she got about 10 feet from me before she realized something was different, she stomped the ground a couple times, then just continued on, but while I could also reach out and touch her I could see the ice forming on her whiskers, it was times like this that make "hunting" such a great sport.
I dont personally have one for my tractor but I have seen a lot of guys in my area with 3 pt platforms on the back of theirs to create a trunk, if you will. I’m anxious to see how you test this product to see if it is worth the expense vs a home made diy version. WOuld love to see more of the quick connect, I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while now.
Good video folks, you work well together . Like the "HAUL-ZALL" you got for sure. Keep up the good videos. The hunt was the fun part. Let your Daughter get the deer meat for the table and keep her in the game if she wants to hunt. Thanks for sharing.
Tool and equipment storage is one thing that is very lacking on tractors. Nice review of that tool rack (man purse, haha). I could use that this weekend for volunteer heavy equipment disaster cleanup from Hurricane Michael. It would need a lot of suitcase weights, though. When you start using it, test out how much you can comfortably lift with the grapple with that ballast. As always, great video.
I'm one of the many who have suggested the quick-hitch...I'm sure you'll be liken it. That vise is really nice! My question and comment: Does the rear gate still open when it's in the receiver? and maybe it would serve better if it was mounted off one of the sides. Just my initial thoughts. I do like that 'manly, man box'
Mike. I was one of “those guys” that kept telling you to get a quick hitch. You will wonder why it took you so long to get it. It is a necessity when you have more than 1 implement (powered or not). It does require initial setup for each implement, but once done well worth it. Next, as I and others have said, get a hydraulic top link and a hydraulic tilt cylinder. It makes adjusting a plow, land plane, blade, box blade a 2 second operation. I wouldn’t steer you wrong Mike.
It reminds me of what you built in video # 106, which reminds me that we haven’t seen it in a long time. Still have it? Glad to see you got the quick hitch :)
Mike, You need an inverter mounted on the tractor, and run a cord to the new tool rack, since it does not swivel there is no stress, you could put a water proof junction box with a duplex plug, power a good sized work light, , a corded on could be used where you need it, tractor running, would cost pennies compared to the batteries for a same size light, I can see alot of good things with this, not to mention, charge the battery chain saw on the way to the woods and on the way back..
Tried a quick hitch because I'd borrowed an implement that had the lower links replaces with rusted over bolts, but the quick hitch became more of a hassle than the telescoping lower links especially if the tractor and implement weren't both on level ground. BTW ...it's was entertaining to see Melissa clap her hands at the start the video (especially given the discussion on it so many videos back) -- guess the signature start is spreading :D
That additional trailer hitch and vise is a cool idea. Yes Melissa, I still have the dent in my shin from about 50 years ago, when I ran around the back of my buddy's car and 'DONG!!!!! I think the car rang like a bell for an hour after that. Geez I can still feel it. My buddy?...all he could do was laugh at me,..I think though he was laughing at the 'new language' he was hearing.
Not to blow smoke, but this was a really enjoyable video. The comedy aspect is very entertaining. The things M says and the look on Mikes face are priceless. We have a tie for quote of the day. First was Mike saying " I edit out the unorganized parts of my life" and second was Melissa calling the manly new tool rack a "man purse". Really funny stuff. Keep it up and remember if you run out of room in your garage you can certainly store some of those fun toys at my place.
Ok Melissa that “Girl Purse” could be used to go through the shopping mall to haul shoe boxes, clothes, boutique items and whatever you ladies sneak into the house. Loved your comedy in this video. You mentioned that in PA your not allowed to leave your hitch ball in the receiver of the vehicle? What is the thought behind that? I leave mine in so people won’t park or want to stay away from my backside in our state. You are correct about catching your leg or knee on the hitch but after that I always remember that if any vehicle or implement can toe or haul to always approach & look down and also up to see what could potentially harm me. Good luck filling your new purse!
You're going to love your quick hitch. I've had one for about 3 years now and absolutely love it. As for the big tool rack, I think they are great but I just can't justify the $1600 price tag. They did go on sale right after the summer for about $200 off. Anyway have fun with your new toys. I still want to like Mike!
Man purse..omg I literally almost choked to death on the water I was drinking bc Melisa made me laugh so unexpectedly. That's a serious tool storage device there mr.morgan. you guys are really funny together. Classic Eye roll and head shake at 18:25
That is a nice piece of equipment that they put some thought into. You can load you tools in it, then drop the legs and set it to the side (it will keep Mike from denting it with a tree - thinking it's a new rear bumper). Curious how the chainsaw box works. Didn't see enough detail. Is there a slot for the blade?? Let us know more details, like capacity. To be a better ballast, could you put a few cement pavers in the bottom instead of suitcase weights? Maybe even a nice heavy piece of steel plate maybe?
@jgrella8280 well i did a little looking and big tool rack wants 1300.00 for the one like Mike has just in a yellow/black paint scheme. While it would be handy I can't see 1300. I'd rather put that towards a grapple.
Love the video made in the snowfall. Hoping to get some down this way Sunday night. I like the heck outta that set up! Hope the price is right and I'll have one. For extra wood carrying space or whatever, put you a hitch 'game carrier' platform on it. Melissa had some goodide's for it 😉
What the Big Tool Rack hasn't got and urgently needs is a fold down seat. One of the things you always need on a new property is Partner Approval and your Partner can only give that if you can Safely carry your Partner out to the site.
Mike, Big tool rack is a vendor on a Deere forum I belong to. Appears very well made and as you have demonstrated they have numerous add-ons to customize it to your needs. Don’t they also have a mesh wall that mounts to the front to secure smaller items to? It is also a great way to organize a lot of your equipment and outdoor tools in one spot even if you never pick it up with the 3 point. All that said, I was really interested in one, until I saw the price. I am curious if the partnership with Rural King will net a reduction in cost? From what I remember they started at around $1600-$1700. Jeff
Something that you and or Big Tool Rack need to work on are the wheels. If you take it to a place on your property I would want the option to move it around without the tractor. Long story short the option of much larger pneumatic tires. Similar to what one would find on a pressure washer, but maybe a bit larger to carry the weight.
I was in for one until it became a "man purse" - LOL -- Mike, she makes the videos even better. Great job as always. Truly enjoy the videos and how they are done. I do like it though...looks like the fully loaded optioned one goes for $1299
Good video. Quick question, I hope you can get to it. Have or did you consider a pats quick hitch? If you have, why did you not end up with it? The reason why I ask, I purchased one. I hated it. It was never adjusted right, one side would dog in and snap closed while the other did not... and the biggest issue when raking or with the grader blade on it would pop out on one side from time to time, the lock would pop open allowing it to come out. I sold it for 100 bucks. Not impressed. So, that being said, I am curious how much, or if this set up is better... As you can imagine I am not gun shy on the whole quick hitch idea....
This dude has the life! Homestead and prefect wife! GOD BLESS you two!!!!!!!
I love that Melissa is always smiling in your videos, they must be fun to make! Her effervescence is a nice addition to your informative down home videos. I also love the story about the buck, good on you Mike 👍🏼
Great tag team video! Look forward to seeing Mike put the new attachment through its paces!
How refreshing to re-watch this video on one of our hottest days of the year. Seeing the snow dropped the temperature here a good 20 degrees 👏🏼😊 Sure enjoyed watching about the quick hitch and the tool carrier again. Thanks for sharing AGAIN.
Looks Like The Tool Rack Will be a Great Addition to your assortment of attachments!!👍👊
A definite plus for you, I think your idea of bringing the dump trailer as well is going to be a big game changer for your adventures in the woods.
I've been watching your channel almost since you started, just got to say wow,what a difference a couple years makes!
Very cool attachment! I'm considering a Quick Hitch as well. Currently have Pat's Easy Change system which is nice, but I still have to hook up the top link. Thanks for all that you contribute to the rural living community with you videos!
Love you Guys.You make Viewers feel like Family.Can't wait to watch your next Video.

I am still finding videos that i somehow missed. Nice change to go down memory lane and see how much things have changed around camp morgan
Enjoyed your deer hunt story . I wish people would use that logic in my part of the country. Thats what makes a nice buck .
What a great new tool and wonderful presentation. Thanks again Mr & Mrs Morgan.
Mike, being from Connecticut I’m familiar with this product. The one I used was rated for about 600 pounds. Used it for all kinds of things. Storage hopper for pellets for the stove, firewood carrier, have even used it as a makeshift vegetable stand. The two arms in the back you can place plywood on and make a nifty sign.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. You guys are just fun to watch! Keep up the good work. I'm not sure, tho, how you manage to do all of this video work, AND get anything done around the property!
Looks like a fancy carry-all. Probably cost 3x as much as the one I built. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
Glad you enjoyed the "Kodak moment" with your deer encounter. Lots of times those are just as lasting. Now...only thing you need on the quick hitch is a hydraulic TOP LINK. Used the one Kapper Outdoors has on his tractor and it's awesome. Not just for hooking up equipment from inside the cab or up on the tractor seat, but adjusting it on the fly out in the field.

Woah!
That tool rack is neat and I knew there was another set of stairs on the property.. You two are a Great team...
growing up in Southern Iowa on a large farm,we had a quick hitch on our bigger Tractor,defintley makes life easier and one person hookup,when I bought my 2032 John Deere this year that was one of my purchases before I left the Dealership in Anchorage,love it and wouldnt be without it
"its like a man purse, but larger" Melissa you crack me up
❄️❄️❄️❄️ Better watch those stairs, the snow will slip----. Who else would give a reveal in the snow. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
I think that RK37 is turning into a Swiss army knife 👍👌
Well thought-out carrier. Enjoy your new "man purse" Mike and leave room for the beer cooler and, the lip gloss of course.
I made a carry all for my tractor. I find to be probably the most useful attachment I have. Not used the most, but most useful. The ideas you have for using it are just scratching the surface of what you will do with this very nice carry all!!!
1st thing I thought of with the tool rack is load it up with coolers and cookin utensils and have a family cookout in the woods around a fire pit.
Yeah, I think about food too much.
Man purse?! Good one Melissa! 😂
Yeah I'm from Australia, I thought it was a barbeque :) With drink holders.
A great video as always Mrs + Mr Morgan. Thank you for it! First, who makes the quick hitch and does it seem to be made of good quality and yes, I would love to have that man purse. People would not make fun of your man purse, once they see that you have your rifle strapped to it.
Love Melissa jacket. Like the carry all from RK thank you for all the videos. I laugh when i read her coat.
Best part of this video , can’t forget the snacks , priceless 👍🏻 awesome Melissa
Melissa, you were reading my mind on the exit. Y’all were wrapping up the video and I was thinking c’mon do the downstairs thing and off you went. Had me snorting out loud!

I used to be organized but just too many irons in the fire now. I think I will just makes some videos and edit myself back organized again! Thanks for the tip :)
Mellisa, you crack me up every time you head down the stairs. Oh yeah, good video Mike..... cheers
i love Melissas down stairs walk
Hello another great video here's what we did when we bought our property we bought a Polaris midsize 500 Crew SXS and 60inch pull behind finish cut mowing deck , 2 high wheeled 22in push mowers, and 18in chainsaw 2 axes, 3 shovels, a 4500 lbs winch and we went to work clearing our land very 1 hard working spring later it was looking 💯 percent better. Now the Polaris is a few payments away from done we bought a New Holland Boomer 33 tractor with a loader and some goodies for the back of the tractor lol. I hope this may help someone plan their outdoor adventure SXS equals family trips and vacations and once that's done a tractor is a great addition to your land.
I just use my link box for hauling stuff around. It looks like a nice tool, but deffo a luxury piece!
You and your wife make a perfect team. That ending.. lol!
Hey Hunter hope things are great for you!
That is a wicked awesome attachment Mike! Can’t wait to see what all ya put on it, let us know how much wood it will haul compared to the ranger! Take care!
Cant wait to see that tool rack in action! It'll be an awesome set up with the dump trailer in tow.
Hi Mike and Melissa... Very ingenious design. Well thought out so that everything has a function. No wssted space. Being able to carry the equipment to a job site can be a downfall with a tractor. now 😊
Also, loved watching the snow fall.
The quick hitch is def the way to go. It is like coupling up freight cars. Really takes the headache out of changing implements.
Looks like a useful tool. Looking forward to see all its uses
Liked the deer hunting story. In have done that before and it's pretty cool to sit and watch and , make those decisions
It's about the only way I can hunt. My feet get cold too quickly standing or sitting in one spot.
I forgot.... When you said you had a new attachment for sure I was betting it was Melissa, she sure seemed "attached" to that RK55 while scrapping the driveway, I just figured it would be "share the seat" time...LOL. Nice story of your hunting experience, it is not always "go out a kill something" it is go out and enjoy "mother nature" and all the creatures, I remember hunting on a cold snowy nasty day in upstate New York, I was on one side of a creek, sitting all huddled up, and spotted a large doe coming through the woods in my direction, she came down to the the creek and stopped for a drink then started right straight at me, she got about 10 feet from me before she realized something was different, she stomped the ground a couple times, then just continued on, but while I could also reach out and touch her I could see the ice forming on her whiskers, it was times like this that make "hunting" such a great sport.
I dont personally have one for my tractor but I have seen a lot of guys in my area with 3 pt platforms on the back of theirs to create a trunk, if you will. I’m anxious to see how you test this product to see if it is worth the expense vs a home made diy version. WOuld love to see more of the quick connect, I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while now.
Good video folks, you work well together . Like the "HAUL-ZALL" you got for sure. Keep up the good videos. The hunt was the fun part. Let your Daughter get the deer meat for the table and keep her in the game if she wants to hunt. Thanks for sharing.
Melissa loves going down the steps to the basement, huh!? LOL Love you guys!
You will love the quick hitch
Love that story mike. That must of been a great experience!
That’s awesome. I just added something to my list. Let us know when you get information in their availability.
Two thumbs up! 👍🏼
“Stud bucket” -well said
Tool and equipment storage is one thing that is very lacking on tractors. Nice review of that tool rack (man purse, haha). I could use that this weekend for volunteer heavy equipment disaster cleanup from Hurricane Michael. It would need a lot of suitcase weights, though. When you start using it, test out how much you can comfortably lift with the grapple with that ballast. As always, great video.
I'm one of the many who have suggested the quick-hitch...I'm sure you'll be liken it.
That vise is really nice! My question and comment: Does the rear gate still open when it's in the receiver? and maybe it would serve better if it was mounted off one of the sides. Just my initial thoughts.
I do like that 'manly, man box'
Love it will be looking in to one. Thanks Melissa and Mike.
that toolbox behind the tractor looks like a great place to have dogs , been thinkiing about something like that
Mike. I was one of “those guys” that kept telling you to get a quick hitch. You will wonder why it took you so long to get it. It is a necessity when you have more than 1 implement (powered or not). It does require initial setup for each implement, but once done well worth it. Next, as I and others have said, get a hydraulic top link and a hydraulic tilt cylinder. It makes adjusting a plow, land plane, blade, box blade a 2 second operation. I wouldn’t steer you wrong Mike.
Chicken Lady called it a man purse..LMAO..I about fell over. You got your hands full with that one Mike.
Yes I do
It reminds me of what you built in video # 106, which reminds me that we haven’t seen it in a long time. Still have it? Glad to see you got the quick hitch :)
I really enjoy your videos
It's a satchel not a purse lol. Great video. Looking forward to seeing more of the new tool rack.
Nice scenery up there.
Mike, You need an inverter mounted on the tractor, and run a cord to the new tool rack, since it does not swivel there is no stress, you could put a water proof junction box with a duplex plug, power a good sized work light, , a corded on could be used where you need it, tractor running, would cost pennies compared to the batteries for a same size light, I can see alot of good things with this, not to mention, charge the battery chain saw on the way to the woods and on the way back..
Tried a quick hitch because I'd borrowed an implement that had the lower links replaces with rusted over bolts, but the quick hitch became more of a hassle than the telescoping lower links especially if the tractor and implement weren't both on level ground.
BTW ...it's was entertaining to see Melissa clap her hands at the start the video (especially given the discussion on it so many videos back) -- guess the signature start is spreading :D
I found the Pat's hitch was easy to hook up & more flexible!
Don't know how you managed without a Quick Tach for the 3 pth, the best thing I got for my tractor.
This is like the qvc for guys channel looks like another great product :)
Got to put your logo on it like wranglerstar did , but nice purchase , next should get the York rake for the gravel works awesome 👍🏻
That additional trailer hitch and vise is a cool idea. Yes Melissa, I still have the dent in my shin from about 50 years ago, when I ran around the back of my buddy's car and 'DONG!!!!!
I think the car rang like a bell for an hour after that. Geez I can still feel it. My buddy?...all he could do was laugh at me,..I think though he was laughing at the 'new language' he was hearing.

Keep it up and remember if you run out of room in your garage you can certainly store some of those fun toys at my place.
I also liked the bit about snacks!
Snacks, love it. Always have snacks!
How could you give this a thumbs down?! Y’all made me smile several times throughout. Good job!!
wow another thing i didn't know i needed until you introduced it.
The hooks at the back you could put a pipe across it and run barbwire or horsewire rolls for fencing projects.
It ain't over till Melissa walks down the stairs.
What about up the stairs?
ride the wave as long as you can !!!!!
Ok Melissa that “Girl Purse” could be used to go through the shopping mall to haul shoe boxes, clothes, boutique items and whatever you ladies sneak into the house.
Loved your comedy in this video.
You mentioned that in PA your not allowed to leave your hitch ball in the receiver of the vehicle? What is the thought behind that?
I leave mine in so people won’t park or want to stay away from my backside in our state.
You are correct about catching your leg or knee on the hitch but after that I always remember that if any vehicle or implement can toe or haul to always approach & look down and also up to see what could potentially harm me.
Good luck filling your new purse!
It seems it is, "Mel's Job Box" for you Mike. What better way to keep you organized (lol), great new addition looks very practical.
Mrs M you had me laughing non stop. That vise will be handy.
Hey Mike and Melissa! Found your channel about a month ago! Have enjoyed watching from middle Georgia. Neat to see some snow... :)
You're going to love your quick hitch. I've had one for about 3 years now and absolutely love it. As for the big tool rack, I think they are great but I just can't justify the $1600 price tag. They did go on sale right after the summer for about $200 off. Anyway have fun with your new toys. I still want to like Mike!
thanks I will be watching for it.@RK Tractor Guy
Man I wish we had a Rural King in north Georgia!!! Or maybe it's a good thing because I would never have any money 😂
RK Tractor Guy, Cartersville
lovely work. like all of your videos. well done mellisa your brilliant. big hello from ireland.
Man purse..omg I literally almost choked to death on the water I was drinking bc Melisa made me laugh so unexpectedly. That's a serious tool storage device there mr.morgan. you guys are really funny together. Classic Eye roll and head shake at 18:25
Now that’s a nice piece Napa mike
Yeah. Looks very useful. You could haul that big buck home.
nice tool rack
That is a nice piece of equipment that they put some thought into. You can load you tools in it, then drop the legs and set it to the side (it will keep Mike from denting it with a tree - thinking it's a new rear bumper). Curious how the chainsaw box works. Didn't see enough detail. Is there a slot for the blade?? Let us know more details, like capacity. To be a better ballast, could you put a few cement pavers in the bottom instead of suitcase weights? Maybe even a nice heavy piece of steel plate maybe?
Great idea.
@jgrella8280 well i did a little looking and big tool rack wants 1300.00 for the one like Mike has just in a yellow/black paint scheme. While it would be handy I can't see 1300. I'd rather put that towards a grapple.
That’s badass. Like fact you can put it in shop if you don’t store tractor in a garage. 👍🏼
Can't wait to see it loaded up... Where are the cup holders? LOL
I keep mine on 90% of the time. My stuff is always with me that way. I like it like I like my grapple!
Nice tailgate!
Great purchase!
Love the video made in the snowfall. Hoping to get some down this way Sunday night. I like the heck outta that set up! Hope the price is right and I'll have one. For extra wood carrying space or whatever, put you a hitch 'game carrier' platform on it. Melissa had some goodide's for it 😉
What the Big Tool Rack hasn't got and urgently needs is a fold down seat. One of the things you always need on a new property is Partner Approval and your Partner can only give that if you can Safely carry your Partner out to the site.
Mike, Big tool rack is a vendor on a Deere forum I belong to. Appears very well made and as you have demonstrated they have numerous add-ons to customize it to your needs. Don’t they also have a mesh wall that mounts to the front to secure smaller items to? It is also a great way to organize a lot of your equipment and outdoor tools in one spot even if you never pick it up with the 3 point. All that said, I was really interested in one, until I saw the price. I am curious if the partnership with Rural King will net a reduction in cost? From what I remember they started at around $1600-$1700. Jeff
Something that you and or Big Tool Rack need to work on are the wheels. If you take it to a place on your property I would want the option to move it around without the tractor. Long story short the option of much larger pneumatic tires. Similar to what one would find on a pressure washer, but maybe a bit larger to carry the weight.
Thanks Enjoyed the video and the humer too .
I was in for one until it became a "man purse" - LOL -- Mike, she makes the videos even better. Great job as always. Truly enjoy the videos and how they are done. I do like it though...looks like the fully loaded optioned one goes for $1299
Good video. Quick question, I hope you can get to it. Have or did you consider a pats quick hitch? If you have, why did you not end up with it? The reason why I ask, I purchased one. I hated it. It was never adjusted right, one side would dog in and snap closed while the other did not... and the biggest issue when raking or with the grader blade on it would pop out on one side from time to time, the lock would pop open allowing it to come out. I sold it for 100 bucks. Not impressed. So, that being said, I am curious how much, or if this set up is better... As you can imagine I am not gun shy on the whole quick hitch idea....
That’s not a tool rack- it’s a snack rack!!! I like it!!!!
