Handy Add-On Toolboxes For Tractors, Tillage Implements
"The're handy for making repairs in the field and also help keep the tractor cab free of clutter," says Ryan Gieseke, Marengo, Ill., who builds add-on toolboxes that he mounts on his tractors and various tillage implements. Gieseke uses 10 and 12 gauge steel to make the toolboxes, which he clamps onto the tractor or implement in an out-of-the-way place. So far he has made toolboxes for two Landoll Soil Finishers, two disks, a chisel plow, three 4-WD tractors, and two front wheel assist tractors.
"The original toolboxes on the tractors are so small you can't put much in them," says Gieseke. "I use my toolboxes to store log chains, hammers, crow bars, etc. We use our Deere 8630 tractor to apply anhydrous ammonia so I mounted a toolbox on front of it where I keep extra anhydrous knives. I also have one on my Case-IH 9130 4-WD tractor. I use the toolbox on the chisel plow to carry extra points, bolts, grease guns, crow-bars, etc. I carry sledge hammers in the toolbox on the disks in case rocks get between the disk gangs."
He cuts the heavy steel plate with a plasma cutter and uses a Mig welder to put them together.
