Fail-Proof Front-Mount Rock Box
![]() |
It works so well he's sold 12 units to neighboring farmers. "It's easy to mount and safe and easy to use. It locks automatically in place without the need to insert a pin or set catches. All you do is pull back on a lever until it snaps into place. The mechanism has a high linkage ratio so you can have good control of the lever when you dump the rocks," says Thompson.
A mounting bracket attaches the rock box to virtually any tractor using existing bolt holes. A bracket mounts permanently to the tractor frame. To mount the box, all you do is set the box onto the mounting hooks and install a pair of locking bolts.
"Works great with a front-end loader because the box is easy to remove.
"All the farmers who have them have been happy with no complaints. I have a commercial fabricator cut and form the box and I then weld it together.Sells for $275. I'd like to find a company or a distributor to take over production of it."
