Built-In Toolboxes For Big Tractors, Combines
“There aren’t many toolboxes properly sized for combines and tractors,” says Erik Karlson, AgStorm. “These were an outgrowth of our CEO Ben Wenner’s farming experience.”
The tractor model ($1,699) is 36 in. wide at the top and 20 in. at the bottom. It’s 10 in. deep and 34 in. tall and weighs in at 190 lbs. without tools.
The combine model ($1,899) is slightly bigger with its 36-in. wide top and bottom. Depth and height are the same as the tractor model.
“Both systems have magnetic trays for nuts and bolts, but other elements differ slightly,” says Karlson. “The combine model is a little different with its drop-down worktable.”
The combine model also holds both 3/8-in. and 1/2-in. sockets, while the tractor has only 1/2-in. sockets. The entire combine unit swings out and away for access to the rotor behind it. The tractor model mounts directly to the frame for easy hood access. Both hold metric and standard sockets and wrenches, as well as a variety of other tools and maintenance supplies.
Both systems are made with 3/16-in. powder-coated steel with a bulb rubber seal like used in cab and truck doors. The seal makes them fully dust and weatherproof.
Brackets are available for 8000 Series Deere and larger, as well as Case IH Magnum series, Challenger 700s and above, and the new Fendts. Custom mounting brackets for other tractors can be ordered for an additional $549.
