I made thee same thing for about $20 worth of material and about an hours worth of work. for 6 years it has been holding up with no accidental falling out. I should have patented it.
A few years ago i cut a plastic pipe that slides straight into the loader cross brace tube to length and picked up an end piece to fit on the end. It cost me around $5 for the end piece and $10 for the pipe. I put a chain in it. The magnets is a good idea as it sometimes starts sliding out f driving across a slope. I’ll find some magnets and glue the to the end piece.
I realize that a person is paying for the "IDEA" of this accessory, and not what the material cost is. Still, it is more than I could afford. I bought some plumbing pipe plugs for my MX-5400. They were just a tad to small in circumference, therefore I could not tighten them enough to stay in place. To correct that issue I used some four inch pvc, cut three inches in length, and then I cut it in the middle creating a "slot". This worked PERFECTLY! The "slot" allowed this sleeve to fit inside the loader arm's inside weld seam, and the plug fit inside the sleeve just right. When the plug was tightened inside the sleeve, the sleeve expanded along with the plug, locking things into place. Two plugs and two sleeves gave me the FULL LENGTH of the loader tube, AND IS WATERPROOF! I also made a hook so that I could reach things that may have slid inside the tube and to far to reach. I keep chains, gloves, hand tools, etc. inside this tube which keeps my toolbox available for the more needed tools.
Do they stay put and not turn over and spill things out? Seems like a great idea with the newer sizes but my biggest concern would be them potentially sliding out or being pulled out by a stray branch or something and smaller items spilling out.
Your biggest concern is valid - I had some sort of field debris (branch, woody stem, idk) pull my left one out while I was brush hogging. Total loss... fortunately I was shipped an extra, but I would home build a PVC pipe solution before I bought these. They make a nice gift if you receive them though... everything stays put unless y'know, what happened to me. "Fortunately" for me it was only rope inside (which my brush hog blade found... good thing it wasn't strong rope).
A toolbox mounted on the ROPS, or elsewhere is about your only option given the design of the loader there aren't any places to really put anything on it. I haven't really given much thought to storing a bunch of stuff on the tractor usually if I'm working on something I make several trips back and forth to the shop, and then end up with a bucket full of stuff to put back when I'm done....so usually the loader bucket becomes the tool box/carry all for my BX2680. I only have an acre, so it isn't that much of a walk back tot he shop for tools, or whatever I forgot LOL.
I can’t spend the money y’all talking about hence it needs to be used on upgrade for my phone time so I can see the you tube I’m at end of the month thanks

I love these things I have 4 of them on my MX5400 Thanks to Messick's
When you have more money than sense.
@@inthedarkwoods2022 must of been a "FREE-PRO-MO".
I have a set and love them never enough storage on a tractor!
PVC, superglue, magnet.
Cool product!
Cool idea

Yeah, you should give an explicit warning about the price…. Almost had the, ‘Big One.’ ☠️ 🙏🙏🙏
It's a neat product. I think I might give 3d printing something similar a try. I'm sure it will last just long enough to make me want to buy this :)
Cool idea yes, but not for $172 for the pair for something that is about $3 in parts and materials
They are really proud of them for sure.
even at $100 for the pair they would be overpriced....
Where do you find parts and materials for 3$? I just plumbed a bathroom myself and it cost me 3,000$. What pipe are you using to build these?
Wish they came in LA 525

Cant get ripped off in the woods? Challenge accepted lol
Can there be a 3.5” version for kioti users?
How bout some ideas for the Bx?
Look at your loader. Think before you post.
@@Mrbink01 I have seen it once or twice but would be nice to have options for carrying/storing tools and chains.

Hey do u know if I can get them up here in Ontario? If not do u ship up here??
These we can ship, but you need to call
Can we get these for the BX?
there is no tube stock on the BX

Maybe he didn't buy the tractor yet lol
Another product riding the general inflation wave. PVC + bandsaw + magnet + 30 mins = $15.
Some people settle for a hack job fit, some people want a custom OEM fit. 😊

Love the idea, but just too much money.
172 dollars that is just ridiculous.
Same for new car prices, yet people keep buying....
I think someone stole this idea from Paul Short,Specialty Repairs
Yes they did; he had this first but his stuff is equally high priced.
$171. I'll buy a set when Neil tucks his shirt back in.
Great idea but a nonsense price. I will make my own with at least an 80% savings!
I feel like that could easily be 3D printed
Good luck with that
Good product,but not at that price,give me a break.
