Cooler Mount

[lakehouse_dreaming]

Has anyone made or found a way to mount a small cooler to your tractor? I would like to have a small one to carry snacks, water, and maybe an adult beverage or two to be able to enjoy while bush hogging the horse pasture as it takes me a couple days to do it.

Will hold a 12 pack with ice . I’m not sure if the company still in business though, I’ll try to check and post back if interested…

edit: no longer available on eBay or Amazon (I got it on Amazon) , can’t find much on the company…

One of the many benefits of having a backhoe. little cooler sits in the bucket and follows me wherever I go.

If the job will take a couple days, quantity becomes the main concern!

I could sit one in the loader bucket but I know I would dump it out not thinking.

I would think it would be hard to bushhog with the backhoe attached though..

It is a couple days at 3-4 hours a day.

With that on board, every job would become a multiday project, and the results would be less than optimal It would however make it much easier to get friends to help out with the project.

I attached an ATV rack on my ROPS with rectangular u bolts. It will carry a lot more than a small cooler.

I've thought about seeing if a golf cart cooler bracket could be mounted to the ROPS with U bolts but have yet to get around to gambling on a purchase. Even if it didn't directly bolt on, maybe weld some flat iron onto it so it will.
Been looking around to see if I can find the dimensions and hole spacing but have yet to do so.

Kolpin 53360 ATV Front Rack Gear Basket, Black https://a.co/d/2NQApWH
Here is the model he used. Went to hardware store for the square U bolts.

If I didn't keep the BH on 90% of the time, I'd replicate that Kolpin mod too.

Ended up finding some scrap electrical strut laying around the house and an old SS toolbox tray from my old truck. A couple 90 degree fittings and bolts and came up with this. It mounts using the ROPS bolts and can be removed with just 2 bolts. Just have to cut the one piece down to the correct length.

$7000 cooler holder! Hopefully we can find one for the OP a bit cheaper
