Hood-Mounted "Tractor Caddy"
“It’s designed to mount on the hood of most lawn or garden tractors. It keeps your valuables and tools right in front of you wherever you go, and is easy to remove for off-tractor projects,” says Anita Epolito, Six Lakes, Mich.
  The tractor caddy is made in Michigan from reground/recycled plastic and measures 23 in. long by 11 in. wide. It has a built-in cup holder and a personal storage compartment on back, with a large cargo compartment on front. A handy plastic utility basket with carrying handle that fits into the cargo compartment is available.
  The bottom side of the caddy is fitted with 4 footpads that adhere to hook and loop mounting strips that you place on the tractor’s hood. A template is provided to mark where the mounting strips should go. You apply the strips adhesive side down onto the hood, position the caddy over the hood, and then press the footpads down firmly onto the mounting strips. A bungee cord holds cargo in place.
  “It works great for hauling just about anything, and it won’t damage your tractor’s hood,” says Epolito. “You don’t have to worry about losing your wallet, keys, cell phone, etc., because they’re always right in front of you. The cargo compartment works great for hauling everything from shop and garden tools to firewood, flowerpots, baskets, gas cans, batteries, coolers, and barbeque supplies, as well as trash.”
  The tractor caddy is available in black only. It sells for $32.95 plus S&H.
