Pto-Mounted Chain Holder
Mark Daun, Kiel, Wis., came up with this pto guard-mounted log chain holder for his Deere 2030 tractor.
    “I use the chains for pulling logs or firewood limbs,” says Daun. “Most people wrap the chains around the 3-pt.’s lower arms but that’s ineffective, dangerous, takes too much time, and gets messy whenever you need to use more than one chain. The box attaches to the lugs where the 3-pt. top link would normally be and rests on the pto guard.”
    The 2 boxes are separated by a short length of angle iron welded in each corner, except for where the attaching links are located. “Each box holds at least two 16-ft. chains,” says Daun. “Holes in the bottom allow melted snow and dirt to fall through. The spacer between the boxes provides a window to see the drawbar for hitching to a wagon or trailer. Three bracket-mounted springs keep excess chain inside the box, yet allow the chain to feed out safely if it ever unhooks from the grab hook on the crossbar.”
