RACKS360 - Tool Carrying System

[@proveallthingsaudits]

Big fan of this system...I use it on my BX25D to hold my pickaroon usually..... customer service of this company is great.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Neal. Looks pretty cool but would love to see you driving the mower through a lawn to see how much it shakes (or not). No support at the opposite end but won't know if one is needed until I see it in use cutting grass. Also, where do I carry my can of 50:1 mix so I can fill my string trimmers as I run out? Love to see local innovation - just want to see it perform while being used. Thanks again! Love the channel!

That rack is cool love it wen a local small company makes modifications and accessories that fit like factory accessories to improve your equipment and make jobs more easy 👍

[@patriotstanding6292]

I’d jump on it if they could adapt a nice size toolbox to that mounting system for ROPS on my L39

[@dlallwine]

Great looking product. What is the largest rectangular roll bar it will mount on? If you mount it on the wide side? And mounted on the narrow side? Thanks

[@MessicksEquip]

The mount at its widest point is 3 1/8 inches.

[@joshuaburkhead8665]

Apparently you need to purchase longer hex bolts when mounting on rectangular rack greater than 2.5 inches? They have added spacers but the bolts don’t accommodate them...... 2019 L2501

[@cmadk3423]

That looks like a great rifle I mean tool rack. For what you're getting I would say the price is reasonable.

[@KubotaMonsterBX23S]

Nice looking accessory. Great video. Thanks.

[@JeremyTVOK]

Very nice product, especially for a local outfit. I’m curious to see how they hold up long-term.

[@gkk2001]

Thanks for showing this. It does appear to be well designed and made. I will give this much consideration. There is probably not a better nor more cost effective way to carry a strong trimmer on the rops.

[@brucecampbell5573]

After seeing your video of the racks360 I was sure if it would fit my BX2380 with the Curtis cab. Then I saw John Ritters video and decided to purchase it. Went to install it today but discovered my ROPS are quite a bit narrower than the ones on John’s tractor. The rack keeps hitting my cab no matter where I install it on the ROPS. Just wanted to make you aware.

[@paulsalb1686]

It would be great if you could mount a tool box

[@TERRORoftheLORD]

Definitely!

[@DJC995]

Very handy

[@gus473]

Wish you could've strapped in at least one long-handled tool, like a rake or shovel! Maybe a future accessory can accommodate a fire extinguisher....? 🤔

[@stanleybaker1520]

That's really cool 😎😎😎

[@dougmapper3306]

I've been looking for a solution to keep a chainsaw on board a L2501 for a while!

[@TERRORoftheLORD]

Cool, looks nifty!

[@ohiofarmer254]

will a rifle fit in the holders

[@MessicksEquip]

Should fit on the lower arms. It would depend on the rifle...

[@Shane_O.5158]

what about a bucket mount, or tool box - so you can carry a knife, loppers, pruners, hedge shears, a radio, phone, wallet, keys, bug spray, first aid, protective glasses.

[@MessicksEquip]

Maybe in the future

[@Shane_O.5158]

@@MessicksEquip i noticet thairs a few old ones on the loader subject.

[@gus473]

Yes, pretty good idea! Seems to be getting popular on ZTR mowers lately

[@Green1976FJ40]

Can you mount a chain saw

[@MessicksEquip]

Not currently. There may be tool specific bottom arms coming soon.

[@Tonyromeo1970]

Cool accessory!

[@travelinthru9519]

Rite . Rite rite . Ur favorite word

[@bobpurs]

Nice 👍

[@Gen_X_Jimmy]

Nice

[@alabamatoy]

Does it have a means to carry a chainsaw?

[@MessicksEquip]

Not yet, but that may come.

[@petermccormick8544]

I ordered this partially due to the “partnered with/made by some local guys” comment, hoping to support local business. Disappointed with the yellow “Made in China” sticker on the box before I even opened it.

[@dennismiller9681]

So I guess "made by some local guys" means designed in the USA... but still built in China since the US hardly manufactures anything any more.

[@tominsc9909]

I was interested until you said the price. I'll stick with the brackets I welded and bungee straps.

[@plumber77mjr]

Tom in SC don’t be cheap.

[@dennismiller9681]

Agreed. $150 to hold a couple tools !!! I have the BX25 with a backhoe and find that the stabilizer pads when raised can pretty well fit the handles of rakes and shovels. But I would like to have a few handtools (wrench, screwdriver...) so I'm thinking a soft tool bag tied above the ROPS folding point or the related knob. Maybe I'll even come up with a hard version that attaches using longer pins to replace the ROPS pins. People that have $150 or more to spend on this have way more money than I do.

[@boltactionshooter]

Will it fit the L model tractors rops?

[@MessicksEquip]

Yes. Today we tested BX, B, L and MX series. As well as all zero turns.

[@boltactionshooter]

@@MessicksEquip Awesome. I will be ordering mine soon.

[@boltactionshooter]

@@MessicksEquip Finally got to install my rack on my L model today. The brackets fit different size bars but they only come with one set of bolts??? I had to stop and go to town just to find some longer bolts that would have been included.

[@k_ike_fishing]

Can I get a chainsaw in the mount?

[@MessicksEquip]

Not currently

[@k_ike_fishing]

@@MessicksEquip Hopefuly soon there will be a good one for the ROPS!

[@horseblinderson4747]

Ahh boo I wanted four poster awnings without having to buy a tlb or a cab at ten grand.

[@jaxturner7288]

I think it was your comment that got me hoping for that yesterday, I thought you somehow knew, now I’m very disappointed over nothing.... thanks.

[@cherronwooten8611]

I just installed this product. I don't see it to be that great. First there is no way possible that this is going to hold the the roll bar without sliding down the roll bar. It doesn't matter how tight the screws are. The roll bar is iron and the tool is plastic. I have used another tool called the big tool rack. I think I prefer the tool rack over the rack360.

[@cabinetmaker5799]

I've been using it for almost 3 years, and have never had it slide down. I don't leave the weed trimmer in it all the time but I have used it for that at various times. What I leave on my tractor year-round (unless I need to put the trimmer on) is a shovel and a large set of loppers. I have a piece of wire attached to one lopper handle that loops around the other to keep it from flopping. I have tightened it once or twice because I loosened it to move up higher. But it was still tight before I loosened it.

[@adamprawda5772]

i dont tkink i want long trimmer hanging over my head while mowing grass under trees

[@mikep.541]

Are you kidding me. If I had anything hanging off of my roll bar, it would be ripped off in the first hour of operation.

[@xzemis]

Ah well less than impressed with the durability. Had on for less than 6 monts and 3 arms broke off. One top one from trees, looks irreplacable. The lower 2 broke while removing a weed trimmer that fit a bit snug in the bottom. Any bit of twist and the snap right off.

[@MessicksEquip]

They are really good about replacing these when they break. Shoot an email in.
