Here's an easy one.
I often need a shovel on the tractor to make irrigation levees around the new trees, but there wasn't any way to carry it. I tried carrying the shovel in a loop made of 12/3 house wiring but that didn't work very well. (Don't ask what happens when you carry tools in the loader bucket or stuck through the loader structure.
)
Finally I was dropping some stuff off at Goodwill and saw a stack of golfbags for 50 cents to $1. Bingo - that's the answer!
The rear carrier has the shovels, a bowsaw I use all the time in the orchard, a mattox, and a t-handle probe for locating stump roots when I go to dig them up. Also usually my orchard loppers. (pruner).
I added the front bag one day when I needed to carry a cordless hedge trimmer (a big help for getting up close to a wild blackberry jungle for picking berries), and I now keep my chains in it. Aside from the chains, all these tools were a nightmare to carry when I needed them. Problem solved!
