- Big Tool Rack Comes to Canada! Kubota B2601 compact tractor.
I have seen the Big Tool Rack for some time now and I am very excited to have the Ultimate Tool Rack here on GP Outdoors, to hook up to the back of my Kubota B2601 compact tractor and to use around the property. Today, I take it along for its maiden run, to cut down and block a leaner across the driveway. I hope you will join me for a few minutes, here in the outdoors, at the cottage. Cheers!

G P you have did one of the best demos on the BTR
Thank you may look into one
God Bless
PaK
Good evening and thanks very kindly Peter! It is a pretty impressive attachment. I can't wait to use it more and see how well it helps us out in the forest and around the property. Have a wonderful week!
Agreed! That was very well done!
I know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new series online ?
@Titus Chase i dunno atm i have been using Flixportal. You can find it on google :) -brendan
@Brendan Reuben Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!
Hey GP, so nice of you to give Guy and Bob a place to work on their huskies, while you are out cutting the wood they will never get to! Seriously, this looks like a great addition to your arsenal of 3 point equipment. Thanks for the review! Cheers!
Good day Michael! LOL. Yup, had to sneak that in there. :)) Can't wait to use it some more. Hope all is well! Cheers!
Nice demo job on the Big Tool Rack ! If you have or haven't seen OUTDOORS WITH THE MORGANS they have one and love it as well. Have an awesome day .
Thanks Herb! You too - all the best!
Thanks for the video, we small tractors owners do have to pick and choose our implements. The cost and storage can be a issue. I have a removable home built box for a factory carry all. The carryall works for many different uses. I build portable blinds that can be moved anywhere a tractor can access.
Good day Cleon. Absolutely. And when I do decide on a certain type of equipment, I research it a lot before choosing the final decision on brand, build, price etc to make sure I spend wisely. Thanks - great points for folks to consider. Cheers!
Great demo on the BTR, Gord! Boy, I get cold just watching you. Brrr.
LOL. Cheers Larry!
Hi! Great new equipment, but ... in Kubota orange it would suit your tractor much better ;-)
I liked the presentation on the BTR but I gotta admit that you got a chuckle for the Husky gig !! Don’t get me wrong now GP... I LOVE Huskies.... but only if they are furry and have four legs. Couldn’t resist sir. LOL. That is a very functional tool tote.. one of the best production ones I’ve seen.
LOL. I had to get that one in on Guy and neighbour Bob. LOL. They are always poking fun at me and my STIHL. Yes, it is quite a well thought out unit - no doubt. 300 lbs of steel in it. Can't wait to get it in regular use come spring time. All the best T!
Hi Gord. Nice review on the rack. You and Guy should adapt the carryall to be able to fit on the quick attach as well. Then with the rack you could use your rack for the tools and towing the splitter in the back and the carryall on the loader in the front. The ultimate machine!
Good morning Alain. That's a great idea. We were talking and thinking it will be really handy to haul all the equipment out and perhaps we can throw my wood carry-all on Guy's tractor. But that would be pretty neat to have it all on one tractor. Nice! Thanks and have a great week out there!
Great demo video. The BTR is certainly one nice piece of equipment. BTR company also has great attachment clamps. I purchased two a couple years ago and they're awesome for holding my pole saw alongside my GC1710. Saw your chainsaw sliding a bit...(throw an old rubber-bottomed rug in there). Loved when you said..."it even has a hook for my jacket"...😊 Enjoyed a full-video watch. Have a fine week, GP. 👍
Good morning Houndsman! Great to hear from you. That's good to hear - they have sent me a few accessories for it. Nice to know they last and weather well. Funny but it is pretty handy - I always have to drop my coat on the ground or drape it over the tractor. LOL. Hope all is going great in your world. All the best to you and your family!
Morning Gord,
I want to get that BTR Yard Rack that I saw Mike Morgan demo. Just what I need. Looks real sturdy and I don't need all the bells and whistles of the one you have. For the price, I think it'll do the job. Anyway, thanks for the great review of the BTR, I'm sure that people interested in the unit will appreciate the review. Glad to see BTR products available in Canada.
Have a great week my friend.
Cheers!
Good evening Tim! That's great. They just sent me one, but I haven't tried to use it yet but hope it works out well for you. Have a great week and talk again soon. Let me know how you like it after you get it - I would be interested in knowing. Cheers!
Loved the Husky jab!! :-)
LOL! I had to get that in there for Bob and Guy. :)) Cheers!
Very cool!!
May want to consider putting a rubber mat of some sort in the bottom and tailgate. Will keep things from sliding around.
Good morning SFC! Great idea - thanks! Have a good week!
Very nice 👍
Suggestion... use a squeeze syrup bottle for your bar oil.
Hey thanks Trey! That's a great idea. Have a good one and thanks again!
As much as I want one of these Gordon, this would probably look funny hooked to the back of my 4-door sedan.
Dang it.
ATB,
Michael
LOL!!!! Too funny BG! I am sure you might get pulled over. If for no other reason than the police would be trying to figure out what it was. Have a great week and thanks for the humour! Cheers!
I always try to stay positive on my comments, this will be no exception. The craftsmanship and skill that went into your carryall was exceptional. I was always impressed by the removable sides and chainsaw storage of your design.
Good morning TGC! Thanks so much - I love the carryall that Guy and I built together too. It's pretty awesome , at least to me. This tool rack is much different, I am finding - I am looking forward to working with it some more. Thanks again! Be safe out there!
BAM! POW! Guy and Bob just took it in the gut about their Huskies! OUCH!!!! Lol Dont know if they'll ever help you out if you get your STIHL pinched !!! LOL
LOL John! hey , who's side are you on. How did you know I keep pinching my STIHL? LOL. So true. Happens way too often. And they always have to bail me out. I have to get my digs in when I can, cause I have both them poking fun at my STIHL. Cheers and have a great week! Thanks for the laugh this morning.
@@GPOutdoors It's all in fun ! If you think about it, ask Guy & Bob why they got TWO saws?! Thing is, they will NEVER tell you, ..." because they got their saw 'pinched' " !!! LOL
And, I am on your side! I own a STIHL .....2 of them !!!
LOL!!
Great review and video. Seen them and they sure look handy, might have to invest in one someday. Thanks for another great video
You bet Bob! Thanks for tuning in - Cheers!
This is one item I would never have on my Tractor.
Have them work with you to fit a BTR-Yardrack onto your winch. The best of worlds being able to carry everything while skidding the logs. (Mike and Melinda Morgan could use that rig ) Thanks always, Take care up in the great white north
Good afternoon David! I will check that out - that's a great idea. Thanks! Cheers!
Another great video.thanks
Thanks Larry! All the best!
I guess the next update would be a wood mizer to cut the lumber for a trator garage
:))) Good day Don. Man, I can't wait til the time comes that I get one. Cheers and all the best!
💥 Nice rack Gord! That will be a nice addition to your collection of tools and come in very handy! Tractors should have tailgates too! 👍
Keep on tractoring!
Cheers Jon!
Tool rack is 👍🏻. On the bar chain oil leave the seal and use something like 16d nail to stick a hole in it. Makes it easier to pour. It will work like squeeze bottle
Good morning H! Thanks - that is a great idea - I often spill more on the saw then I get in the hole. LOL. I will try that out - Thanks again! Nice!
I see in the crystal ball ,........ an electric chainsaw and power tools , with a charging system that is powered off the tractor engine.
Just like outlets on your truck........... :-)
LOL. Hey no giving away future videos Bubba! I was thinking more of hauling my ridiculously heavy portable generator on it but close enough. LOL. I sure wish I had this Big Tool Rack when I built the fence and farm gate this past summer. Cheers and all the best!
I absolutely love my tool rack from Ask Tractor Mike.
It Can hold my 2 chainsaw, chains, pole.saw,oil and gas. Very inexpensive, easy to put on and take off and saves a ton of room.
Plus put it on my ATV or UTV.
That tool rack in my opinion is nice and all but for me, rather buy another chain saw
Good day Jay. Thanks for sharing. That's great that it can be used on your ATV too. Good stuff. Thanks - have a great week!
@@GPOutdoors dont worry GP I love you and your videos keep them coming
Cheers Jay! Thanks so much!
Happy for you Gord. Ok the wheels are cool. But I bet your going to find the homemade version better. Yours was easier to modify, had a greater payload. That thing will need plywood sides before you haul a half run of wood. Tools that bolt together out of thin sheet metal never seem to last. Reminds me of something you'd find on clearance at Woolmart.
Good day Mike. Thanks so much ! I love that carry all that Guy built with me. Not to mention it means alot to me for that reason. This one has some other attributes I am looking forward to checking out for sure. We'll see how it handles our work up here as spring and summer come and we are out in the forest. Thanks again! Keep smiling!
@@GPOutdoors Free stuff is always worth looking over. But eventually it has to justify the room it takes in the shop or in the shed. My money is on Guys version. Cheers...
Thats a real nice implement GP. The 300# weight is a good feature too, for counter balance for the front end loader. I also liked the 2" receiver. Really a nice tool rack.
Thanks Dean. It is built pretty strong. I'm looking forward to using it more (and maybe scratching it up a bit in the forest::)). Take care!
Hi GP! The Big Tool Rack looks like a very nice device! I’ve seen it in other videos as well and they have really thought of just about everything. The nice device comes at a high price, but worth it for those that can afford it. BTW, is that snow on the ground I see there? LOL. Thanks for a great video! Cheers!
Hey god morning and thanks Martin. It is built like a tank for sure. Can't wait to get it out in the forest. LOL. Yup, got some snow! Hope all is well and enjoy your weekend!
Gord thrilled to see you and Tim connected and you are finally able to get your hands on one of these. I told you how awesome they are, now you get to experience it for yourself. The best part for me though is I live close enough I can drive over to the company lol.
Good morning _ thanks Sonnicman! That's pretty cool. I haven't met him in person yet but spoken several times. No doubt he is really passionate about it and has put a lot of effort into making it a solid piece of helpful equipment for people. I can't wait to get it out into the forest and use it more. Take care Sonnic! Cheers!
Looks really handy GP. Nice to be able to bring pretty much all your tools with you at one time. Good luck with it!
Thanks PP! I am looking forward to exploring it further. Cheers!
Great system on the big tool rack......
Pretty awesome so far, Erick! I hope all is going great. Cheers!
Lol moving up to the big league!! Looks great!! Enjoy
Hello There GP!!! That Big Tool Rack is pretty neat. I like all the tool holders and trays. If you can't stow it on the BTR you don't need it I guess!!! Take care!!!
LOL! Thanks Grampie! Have a great week out there!
That’s cool! Especially for someone with a yard as big as yours!
Thanks Andrew! Cheers!
Easy on the Huskies... lol I have three. You have to talk nice to them. One is 28 years old, still runs strong👍. New tool rack is nice. Thinking about one for a while. It would be great for spring clean up too.
LOL. Good morning Laurie! Hey, I have to get my digs in where I can - Guy and Bob are always ganging up on me poking fun at my STIHL. LOL. Thanks for tuning in. Just got it so still learning on it but it is built strong, I can tell you that. Guy keeps asking me to leave it at his workshop so he can push it around with his tools on it when he is working on something. Have a great week out there!
Sort of surprised anyone would ship stuff to that frigid place lol
LOL Lone Star! Hey, but look at those scenic views behind me in the forest. :)) Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!
these work good i have two of them for the tractors we have and just love so enjoy cheers
That's great to hear, John. It's only been a week, but wow - this thing is built tough. And so far, very practical. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. Cheers!
Great video as always..
Good day Gp good review I don’t think they Were built so heavy. P.s. the husqvarna guys stop so stihl guys don’t feel bad they were thinking of your feeling lol 😂 have a good week
LOL - good day Denis. You are probably right - they both saw much quicker than I do. Cheers and all the best!
That is a nice unit, but I think a carry-all is more financially efficient!
Good evening CP. I have to say, that I think it IS a carry-all. I love the one I built (my heart is in it, of course), and I built it for one main purpose - firewood. However, it is early on, of course, but I can certainly see a number of benefits of having this dropped back in the forest, holding all our tools and supplies, as we get down to the business of processing firewood. Let's give it some time and see how well it performs overall. I can't tell you how many times Guy and I have traversed deep into the forest and then realized we forgot something. I agree with you, that it is early to tell, but let's see how it works out over the coming months. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Always appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Have a great week CP!
Good evening GP, pretty handy unit !!! Cheers !!
Morning Dave! I am looking forward to learning more about it. Cheers!
GP this is a great attachment for compact tractors and I can think of no one better to demo it! It gives the functionality of a utv with a tractor. I myself built my carryall for one purpose...to haul wood. Any other weight or attachment back there hinders the ability or space for wood. And being my tractor is 70hp and cat 2 rated I needed something built heavy. As for carrying tools, I have a weight box on the front for storage and ballast. Although i would like a loader but only if my tractor was 4wd. all in all, this is one of the most functional 3 point attachments ever built for compact tractors and as I’ve always said, With a tractor you have two ends to utilize with a skid steer you have only one.
Good evening Garny. I could not have said it better. Thanks so much for your insights. I am sure it will be helpful for others on the channel. Be safe out there and all the best!
Ultimate carryall! Nice 👍
So far it is a beauty, Mitchell! Cheers!
You should have got the Kubota version
A vice installed in that 2” receiver would give guy some serious wood. Cheers
Good morning Mike. That's really good idea. Will maybe take a look around. Thanks again - Cheers!
Pardon?
Good evening GP, that’s a great deal getting one of those Big Tool Rack’s. They’re handy to keep your firewood cutting stuff all in one place and will save time for you later. Don’t forget and leave the Mingo Paint on the rack outside in the winter time 🥶. You did a excellent review of the Big Tool Rack, you covered it from all directions. Thanks for sharing with us.
Good evening my friend. We have been talking over youtube for a long time. Whenever you feel comfortable, I would like to know your name- first name. You have been supporting me, and the channel, for so long, that it would be nice to call you by name, if you are comfortable with that. No worries if you are not, but I sincerely appreciate your ongoing kind, and open, honest, advice and comments over such a long period of time. Your advice has helped me immensely over a long time. It's all good if you want to remain 'ODD'. But a big thanks to you for all you have taught me. Keep smiling and all the best my friend!
Hey GP, don’t mind being ODD, but my first name is Fred and that’s okay too. Pass on your first name also ifin you don’t mind.
I need one of those. Other than it being the wrong color, it would be perfect for my generator. Your channel keeps costing me money. Thanks for being our favorite attachment guinea pig. Cheers!
LOL! Too funny. Cheers and all the best!
I would reach out to the company and explain your situation, I bet they'd be willing to make one in a color that would work for your needs.
@@sonnicman It was a joke since it's not Kubota orange. Haha
Hi GP you gonna love that Big tool rack that be a good investment for your tractor because I saw it on (Tractor Time with Tim ) they love it.
That's great to hear Richard! Thanks - only been a few days but boy, it is pretty impressive. Thanks and have a good week!
Hi Gord the big tool box looks good but I also like the box you made because it hauls more wood . You can see your flashers from behind that a plus. Also be careful what you say about those Husky saws
LOL Brian! Good point but hey, it is a long running joke between me, and Guy and Bob. So, I kind of had to throw it in there. Love my STIHL but for sure, Huskies are a great, well built saw as well. Cheers and all the best!
Hey GP it looks like that tool rack is gonna come in handy for sure.....nice going.....take care my friend....... :)
Good day Don! Yes, I am looking forward to getting it out in the forest when the weather clears. I can see a few good uses for it already. Thanks good sir. Have a great week out there!
That's looks like it is going to be very handy to have.
Someday.. hahahah
Have a great week.
Cheers and God bless.
Good evening Gus! Yes, I am pretty excited to have it to use and try out on the channel. Built like a tank. Have a great night and all the best!
That Tim is a smart guy having you demonstrate (advertise) his product I know this is something you will use alot. Be careful G P or you might need more storage!
LOL David! Yup, that shed is getting small. I got to be honest- it's only been a week but man, this thing is built tough. I certainly need to put it to the test over the coming months but it is strong out of the gate, no doubt. Cheers and have a great week out there!
If I remember correctly I first found out about it years ago when it was being demonstrated at a local fair.
The swiss army knife for the rear of a tractor,nice.
LOL. Cheers!
Time for a tractor garage!! GP
You bet, Dave! Long overdue. The shed is getting crowded. :))
I wonder when the sawmill will be coming, this way he can mill all the lumber for the new shed, and which style will it be.. Alaskan, wood miser, or a large circular saw mill, anyway you look at it these all have there place!
I really like watching your videos and learn a lot from them. However the BIG TOOL RACK while being functional is WAY to expensive for me. Personally I like the tool carrier that Martin made on the DIY My-Way channel and for a LOT less money... Thanks for all the lessons..
Good job on the demo GP. That thing sure has a lot of storage I would probably lose things in the BTR. Anybody seen my coat, did you check the BTR? lol Take care brother.
LOL! Cheers and thanks OGA!
Hey GP, good review of the tool rack. I have to agree with Henry Rogers about the other channels getting the BTR and then it is rarely used or shown. However, not everyone has a skidding winch to use and so the tool rack may get more use...I would fall into that category. You and your neighbors team up on the forest work so you could take both tools to the forest. Based on the cost I would probably build a rack like you and Guy built. I have to admit they are a well built piece of equipment and appear to be very handy. I'll be watching for your continued use of it as spring rolls around. Cheers
Good morning Roy! Thanks - some great thoughts and perspectives there. Yes, Guy and I have been thinking about how well it will fit in this summer. I am thinking at this point, It will largely be super helpful for hauling all our stuff out there, dropping the legs and using it as a tool station while we are working together. Love that it can give us a work bench while we are out there. Guy asked me to keep it at his place so he can put his tools on it and wheel it around in the workshop or in his garage when he is working on a project or fixing something. LOL. Have a good week and thanks very much for your comments this morning! Cheers!
Great intro to the Video!
Mike
Thanks very much Mike!
Awesome intro there. That tool rack is the cat's pajamas. I did notice you're planning on it getting scratched on the first use (witnessed by the can of Rustoleum).
One would guess that rig is significantly more expensive than your home-made rack (which I greatly admire). The wheels make it easy to roll around, and you can use it as a permanent storage place for your most used tools (assuming you have space in the shed for it).
LOL. Yup, I am pretty sure it will get beat up over the coming months but we will see how it weathers our Canadian outdoors. LOL. Cheers and thanks for tuning in!
A fuel tank bracket would free up some space in that small box, but nonetheless great 1st demo, and look into a set of light for the back!
Morning Patrick. Some good ideas - thanks! I would like to keep the box area clear for wood or other items. All the best!
good stuff GP i prefer the box you made yourself.
Thanks Rootman! Cheers!
I thought you had one of those combo gas/bar oil gas cans for your chain saw. Now that you have the Big Tools rack, it almost makes that 3 point hitch plywood box you have redundant.
It certainly does B! But I think I will hand it over to Guy for now, as I work and try out this Ultimate Tool Rack for the next while. It is built like a tank! Cheers and all the best!
With the build-up of the Big Tool Rack I was expecting some sort of big-game hunting adventure. But I couldn't help but chuckle when you approached the first fallen tree and went to the rack only to take off a 12" hatchet. I was a little let down, LOL. That rack is a sweet bit of kit for the Kubota. I'm sure you'll use it often for bigger and better projects.
I did have a question. With the heavy duty wheels and casters, could it roll on our barn slab unfettered, just like my toolbox?
LOL. Hey good evening Steve. So funny. I was thinging the same thing as I looked back at the footage but that little wee branch was scratching my truck every time I went by. LOL. So small but annoying. I just had to get it out of there. Let's give it a few months and see how it performs for us. Cheers and thanks Steve!
Nice job GP. Tailgate could use a rubber mat or a a bed-liner. Can’t wait to see a review down the road once you have more time with it. Maybe a comparison to your homemade one.
That's a great idea Jimmer! Let's give it some time until mid-to-late summer when it has had some time in the forest. Thanks - great idea! Cheers!
The Big Tool Rack is an awesome tool for any tractor. The utility of being able to carry shovels, rakes, leaf blowers, and a host of other items increases the utility of the tractor. Well worth the investment. Thanks for the information, GP!
Thanks Jean! Great points! Have a great and safe week outdoors!
Thanks for the good review of the Big Tool Rack GP. I'm looking forward to seeing how you use it, although I'm going to miss seeing you using your homemade carryall , that was a great attachment . What is the price of the rack, I don't think they are available here.
Good morning Mark! Thanks for tuning in. I have a few ideas for it come the nicer weather. Guy keeps asking em to leave it at his workshop so he can use it for holding his tools etc while doing projects around the shop and garage. I love my carryall for the wood of course- thanks! I believe it is roughly $1500 for it I think. They have the prices on their website. Thanks again - hope all is well down under! Cheers!
Nice score! While those tail gate latches appear to latch securely, I would be concerned that they could come unlatched with all the travel over rough terrain. It might be a good idea to stick a lynch pin in the lock holes to prevent them from coming unhooked.
Good morning Joe - Thanks for the great suggestion. You and Guy must be very similar- he suggested the same thing to me. LOL. Maybe you were hiding in the workshop when we were building it? :)) Have a great week and thanks again!
Well I'm glad to see that an American company saw the importance of your channel . I have seen that tool rack displayed on a few channels . They all say how great it is and I agree with them but the thing is nobody uses it . Mike was the first one to get one . He hardly ever uses it . He's got that skidding winch on the back of his tractor when he's getting logs . No room for a Big Tool Rack . Two other guys got one and they never use it ( TTWT and Stoney Ridge Farmer to name a few ) . To be perfectly honest here Gord but $1500 US is way to much for that thing . Never mind paying taxes and duties coming into Canada . I googled the Big Tool Rack and their web site they want you to e-mail them for a shipping price to Canada . So much for free shipping . Can't imagine the shipping cost to Canada . Ouch . Yea only in the US . LOL. I see that they have your video on the Big Tool Rack . That didn't take long . 44 mins ago . LOL you could make that thingy that you and Guy built a bit bigger and it would hold every thing the rack will hold . That certainly wouldn't cost $1500 US . Sorry to be such a downer but $1500 US ( which is around $2000 Canadian plus taxes ) plus all of the other costs involved . NOT for me . My pockets aren't deep enough .
Had to make a correction here . TSC in Canada sell it for $2000 CDN so there are no shipping charges but taxes still must be paid .
Good evening Henry. Thanks for the feedback. You are never being a downer. Don't ever think that. I count on you, to always provide your honest thoughts and opinions to me. It's important to me. You've hung in here with me for a very long time. Let's remember, that the 'big guys' are getting a lot of equipment and don't, in my view, give much attention to each piece. I'll give this some good, Canadian effort, and let's see how well it holds up, over time. Yup, it's not cheap. But I can tell you, I have only had it for about a week, and this thing is built like a tank. Very exacting build. Even Guy was impressed. And that says a lot. You know Guy. He is not easily impressed. We'll see how helpful it is through the coming seasons, and you know, I will show you everything about it as I go. You know I don't take any financial incentives - I just show you good folks what a piece of equipment can do, and what it can't do. And honest, always send me your honest comments.You have always been honest with me. Thanks good sir. Cheers!
LOL . Well at least I know that you will use it . Not saying it's not good just kind of pricey . I'm also glad that your channel has been recognized in the States . Just goes to show you how good your channel is . Well if Guy likes it than there's nothing else to say . LOL
LOL! Don't ever change Henry. You keep me honest. And you are right. Guy doesn't mess around. He is pretty discerning for sure. If he is not happy, then I am not happy. He is pretty smart when it comes to mechanical things. Be well and have a great week!
Completely agree. TTWT just has way too many attachments to use any of them. Look at the 5-series...he has only used it a handful of times. Mike said it was part of the ultimate firewood rig, but you are right...he now used the winch. I agree - this is one of those items that look cool - but is easily left behind when something more practical ends up in the shed.
So, you got one of them there fancy beer keg haulers. Nice. You might like "Good Works Tractors" channel on youtube.
Hey, when you gonna kut some mor wood?
LOL. Good morning gaze. Hey, another good use for it. :)) Soon - got a few bigger trees leaning and will probably try to get them down before they cause me a headache. Cheers and thanks - all the best!
Hi GP,
When I first saw the Big Tool Rack, I thought it was an awesome design. And I still do.I did some research an found out the cost of one. Like most people, I thought $1500.00 US was a very steep price! Then I ran across the "DIY My Way" channel on TH-cam, and he made his own similar to the one that you and Guy made, with a bunch of added options. Awesome build, guessing it was under $300. There is a lot of sense of accomplishment building your own and customizing it to your personal needs.
But, as always, your review of the BTR was excellent. I think it is a great attachment, but it's unfortunately, it's out of my budget.
Good morning Tom! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. Some good points for folks to consider as to the options available to them and also depending on what needs or function, they need on and around their properties. Thanks again - always appreciate your thoughtful comments and ideas. Talk again soon!
Familiar voices in the beginning!!! If ever you have one empty spot, then it means you need more tools! Lol! Oh! Where is the cup holder for your coffee mug??? Thanks for sharing this review with us!
LOL! Good morning Joe. I have to look - can't have a spot for everything but my coffee. LOL. Cheers and all the best!
GP Outdoors
If you could make a simple light three claw design that fit on the skid winch back that could grab the big tool rack and take it with you then just set aside on the job when using the winch that would be pretty neat . 👍 Does the skid winch have a trailer receiver?
Hi Stephen! That's an interesting idea. Unfortunately it doesn't;t but the nice thing is usually Bob or Guy are with me and he has an L series. :)) Thanks for the great thinking though - cheers Ridgeback!
The one thing I don’t like is that now the tail lights of the tractor are recessed from the rear of the equipment, other than that it will be a great piece of equipment for you!
That's a good point Patrick. I also will need to make sure to carry it lower if I go out on the road so the lights are not blocked. Thanks!
GP Outdoors always need to keep our heads up for safety my friend! You can take it from me... I have to many injuries from thinking otherwise!
You may want to look into a pair of magnetic mount lights, and add some strapping with Velcro to help keep them in place, this way you can disconnect when not needed, and an over head work light in case you need to work after dark for some reason!
The BTR is cool and all and you do a great job at reviewing it, but in reality, what would the BTR do that a properly equipped Carry-all wouldn't do? Besides rust and bend up if you backed into something.
Thanks Philip. Some helpful thoughts. We'll see as we get her into the forest and into some real work come spring. Thanks for sharing some perspectives on it. Let's see how she performs over time. Cheers and all the best!
Seems like a decent product. Personally though I much rather have my skidding winch than a tool rack. Never had a problem finding places for my fuel can, a few chainsaws and so on my tractor. And speaking of fuel cans, you should buy one of those combi cans. Husqvarna makes a good one ;)
That's a great idea, Windsor. I saw them at Princess Auto and I think I might take you up on that idea. It would save some space. Thanks!
@@GPOutdoors Hey Gord, don't know if they're available to you in Canada, as we can't get them in the states (I got my when we were in Denmark last summer), but Stihl makes an awesome combi oil/gas can too. What's great about theirs, is if you get the accessory spouts they are capless. You just put it in the saw, push down (spring loaded), and it automatically stops filling when full. Even leaves a little space so your not spilling gas or oil.
Nice video as always. I have been trying to touch one of these for awhile now. I need to know how Heavy the metal is ? If I back into a small tree, who wins tree or BTR ? Is it going to break, bend or stay strong in the woods when it clips a few trees ? Also I know it will tow your splitter and you say small trailer but how small is small? Pickup bed size trailer? How about trailer full of wood ? How much tongue weight do you think it will hold. Also is a chainsaw holder available for these ?
Good morning and thanks for watching! Some great questions - some of the answers I will get in time as I use it in the forest this spring - it is built pretty tough though - all steel and 300 lbs. I'll see who wins. LOL. The tongue weight on it is rated at 50 lbs. So depending on how your trailer distributes the weight and the capacity of the tractor, will largely decide how much wood you can throw in a trailer out back. You will see in the next video on it, just how thick and heavy the frame for the tongue is. I'll make sure to do some of that as well to see how she holds up. Yes, it came with one chainsaw holder (it was on the left side of the cross beam) but I did not have any bungees or straps with me to secure it down. The saw bar slides down through the bracket but I wanted to strap the saw in so it wouldn't move around too much. You can also order additional saw holders for it as well. Thanks for the great questions (and ideas for me to include in videos). All the best!
Nice setup! I will be curious what you think of it compared to your own carry all!
Thanks Chad. Me too. We will use it for some time and get a good idea of it benefIts and uses. Thanks again and all the best!
Why does everything have to be so expensive!!! Almost $1500 for that bad boy, would love one tho😊
So true, Nick. But hey - 300 pounds of steel. That might explain it. Thanks and all the best! Keep smiling!
whats the green tool that you roll along the trees you cut?
Hi Grant - it's called a Mingo Marker. We have been using them for years here. simple but works. they have a website - themingomarker dot com. Cheers!
Where did you get the big tool rack? How much was it shipping and all?
Hey good evening Dean. It was provided to me by Tim at BTR to try out. I think if you go on the site you will see the pricing and I think it is free shipping in the US ( I think). If you are in Canada, leave a contact message and they can fill you in on the costs to Canada. Good luck!
Awesome attachment! I saw what seemed to be a shackle with an adapter. Could you please get me the name of that piece? I assume it hooks up to the drawbar. Thanks
Good morning Adam! Sharp eye. LOL. Yes, it actually was the drawbar for my B2601. I put the shackle in the hole so I can hook chains to it easily for pulling things when needed. I leave it off the tractor often because I have to remove it when using the rear PTO, but I carry it when I may need to haul something out of the woods etc. Have a great week!
Oh that makes sense. Did you just buy a standard 3/4 inch shackle or did you have to buy a larger one to fit around the drawbar? Thank you
Hi G P. When you are out in the woods cutting trees like today are you alone, or is there someone else with you ie. filming or out of camera range? Also you remind me of Murray Westgate. I think you look and sound like him. Any relation? For those of you watchers not from Canada Murray Westgate was a Canadian icon from the 1950's -60's.
Good morning Milton. The Esso man! LOL. No relation, I am afraid but boy, I had not heard that name for a while. Usually I don't fell trees or work alone with a saw very often. When I do though, I always let Guy or Bob know where I am and how long I'll be. They are great neighbours and friends. 90% of the time I am usually with one of them. Thanks for asking Milton. Have a wonderful week!
@@GPOutdoors Hello G P. Well I got to say that to me you remind me of him. Watching you brings me back to my childhood lol. Only Canadians and some Americans of a certain age know what I am talking about. Murray Westgate died just last year. He was 100. If any of your followers agree or disagree with me I would like them to leave a comment.
It is also good to hear that someone knows when you are out working in the woods. Always beware of the perils working in the woods especially cutting trees.
As Murray would say "goodnight and happy motoring" or should I say
happy tractoring.
Thanks so much Milton. I enjoyed the walk back memory lane. And yes, I agree it is important that someone always knows where you are when you are alone. Thanks again for your kind concern. All the best!
Did I see the Big Tool Rack costs $1600 US? Maybe that is the gold plate version.
Good morning Bob. Yes, I believe so. 300 lbs of steel probably has a big influence on it, I imagine. Have a good one!
Hi, what was the green tool you tan over the log. Thanks
Hope I'm right here but I think you're talking about the Mingo Marker . It makes a mark on the log for certain distances .
Can you put a link in your next video, possible to go over what you put on your new tool carrier
Thanks Larry
Good morning Larry. Yes, Henry is right on - it is a Mingo Marker. If you are interested in them, then if you live in the US, I think it is best that you can order it direct from them (they are in Montana - website of the same name - mingomarker). If you are in Canada, you can either order from them direct or from my website. Whichever works out best for you. Hope that helps! Cheers!
... Too nice to scratch ...
LOL!
What? No coffee cup holder?!? Cheers.
Hey good evening Terry and great to hear from you. Good point. I never even checked that out but it is a must-have. LOL. Cheers and all the best!
Well... I did go look at it on their website... But $1450 US is pretty pricey...
Good day - Thanks Brian! Like many attachments, it is important to consider the need/functionality versus the cost on these pieces of equipment. Thanks again! Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors I appreciate it's a nice design and like your channel .... However your review lacked pricing or comparable options so it could be perceived as an advertisement for it.
Many your tube creators do this and it's fine ... But if you got a discount or the item for free, then you should be disclosing that fact as you are now a paid endorser of the product.
At over $2200 Canadian when you add exchange and taxes it seems priced quite high for what it is and I felt that cost should have been in your review.
Thank you for time and enjoy your new tool.
Good afternoon Brian. Thanks for your thoughts. You probably didn't watch the video I issued 4 days ago. As mentioned, I still maintain the same principles as I always have. I refuse to accept any compensation for the various types of equipment you have seen on the channel over the last two years. The equipment is loaned to the channel and it gives an opportunity for me, and you, to see it perform and learn about it. I could certainly use the money, however I feel that taking money for using it would be a conflict of interest for me. I don't accept scripting or editing or any other influence on my videos from the manufacturers. That is always part of the deal. Or I don't accept the equipment. The channel provides you, the viewer, access to see different types of equipment being used. It provides me the opportunity to learn new things and new equipment. I show you everything. I have never, and I don't, tell you to buy something. I just show it to you. The determination of value versus price is individual to each of us. Whether you choose to buy a piece of equipment I get to use on the channel or not, is inconsequential to me. I can assure you, that is not the same for many other channels. I have lots of folks, like yourself that I think, expect me to be honest and forthright, and I always have been. I don't put the cost of any equipment in my videos because the videos last forever, and prices change, and I have no interest in having to go back regularly to numerous videos to try to update them, nor do I want the liability associated with an inaccurate pricing that may cause the manufacturer a loss in the future due to my outdated quotation. In short, we try to have fun, get to see new and different pieces of equipment and get to learn together. And I promise, if I ever get compensated for something, I will tell you folks, just as I have promised in the past. I appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts and hope this answers any concerns you may have had. Thanks again for supporting me and the channel - I do appreciate it, Brian. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors BRAVO👏👏👏
It would be nice to know how it connects to the tractor.
Good evening Norm. Thanks for the great question. It just hooks up like a regular attachment to the 3 point hitch. It is also Quick Hitch compatible too which is very handy. Thanks for the question. Cheers!
It mounts directly to the 3 point hitch.
GP Outdoors thank you
Can you get the BTR with cheese? 🤔🤔🤔
LOL! Good evening my friend. I am pretty sure that you might be able to get the option. But not sure which option they would offer first. Hope you are well. Cheers Tom! (and thanks for making me smile - early morning or late at night.:))
where are they going to be selling it in Canada? and do you know for how much?
Tsc stores have them . 1999.00. $
@@stephenrhodesianridgeback7418 Ya i know, i was hoping if they were gonna be bringing more stock here it would bring the price down. $2000 is WAY too much for that. Pretty sure that is about double for what it is in USD. Its a cool product, but the guy needs to fix his margins.
Nicholas Fekkes yes the dollar difference and the shipping etc kills us up here . The king cutter dump trailers also are same as rural king on outdoor with Morgan’s but twice the price here . I build my own stuff when I can because of this 👍
So, how are going to use your log winch with the toolrack?
LOL. Good morning Stanley. I am thinking that we will probably be using this to hold our equipment etc and will station it out where we will be working - great that it has legs on it and we can use it as a work bench too. Then I will load up other equipment as needed on the 3 point. Lots of different ideas in my head but I'll learn as I go. Hope all is well. Cheers!
