Rifles on Farm Tractors?

I don’t have a tractor…
Shocking.

How do you spend your free time if you are not performing preventative maintenance, driving to town to the dealer for maintenance supplies, searching for spare parts, fixing broken tractors, fixing broken implements and trying to identify that loud noise you have never heard before?

The joys of owning and maintain farm equipment and not limited to the above but also, when something breaks, it is always as far away from the truck and the toolbox as possible. When you get to the truck and open the toolbox, you find the implement part you were certain you had as a spare isn't there. Another trip to town for parts but this time, you have to drop the farm trailer before you can go and reconnect it upon your return.

Lastly, where do you spend money if not on diesel fuel, lime and other amendments, seed, fertilizer and deer stands?

Shocking.

P.S. - Do you want to buy a tractor?

I resolved the mounting question as far as the Kawasaki Mule with a pair of Kolpin UTV Rhino Grip mounts. I installed them on the headache rack over the bed. The install was fairly easy and the fact that the kit included all parts (usually I find a nut or a bolt or something is missing) made it fairly quick.

Seems to be well made and I think it will serve the purpose well. I would not hesitate to buy it again.

Triple K makes good stuff. Packed my 1860 around for a bunch of years. Real stout leather, well made.

I don't have farm tractor, just a JD rider mower. So no place put a long gun where it wouldn't be in the way. But it does have a small compartment on the rear fender that I'll sometimes put my S&W 60 or Heritage .22 in. I'll usually have the S&W on my hip loaded with a mix of .357jhp and shotshells, since I'm not always mounted. The Heritage with .22mag shotshells and hp.

If I find a rattlesnake or a copperhead in an open field when I have a set of discs behind the tractor, it doesn't look good for the snake.

If I am on the Kawasaki Mule, then I need the rifle. I just can't shoot a handgun very well these days and in fact, I have significantly reduced the handgun inventory.

Black snakes, king snakes and such have right-of-way, however.
