Nearly all the fore mentioned. Isnt it funny....after you carry a few nuts, bolts, washers etc. that accumulate over the years compiled with dirt, there is no room for wrenches and drawbar pins lol....

I've seen the time I would have traded the tool box AND its contents for a few squares of bung fodder !

I tend to travel light, usually within sight of the barn, anyway. Some form of pliers, pins and clips, crescent hammer, wire for cleaning sprayer tips, spare sprayer screens, and of course the stick for checking how much gas is in the tank of the two cylinders.

Two 12" crescents, pliers, 6in1 screwdriver, extra draw pin&clip spare spark plugs in all the tractors. For the one I use to cut wood a separate tool box with extra chains, spark plugs, felling wedge, etc.

That's a good idea. I always carry it but never bothered with the bag.

My inventory goes all the way from a full set of sockets and end wrenches to a mere tin can for the exhaust depending on the tractor.

Toolbox inventory is in the other tractor. I can't switch tractors fast enough to catch up with the tools.

The only tools I keep on my tractor I use for discing, is a crowbar and a hammer to remove rocks that get stuck between the disc blades. My mowing tractors I keep a hammer in the battery box. The pickup usually isn't too far away with a full tool box. Stan

I don't see a need to carry too many things on tractor, hammer and screwdriver. That way if I can't beat it up I can screw it up.

I have a complete service truck, 3 large tool boxes on wheels.
