Trying to find a bracket or clamp to mount a shovel and ax onto my quad, does anyone have ideas who would sell something like that? Or even any other "Macguyver" suggestions?

When I bought my Kolpin gun boot I had these laying around so mounted them on the front rack to hold a small shovel.

What make of Quad do you own, do you have a rear cargo box, what's on the front rack, that'd be the best place for them. I carry a small snow shovel with me in the winter, I added 4 small round eye hooks on each corner of my big plastic cargo box on the back of the Quad, that's where I bungee down the shovel, small tent, folding chair etc. I also added a front rack with sides on the front rack, that's where the Husky chain saw, ropes, cables, snatch block,small bottles of mixed gas and chain oil and my plug in coffee cup ride, never lost a thing out of it yet. And, I bolted on a gas rack to the rear rack too, it takes a 2 1/2 gal.gas can nice and tight, on the front window pillars I attached two J hooks, covered them with pipe insulation, and that's where the Rifle of the day rides, the second one rides in the Gun Boot I bolted on the front right side of the rack, real easy too get out too. With the amount of crap I cram in the rear box for ever trip, if you ever get lost, get lost with me, you'll gain weight, I guarantee it!!!

I have a Honda 300, I have a soft bag/seat on the back, for the wife and gear. I have the gas rack on the back as well. I have a handle bar gun rack for my rifle, then a 2 gun holder on the front rack where I put my small game gun and bog pod. I'm thinking I want to mount the shovel/ax on the front just above where my winch is mounted. I've seen a few different options that 4x4 guys add to their cargo baskets etc. Was looking for something a lil less costly. Eventually I want to get a cargo box for the front, would like something that I can mount my secondary gun rack to, haven't found much yet for that. I was thinking about just strapping them on with bungee cords but thought that would rattle around too much.

I've got a set of those as well. Used them to hold my rifle on the back of my CT110. Worked great! Would definitely hang onto a shovel.

I use an Axe Mate for the axe and bungeys for the shovel.
