Haven't done much with the GX lately, but I have been up to other things. I made some add-ons for a cheap Titan Attachments 3 point ballast box for a family member. My fabrication list included a top rack for a tool box plus side baskets for a 2.5 gallon fuel can and jug of chainsaw bar oil. I also bolted a ROPS chainsaw mount to the front of the box. Everything was built out of flat strap (3/16" and 1/8") bent in my press brake. I've been come quite fond of fabricating with the bent flat strap as it's quick, flat strap is cheap, and the resulting parts are strong.
Here it is on my tractor (a John Deere 3025D). It will be going on a 3043D which is the same as mine except having a turbo engine with nearly 2X the horsepower (they have over 100 acres of woods, I have <5!).
^In hindsight I should have dropped the rear bar for the toolbox rack so it could be opened on the tractor.
^Everything is bolted to the box using M8x1.25 hardware.
^The saw position is less than optimal, but should work. It could probably be tilted down to the saw is more horizontal.
^Using the tractor itself as a drying rack for painted items. It's amazing how many one-off things like this a compact tractor with pallet forks can be used to do.
