Right now it's rockchuck and raccoon invasion season, and it seems every time that I go out and plant myself somewhere to wait for them to pop up (even if they showed up on the gamecam just ten minutes earlier), I can wait for an hour and never see one. I see them all the time when I'm on the tractor.
So I'm looking for a tractor mount that can handle either my AR or my air rifle, or possibly shotgun as well. Obviously it would have to handle bumps and vibrations, which are usually felt more on a tractor than say a pickup or ATV. I was looking at the below, which looks like it would work well for maybe mounting to the ROPS bar, but my concern is the "up to 15lbs of carrying strength". That seems a little weaksauce, especially for the extra bounciness of a tractor. The reviews though (for as much as you can trust Amazon reviews anymore), seem to indicate that they would indeed hold up. Maybe it's 15lbs per, not per pair, for 30lbs?
Any thoughts on this or suggestions for better alternatives?

There are times I get off the tractor and am a walking dust cloud, like Pigpen in Charlie Brown.
