Carry all
 

Had an idea the other day of building a 3pt carry all for my cub. Took some scrap steel and welded things up yesterday.

Also remembered old cheap trailer. Built carry all to fit trailer bed. Still have to shorted the trailer bed but think things will work well.

Photo of trailer on carry all. Will cut down soon.

looks like a cool setup

Nice work! :beerchug:

X2 How about a closer pic? This got me thinking about a mounted wood hauler for the winter. I have been loading a wheelbarrow and pushing it into the basement, takes one full one a day. The cubs just rest there in the winter so the 128 might just use something like that. Fill it and back it in right beside stove. I am betting I could haul two days worth on it. Turning a key sounds a lot better than pushing a wheelbarrow!!

looks like you could use it to move pallets around too.

Great idea. Looks almost like a standard class 2 fork carriage where if it actually was the forks are adjustable side to side, and then wow carrying a pallet if fire wood in at a time would be awesome. Or put the cheap trailer on with a pivot so it can dump, homemade Johnny bucket

Photo looking at connection.

Basically 1.25" square stock with angle iron legs.

The lower pins are mounted to a 3/8 inch thick angle iron which is welded to the square stock.

Yes it fits a pallet and I have already used it to move a empty water tank (built in pallet).

Would have to be a small pile of wood on the pellet for the cub to lift. Also my frame is a little light duty to lift more than a couple hundred pounds.

mover
 

that may be used to move some round hay bails to.
:bigthink:

X3- i also move a lot of firewood each year and just so happens that i have a small 10cu.ft dump trailer that needs tongue work and tires!

They would have to be awfully small round bales to move with a little garden tractor:biggrin2:

That's a neat idea. Does not look to light. Would certainly come in handy. Thanks for sharing.

Put the carry all to the test and a few minor issued developed.

The unit worked great with two rows of firewood level with the top. While I have a home made Johnny bucket on the front of the tractor I didn't require any additional front weight.

As with everyone I pushed it some more. If I pile the two rows of firewood as high as I can the front end gets light. Putting wood into the Johnny bucket solved the light front.

The resulting heavier load bent the metal plates mounting the hitch pins.
I had to add plates to handle the load.

Also added angle supports to help remove some flexing. The supports are bolted onto the carryall so they can be removed to use it like forks.

Here is the tractor loaded with wood (level with top).

I did have great traction with the carryall loaded. Even on muddy wet ground the tires never slipped.

That is a good load for sure. Looks like at least twice what my wheelbarrow holds. Looks 10 times easier to move too!!
