Default The "Blackberry Express"

Hi,
I have had this idea of building a cart to haul the grand kids around. Here are some shots as I put it together. I have seen others like this. But this is my design
We named it the "Blackberry Express" because granddaughter Addison (2-1/2) was the first to ride in it to go get blackberry's with Papa! Her and sister Marly loved it! Hope this gives someone some ideas. Took about 4 hours to design and build. Seat runs length wise of the barrel, has back rest ,and grab handles. Son-in-law Mark is getting instructions on handling his precious cargo, from the old gray haired one.
Cart = $35
Ubolts = $5.50
Wood free,
Barrel= Free,
Grins and smiles = Priceless!!!!
Regards,
Chris

The grins just about say it all. Makes me think back when my kids rode in a wagon behind me.

That is cool. From the looks of it I am imagining you backing it down a boat ramp until the blue "boat" floats and detaches from the trailer.

Allen, Petrus, Todd,
Yep Marly and Addi loved it. I have a shot some where of Nic in it too! I have to get that off my phone and try to post it. A classic shot since he is 21
I like the boat ramp thing
Todd I posted some shots of the show on the post titled Wayne show ....
I had a great time but it was way HOT! Lots of Fords and Case and John Deere and Allis and .......... Wow very nice show . Almost overwhelming for a smaller local show. Great grounds and nice hit and miss stuff too.
Regards,
Chris

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
