Default Has anyone made a cargo carrier for the hitch, instead of using a wagon / cart?

It's the first day for my 1000, and I'm already wishing I had a good way to haul a few items from the house to my garage, which is down the street on another lot ... without having to deal with a cart.

There is a hitch on the back, I guess it's considered 3 point, and as I look at it, it seems that a bracket could be welded up to attach quickly and easily to the hitch & tongue, and which would have some bars or framework to hold a large crate / barrel etc. There are even some holes in the framework under the fender to attach a chain or bungee if needed.

I have an old wooden barrel, and a grease drum, both of which are smaller than a garbage can, but plenty large enough to haul a decent sized load of clippings or misc items, and it would be about even with the top of the seat back, and ride close to the machine.

Close quarters in some areas around here, and something like that would take up way less room than a cart with wheels, and could be easily backed into tight areas.

Has anyone fabricated something like what I'm visualizing? Any pics? Seems like a handy idea, I figure it's been done.

Thx, Josh P

here is my hitch

Nice carry all. I am wanting something like that to carry a 10 gallon electric sprayer.

Adam that looks great! I read your thread and that's exactly what I had in mind. Great looking welds too. You better sketch it up and get a patent, those should sell like hotcakes. I'm not a fabricator, but I'll have to see if my friend could design one after seeing your pics.

Thx too William, I looked up the one from TSC called the Carry All, it's $119.00. Looks like it would get the job done.

Thx folks,
JP

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.
