Show me your 3pt carry-all

[Haywire]

One of the first things I think want to make for my BX2660 when it gets here is a carry all for the 3 point. I envision something that will carry a half pallet (4x2) stacked about 3 or 4' high with firewood. I'll use it for transferring firewood from the wood shed to the house rack.

thanks,
Ian

I'm thinking about building one, too, but I stopped at Del's the other day and looked at theirs. Lightweight one is only $139--hard to justify building one at that price. I think the HD one was around $200 IIRC.

Hard to beat $99 at TSC.

It would be easier and less expensive to reinforce one than build it from scratch. Not as much fun though.

Heck, a few pieces of angle like that TSC job couldn't cost much to slap together. Might go down and take some measurements if they have one in stock.

thanks,
Ian

I have desing plans for this one. I call it a 3 point fork lift, but it could be modified for many tasks. Philip.

Philip,

That looks very professional. Would you please post or E-mail the design plans for your 3-point forklift?

 

[Haywire]

That's nice Philip, looks like it's built stout. I was thinking about using 1.5" sq tube, but realistically for what I have planned for it, 2x2x1/4 angle will probably suffice.

Here are the plans. Philip.

I tend to call mine a Tote Box rather than a Carry-all. I haul wood with it and the wife uses it to work her flower beds. I've attached a couple pics and my plans. The best part of it was building it myself. Good for the Soul.

How much front weight to off set rear load?

 

[bikerdib]

Haywire, unless you are just trying to use material that you already have on hand, I'd suggest at least 3X3 X 5/16 (or 3/8) or maybe even 4X4 X 5/16 (or 3/8). It won't cost that much more but would be able to handle more weight. I tend to over build for the "just in case" and 2X2 X 1/4 is pretty light.

This one's based on a KK from TSC. The sides and seat are removable and it is equipped with a receiver hitch. The floor and back are 2x12's and the sides are 2x10's. The girl was an extra cost option.

$150 from Agri-supply

Here is mine:

I use mine mainly to carry water out to the newer trees. The planking is just wide enough for two 55 gallon drums. I'm guessing a full load weighs about 1000 pounds including all carry-all material. A 12 volt pump works nicely for watering and that is mounted on the top rear of the carry-all.

Did not build a dump in it, but I find lots of uses for it. This is a load of wood for the OWB.

 

[Haywire]

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll go price some steel and see what I come up with.

Here is what I made if you don't need it real big. I use it as a carry-all, and weight box. I use gravel for weight and when full it's more then enough.

Bought the frame from TSC then attached some 2X12's & 6" PVC

I was inspired by your construction & just went & bought the carry-all from TSC. Could you advise what the green metal brackets that your sides lock into are called ? Gonna steal your construction plan and make a seat for my Queen as well....... perhaps I can get some work out of her if I'm tricky enough.
