DIY Carry All

[Neat 1500]

i have wanted a carry all for some time now but the few i looked at were crap,i would break them in 5 minutes. there are some dear ones but cant justify paying that for a carry all. decided to build my own, when its finished it wont break and will have costed me 2 days labour and $100 in materials, much better. then i will also make a 3PH towbar for it also.

Looks like your working on your stuff at work! I think you mentioned you work for a municpality? Thats a great perk, or either you got a nice shop.

Very nice can't wait to see the finished product.

I thought that picture was of your shop. I cheated and looked at the end of your grinder!

Thanks for the idea. I think I'll take some time tomorrow and make myself one of these. It'll give me a nice break from fixing my tractor (seeing as it's almost 100F here, recently). They do seem simple enough to make.

I'm wondering how tough it'll be to fabricate a dirt scoop, seeing as I have no FEL on mine.

A dirt scoop is one of the least expensive implements. I put an add on Craig's list wanting one and put down a $100 for the price. A gentleman called me, told me he had one, I picked it up. I see them on Craig's list in the $150 range every once in a while. I don't think you can build one for that. Here is an example. Farm Implements for sale

Neat lives in Australia... Might be a different ball game over there.

Some more of my senility coming out. I knew that! Sorry. Wait a minute, I was referring to Domush fabricating one.

I was about to say, you were talking to D, not to Neat?

Mass confusion! I have CRS from time to time too fellas.

Instead of a platform carryall, I cobbled some scrap into a fork assembly for my Quick Hitch.

It moves pallets of lumber and bricks, pallets built up into mulch cribs, and I often carry this 4x6 platform made from a pallet.

Hmm. I should have painted it.

I too have forks. I just slid on a pallet and can haul just about whatever my tractor will lift. I have moved all sorts of stuff, garden tractors, my small tiller, my big tiller, logs, rocks, tools, implements. Very useful tool. I do wish it worked better hauling the trash can down to the bottom of the driveway though.

 

[winston1]

John Deere, if that is a belt driven tiller what do you hook it to.

 

[Neat 1500]

did some more on it today but it will have to wait till next weekend to finish it.

A dirt scoop is doable as I did make one based on the pictures that I had seen on TBN and on the net, but that was becasue I could not find one here and still cannot find them here. However in the States I would think that it would be cheaper to locate one on ebay, or Craig's list. It is not so difficult and even easier if you had one to look at and get some measurements from.:thumbsup: links to mine is in the signature below.

Neat that is a great job on your carry all. I actually did as California and made some forks for the 3pt that I can use to carry pallets with stuff around.

They always look sort of flat and unremarkable. Good job on the carry all though.

That's the kind of pics I would take if I was showing off my welding.
