3 point carry all, build or buy?

[Jstpssng]

I’m buyinng mine from TSC tomorrow. I don’t own a welder or I would attempt to make one. Learning to weld is a goal I have though

It's almost a necessity if you are going to use your tractor, plus a lot of fun. I honestly believe that if things like welding were more prominently taught in school there would be a lot fewer problem kids, and less need to control them with drugs.

I got a used set of 3pt pallet forks - I found these more useful that a dedicated carryall - I have several different boxes built for different thing and I can just back up grab them and go. Just my .02

Totally agree! This is the only way to do it. Wood crates are free.

I agree. My wife comes from a family of welders. I should have plenty of teachers. I’ve already seen a change in my kids since we moved to property. Lots to do and none of it includes electronics

Can't argue with that logic if one can find a set at a great price - I always look if for no other reason than to get another pair of forks for the FEL forklift attachment I already have. I would do this for sure if I could find them less expensive than a simple carryall attachment that I could adapt.

Have any Canadians managed to find a distributor ANYWHERE in Canada that will sell a carry all?
My local dealerships (three different tractor companies) have catalogues that show carry-alls - but after calling around, none of them actually carry them.

Regarding the boards - 6 inch overhand on each end? 2x8s or 10s? Read a few threads and don't recall seeing the board sizes, which of course can vary from user to user.

One very important note concerning the trailer hitch, as I have it installed; it ain’t good for pulling logs out of a pile! I knew better but broke the 2”x10” board that the hitch is mounted to. I’ve since replaced it but I may end up welding a piece of 3” angle across to mount the hitch to.

Personally, I bought the King Kutter frame from a local tractor dealer. I think I paid less than $150 out the door. Probably could make it for less, but hey, my time is worth something. I have got an overview of mine on my YouTube channel. For those interested, please take a look.

I find the Outdoor with the Morgans videos quite useless. They have the perfect tool for everything and never have to find a way. Just way to cut and dried and not reality.
