3PH Trash Can Holder

[dragoneggs]

FEL does the trick for me but I always love to see a a simpler way. I just don't want to swap out my BH to use my 3pt. Seems that the right 3pt implement would not be on regularly to suit me.

good job

I like that.

Ah WCA...can't stand them.

Thanks guys!

Yep, I hated to start my diesel truck or diesel tractor, to make the 1 mile round trip to set out the trash can.

So that was another reason on the list, to get an electric UTV.

This is a simpler way!

This isn't a 3PH trash can holder, it's a FEL trash can holder. It has a number of benefits:
1. easier to pick up and place the trash can
2. handles two cans if you want.
3. comes for free with the FEL

All it does is use the plates on the quick attach to pick up the cans by the same lip that the garbage trucks use.

But I can also do it with my bale spike (the bottom smaller pair of spikes fit around the lip of the can), and with my forks when the fork spacing is set to the width of the can.

Net: the FEL is really useful. No construction required to carry the can.

I'm thinking now maybe bungee the can into the bucket. If I can bungee it where it stays in I can drive right up to my dumpster and dump it.

Depending on weight you may want to use a cargo strap.

Bolt on forks and a "custom" pallet.

I can't believe how many of you guys have the trash picked up at your house. I have to haul mine off.

Good point. I'll be testing it out this week.

Me too! I used to have pick-up service at my last house, and it was great, but that will never happen where I currently live. I even haul away my leaves and pine needles (15+ trailer loads). I could burn them, but I can't stand the smell. :yuck:

If you have cans with a crossbar, a version of this would work, but simpler with a 3tp hitch.

Trash Can Carrier - Garbage Can Transporter

That thing is awesome. It's perfect for my Gator's hitch! I wouldn't want to leave that on the hitch on my truck or wife's SUV - or have to put it on / take it off every time I take the trash down the driveway to the county road.

Definitely buying one of these! :thumbsup:

This is the one I built. Really simple. It is in the "stored" position in a couple 2" vertical reciever sections right now, but all it is is some old 2" tubing that looks like this:

In the "to use" position, I slide it into the hitch mount using the stub that is pointing towards the tractor in the stored position.
All I have to do is back up to my trash can and lift the 3ph. The extent of my laziness knows no bounds...

This is using a hook in my receiver that I got from Harbor Freight.

C'mon Hanksride, you know we need pictures

Ok, finally took a couple pics for you, trying to upload them with my phone, hope it works.

 

[Hanksride]

Got the pics uploaded but wanted to add a few comments. This works great to take the trash to end of drive way with front loader top lip hooked under U-Bolts mounted to top of carry-all. However I would not trust it to over a few 100lbs of weight. Design is good but may want something more substantial than u-bolts for real weight capacity. I like that I have FEL and 3PH hook up options. I plan on adding a larger box so I can get more than 1 trash can in it at a time.

 

[freewookie]

All great ideas.

I also see some good reasons I "need" a welder.

 

[coal160]

Here are some better pictures of this in action. I'm sure that even without a welder, something could be bolted together pretty easily.

Yeah but I need another excuse to buy a welder.

Made my first run last night with it in the loader. My rigging needs some work. All was fine until I raised it to dump then one strap came loose. Fortunately I put a backup strap on just in case otherwise I'd been cleaning up a big mess in the dark.

 

[dragoneggs]

Yeah don't tell us you don't need a welder! I am on a sustained quest to convince the wife that this is the tool I really need. I only wish she had a very short memory.

Get her a welder for her birthday or anniversary:laughing:
