I wish I could find one for that price. In central PA, they are run about $120. I would rather build one, but don't have the time.

Mine was about that price at TSC, too.

Here's a pic of mine attached. Been using it and the FEL to haul mulch down to the garden that last couple days.

I just bolted a pallet to the bottom and 1 bys to the holes in the back. Then I bolted some 2 bys to the pallet in which to insert vertical 2 bys with 1 bys for the sides. The back folds down. The back and 2 sides can be lifted out.

Have ordered some tree seedlings. Think I'll get a 50 gallon tank and mount it on the pallet (with sides and back removed) to water them.

Hey Dap, That metal frame... was it a commercial unit or did you buid it. If you built it was that included in the $79?

They are $117 at TSC:

Tractor Supply Company - CARRY ALL

Seems too high for a few pieces of steel.

 

[Soundguy]

It they were $50 I would buy one this afternoon, however the wife would be very unhappy if I dropped another hundred plus. I figure I can get the scrap need for about $20. The only problem is, I don't weld. I guess I will try to cut, drill and bolt. By the time I am done with that, I will have spent more on tools, then I would if had bought it at TSC. At least I would still have the tools though.

At Northern Tool the KK brand is $99 and the Howse is $85. The picture in the OP looks like the Howse:

Howse Carry All Fork — 3-Point, Category 1, Model# CA100 |Category 1 Attachments | Northern Tool + Equipment

The Howse does not appear to have predrilled holes but the KK does.

Wow.. I see TSC has gone up.. alot. Like I say.. when i bought my carry all it was 49$ along with the 500# boom pole.. same price 49$,.. I see now they are 117$ at TSC.. wow.. I guess that switch to yellow paint ( kk used to be red.. ) was costly..

Threee (3) years ago they were $69 at TSC. Got mine then haven't done anything with it yet, but I think I will build a removable side box.

It went up 10 bucks since I got it. And it says mine is rated at 1000 lbs., not 400.

I've had at least 600 pound stumps and beams on it easy.

I got mine from eBay for 48 bucks plus 12 shipping. Then rest was wood and bolts.

Bill, its an off the shelf unit from Homier. I got it off of eBay. See my post above.

 

[DAP]

FYI, the Howse is welded up stock. The Homier is a bolt together. This accounts for the rating difference.

What will go first? The weld? or the 3/4 bolt?

I figure my Homier is good for 1/2 ton.

I paid 49 dollars for mine at a Homier sale a few years ago. Like all their items, it seems cheap and flimsy, but I've had a lot of weight on mine. It's a little bent out of shape, but I've gotten my money out of it!
