Carry-All Frame

[vic4news]

I wanted to add some ballast to my tractor when the backhoe wasn't on, so I decided to make a 3-pt carry-all frame. It is made with 2x2x3/16" tube, 1/2" flat bar and two pieces of 3x2 angle iron. I cut all the metal on my Jet 4x6 bandsaw.

I made it so that I could add forks to it later if needed. I plan to pour some concrete blocks for the weight.

You should get lots of use out of that 'tool carrier'.

nice job

Vic, nice workmanship. Looks very solid. Curious how this is loaded with tools or a load, as it is without a platform. Or is it strictly for carrying ballast blocks.

Very nice. Appears well thought out.

Hey Chickenman,

Am I seeing two versions of your "universal carrier," or pictures of a work in progress?

What material did you use?

I like it/them!

Thanks. I made it primarily to carry ballast blocks, but figured I could add a wooden platform for a carry-all. I also made it so I could insert a set of forks in the side rails.

It looks to me like you built it to last a lifetime. Nice job!
