I used to use the carry-all with the old 8N. It would hold so much, the front just bounced lightly like you see at tractor pulls. It had a receiver hitch to pull the splitter. When I got the JD with a loader, I started using a 4' x 8' trailer. With the bucket and trailer I can get much more wood to the shed per load.

I built a bunch of these crates to stack all my fire wood in. Now your wood stack comes to the source. Stack it once and done

Can you use your 3pt and chain to skid a few good size trees at a time across your pasture then cut and split back home?

my dad put a 4 foot piece of plywood in his bucket and chained the front outside corners to the tow hooks on top of his bucket for his MF as a bucket extender. he is able to carry quite a bit this way.

I built a 4 foot wide by one row worth by 5 foot high carryall out of scrap t posts and c channel for my tractor. later i welded a 1 1/4 hitch tube under carry all for a cheap tow option for my splitter or trailer at the same time.

they both works for our needs. you should be able to figure something that works for you

IBC totes are invaluable on my farm. Google the images for ibc tote firewood.

Farm hay wagon can make tight turns, or make a single axle trailer with the axle mid-wheelbase. wherever tractor goes, the trailer will follow.
