Attached are some pics of a carry all I made for my 2538 fork attachment. It is made out of treated 2x6 and 4x4's. It measures 6' x 4' and I have $120 in materials in it. I debated welding a steel frame but I wasn't going to end up saving much on weight. The total weight is right at 420 lbs. I have some u brackets that I will attach to the back so that I will be able to dump. Once I get those on I will see if I need a channel on the bottom for the forks to slide into.

Thank you for posting. I'm going to be making something similar soon. It looks like you used some type of lag bolt- can you expand on the fasteners? Also did you use any type of glue? I don't know what sticks to the PT wood.

Looks good!

I didn't use any glue or liquid nail just the structural wood screw. They are $33 for a box of 50 but unlike a bolt you don't have to pre drill which is nice. I am going to use 4 of the u bolts to secure through the back 2x6 to the forks. I plan on leaving the carry all attached to the forks most of the time.

Thanks for the photos...I made one this fall. I added 2 inch conduit to hold shovel and rake. I also added 4 caster wheels on the bottom so I can move the unit without the use of tractor in storage.
