Lawn tractor carrier

I was wondering how the weight back there would work out. If on a hill I could see that being a potential issue. I don't plan on using it in my field which has a few small hills but if I do, I'll make sure to pay attention. I also don't really think I need 15 gallons for most things but that's the smallest I've seen of this style. My driveway is flat so if I do fill it I won't have an issue there.

I found a local place with a couple of this style bagger on tractors they are working on. I took pictures so I could have a reference because it doesn't sound like they have any for sale. The bracket that attaches to the lower part is really simple so I could probably get some sheet and fabricate my own to attach the deck of the carry-all to. I agree that it needs some bracing though since I'm not convinced it will take bumps well. 3 bags of wet grass could weigh a lot but probably not 100lbs.

Sure, you wouldn't have to fill it. Her's is the small chassis and wheel package too. The only thing I noted on my customer's was the self threading shoulder bolts that attached the bracket - 1 was pulling loose. The others were holding so I just put a nut on the one whilst I was there.

I was able to find the upper frame buried deep in the bone yard so i picked it up in case it would help. I see what yall mean about the flex when pushing on the frame fork ends. I was planning on reinforcement and shorter shelf which should help. I'll think it over a bit before modifying but this is either a good start or a good reference.
