I recently posted about wanting an attachment here. After discussion, that's not the right way to go for me. I decided to get a 15 gallon sparyer with a boom and wand. I could have gotten one with a set of wheels but I don't want to tow it and would prefer it to sit on the back of the tractor. I've seen a number of options from pre-2010 that were commercially available that look great. I've also seen a lot of topics where people have DIY'ed a carrier usually from the Harbor Freight ATV platform. The design that looks best is sadly not available any more as far as I can tell (Craftsman Load 'N Go P/N 610.24411). I like that this unit slips on the shoulder bolts on the side of the frame and with a single bolt/cotter pin it can be removed.
It looks like Cub Cadet sells one that's very similar but not sure if it would fit on an LT1000.
Since I haven't found one I know will work, I was thinking I could repurpose the grass catcher mount I found in the bone yard.
I'd just have to source/build a platform and attach it to the bagger tubes. I currently plan on this since I have the majority of the parts. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a source for the folding Craftsman utility platform? Mine would certainly work, but it's going to be a bit bulky and heavier. It looks like the Load 'N Go would be relatively light and would fold up very compact. I did locate a post on another forum where they posted pictures with all the measurements so I suppose I could get some 3/16 plate and fabricate my own. But for the original price of $60 (in 2010) I can't imagine even getting materials for that ignoring my time/labor.
