multipurpose lifter

[ae_ted]

This is my lifter my B-R-L designed. We started with a lifter from TCS(red to match tractor of course) Used 4*4 for base with all treated lumber. Note the casters on bottom to make attaching easier as this rig is not light! The back and base are secure but the sides, combo seat and tailgate, are easily removed and replaced with no extra hardware. This rig is now 10yr old and I am getting ready to paint it to match the tractor. Better for grandkids in parades hehe. Also note the Pat's easy change system and the longer top link and the extended distance from the tractor. Don't know how much weight it will hold but I have had roofing shingles to the point that when I lifted, the tractor went on 2 wheels and I had to use the brakes to steer it across the yard.

Outstanding lifter. I loved the seat area that you can take out when necessary. Very clever.

Question: How tall are the casters? I would like to add some to my carry-all. I have a set of Pallet Forks that I use to slip on my carry-all, but the casters would be very handy.

Thanks for sharing.

4". Makes a lifter easier to line up. Even makes the Pat's system easier.
