I hate to throw things away if there is any use for them, but I have some old file cabinets that will never be used again. I came up with a way to make one of them into a rear carry box that should come in handy. When I work firewood, I'm always carrying things in the bucket but I've not been happy with that approach.
Basically, I cut out the drawers and cut a slot in the base for carrying tools like shovels and rakes. I made a sleeve out of plywood and mounted on the other side to carry the chainsaws. For simplicity, I made a 2 inch tube bracket so I can attach it to my receiver attachment for the quick hitch. I could have put a three point attachment on it, but this was much simpler.
I had the steel, the plywood and paint left over from other projects. The only cost was a dollar or so for fasteners from Tractor Supply (bulk by the pound).
