Sizing stones - I use 100#'s / cubic foot.

As for your 3pt ? - if you exceed the capacity of your 3pt no harm should be done, but you won't get any lift...

<font color=blue>...TSC has a 3 pt platform you can put your own box on. I'm going to pick one up and build a flat pallet type platform on it to use as a carry-all. (they're cheap too - under $100)</font color=blue>

I was having a lot of trouble on the TSC site.. Opera 6.. then I tried it with Exploder, and it worked fine. However, I still can't find these 3pt platforms or forks. Can you give me a clue how to get to the right area?

Thanks...

Actually...I've never looked at their website 'cause they have 3 stores in my area - I pass 1 everyday to - from work, there's one just 10 miles from the house and another just a coupla miles from the office. .... I'll take a look and get back to ya --- maybe pick up a new catalog at the store ...

Bob, they call it a "Carry All"; it's on page 169 of the 2001 Blue Book, part #21-28202 for the one made by Wallace, and part #21-28210 for the one made by King Kutter.

Ah, I think I found the perfect solution. A rear scoop! For winter snow plowing, I can just put a few bags of salt or sand, unopened, in the thing for some weight.. and in case I need the stuff. Then in the summer I can use it for moving dirt, rocks, etc. I found a thread somewhere where people were raving about the utility of these things, especially for someone who doesn't have a FEL.

Now I'll sit back and wait to hear the reasons why my brilliant new plan won't work. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Seriously, many thanks for all the advice and pointers!!

Bob, I don't have one of those scoops because I do have a front end loader, but if I didn't have the front end loader, I'm sure I'd buy the 3-point scoop; looks like a very handy implement.
