Towable Kids Cart?

thepawnshop · Feb 10, 2008

I dont know if this is the right place to post this, but I am looking for plans for towable kids carts to pull behind my JD 2305 this spring/summer. I have a friend that is a welder and he said if I could come up with the plans, he could make it for me. Have any of you dont this before, and if so, could you PLEASE share your ideas with me? I really want something expandable so I could add "cars/trailers" one behind another. I wont be driving on rough terrain, but I will be going up and down gentle slopes (my driveway, my street, etc)

Thanks!

I've seen guys take a 55 gallon barrel and cut it in half, put some kind of light duty axels under it (picture a little red wagon set-up), and tow them one behind the other. Paint them bright colors and hook them up in a pattern. The kids love it. Be sure to swerve a lot and make the train "snake" around.

This is what Rick is talking about I think.

Spot on! That is fancier than the ones I've seen, but the idea is the same. Thanks.

The steam show I go to in MO has a barrell train like that. It is designed so that the whole train follows in the same tracks of the lawn tractor that pulls it. Kids love it especially when you circle their teacher.
