Really small world. Stop in when you go by so we can meet.

Jodebg,

So I was wondering where in New Hartford you lived so I looked at the picture on the first page and realized you are just around the corner from me. I'm on the dirt road. The guy in the silver Nissan pickup. Funny.

Sure thing; one of these evenings when I'm not running late for dinner.

Hi All,

so I installed the new hitch and took some pics. It's about 75% done for my needs. I'm thinking of painting it too.

Looks great! Like the tool rack.

I never take mine off. It's amazing what it can hold and then hauls the rest.

What color are you planning to use? Just ordered Valspar Kubota orange and
hardener yesterday for another project. Not sure if I will paint the carry all??

I ordered the double ball trailer hitch from Harbor Freight. Thought it would be
handy to have both a 2" and a 1 7/8" ball welded on and ready to use.

Do you haul a dump cart behind your tractor?

Not sure on color yet....maybe Deere green....I also had designs on maybe "trimming out" some of carryall with Azek or whatever Lowes or HD carrys....probably not, but thought about making it look better. It is extremely useful!

I do pull around a 17P dump cart as well as a fertilizer spreader and a lawn roller. All light duty stuff....

JD yellow might look nice on the cart.

I also have a JD dump cart-very handy. Did you build a set of rails for your dump cart?
If you are interested, I can send some photos of the set I came up with. Doubles the capacity
and I also carry my chainsaw and equipment on the rails and keeps the cart free.

I do have removable rails for the cart that I made. Hadn't thought of hooks for the chainsaw and other tools. Do send pics....I love the ideas!

Next time I set up the pull cart I will shoot some photos and post them. May take a while, but I will do this as soon as I can.
