Yet another carry-all

rbstern · Mar 27, 2021

Bought a new log splitter, and looking for ways to make my processing setup more efficient. Already had the County Line carry all frame. Had been using it with a customized pallet for similar purposes. Decided to build the same style carry-all that most seem to like. The wood was already on hand, in the "leftovers" pile from our 2018 house build. Nothing unique about the build, except I mounted a Husqvarna Powerbox using a clamping lamp bracket. It's removable, or can be swapped to be carried on the back side of the carryall. Hearing and eye protection, small tools, oil, etc., go in the box.

Needs a coat of stain or paint, just haven't gotten to that yet.

Total out of pocket build cost: $20 for the carriage bolts, washers and nuts, bought by the pound at TSC.

Are planning to add front weight?

rbstern · Mar 27, 2021

The yanmar has 180 pounds of suitcase weights, and the front tires are filled. Wouldn't mind adding another 100 lbs. Have an LS with FEL. Serious loads will be handled by the LS. Didn't have any problem with what I did today using the yanmar.

Being able to pull your splitter like that gives you a whole lot more options on how you work

Nice build ...am thinking of doing similar to mine when I get a frame.

Did you attach the receiver hitch to just the one back board or did you run another board from the front to the back tying all the bottom boards together?

No, just bolted thru the last board. I won't tow anything with it other than the log splitter or a yard cart. If I was going to pull something more substantial, I'd consider reinforcing it.
