Very cool. What does the empty carrier itself weigh?

About 300 lbs ish. I have a 4" poured concrete "floor" which fits into the box if I just want to use it as a counterweight/ carryall, or for hauling firewood

Pretty neat! Where did you get the sunshade?

I built it. Just a chunk of 3/8" plywood, easily replaceable when it gets dented by a tree.

This is great. Do you have other pictures? How does the dump mechanisms work? Do you any sort of build directions?

I do not have any other pics right now, the machine is on a job away from home otherwise I could get a few for you. The dump mechanism is a simple hook-and-latch. Pulling the rope lifts the hook. The pivot is the 3 point's lower lift arm connection. Google "transport box" and you will see many similar mechanisms. The main difference this one has is that this is actually a rear pallet fork that dumps, and the box just sits on the forks.
