Front loader carryall

[dooger54]

I'm looking for ideas on how to add a "carry-all" to my front bucket. I did some searches and couldn't find anything although I know I've seen them here before. I need to add a platform of some kind so I can more easily transport larger items, like my pressure washer, around my property. I do have a welder. Would like something that is easy to add/remove.

I think the ones you've seen were home built items.
Take a look in the "Build It Yourself", "Projects", and "Welding" forums.

Not sure what kind of tractor you have, but I have quite a few posts regarding building my carrall and setting up a loader-mounted quick hitch that might give you some ideas. Search for my posts in the Build It Yourself forum.

You could use a set of forks and build any type/size carryall you desired out of wood.

Or use a loader mounted receiver hitch and slide a conventional carryall into it.

You could also get a a 3pt carryall from tractor supply for small money.

Here's one monster box I built to handle leaves, also makes a nice work platform for reaching higher places. but this does require you to have the forks.

I took 2 pieces of C-channel, and notched them to slide over the bucket, like forks. Then I can put plywood over them to make a large flat work area. You may want to re-enforce the sides if you intend to use them on very heavy loads. The nice part was, the materials cost very little.

My tractor is a NH 35 with 6' FEL. I wanted the platform to load from the front so I could keep another implement on the 3pt hitch. Seems like my sprayer or something else is always attached to the rear.

I hadn't thought of the other forums suggested. Will do a search for on those also.

I have the same situation. I really like being able to just grab the carryall on the front and go, without having to drop the mower, chipper or whatever is on the back.

Thats Nice! The whole dang work bench!
I like it cause the older I get the less I like working on the ground, this way I got a small bench to work off of!:thumbsup:

That is very nice!! You're set up for the whole day!!
Is that box on forks, or did you build a QA hookup on it?

Do you have posts anywhere showing how you constructed that??
