Show me your 3pt carry-all

[Haywire]

One of the first things I think want to make for my BX2660 when it gets here is a carry all for the 3 point. I envision something that will carry a half pallet (4x2) stacked about 3 or 4' high with firewood. I'll use it for transferring firewood from the wood shed to the house rack.

thanks,
Ian

I'm thinking about building one, too, but I stopped at Del's the other day and looked at theirs. Lightweight one is only $139--hard to justify building one at that price. I think the HD one was around $200 IIRC.

Hard to beat $99 at TSC.

It would be easier and less expensive to reinforce one than build it from scratch. Not as much fun though.

Heck, a few pieces of angle like that TSC job couldn't cost much to slap together. Might go down and take some measurements if they have one in stock.

thanks,

I have desing plans for this one. I call it a 3 point fork lift, but it could be modified for many tasks. Philip.

Philip,

That looks very professional. Would you please post or E-mail the design plans for your 3-point forklift?

 

[Haywire]

That's nice Philip, looks like it's built stout. I was thinking about using 1.5" sq tube, but realistically for what I have planned for it, 2x2x1/4 angle will probably suffice.

Here are the plans. Philip.

I tend to call mine a Tote Box rather than a Carry-all. I haul wood with it and the wife uses it to work her flower beds. I've attached a couple pics and my plans. The best part of it was building it myself. Good for the Soul.

How much front weight to off set rear load?
