My Carryall Project

tornadowatchranch · Jan 10, 2011

I just finished mine. I added a 2x6 lip around the edge sticking up to keep things from rolling off. I also added 5 inch swivel casters to make moving it around the barn when detached and also attaching it easier. I may make some fold out sides like the wilson outsdoors guys did. I still need to put the pvc pipe on the back for the shovels. I have the supplies--just no time.

I finally got out to TSC and the last part I need: The toplink pin. (I also bought one of every cat. 1 size they had) Also bought some paint to paint it orange eventually...

Pictures of tractor with carryall:

I was looking at your pics and I am impressed with the result. I do have one question... what do you have on the top of your ROPS? Are those strobes?

If they are, I like the size of them... can you provide some detail on make, size and source? My reason... I have a plan. But details please...

Good idea! I have a roll around tool cart that could double as a carry all, I like it. If I retired tomorrow I would be busy for ten years with all the ideas you guy share.

Kyle, now that you got your carryall together, what implement are you planing to get next? I am kinda considering getting a carryall, not now, but this summer for the 3720 but If I did my step mom may want to bring the dogs for a ride on it through the pasture, that means i would need a back door on it too. :laughing: I think you have the right thinking for the paint, wait for it to fade and get in rough shape, them paint it. Why waste a good can of paint? :thumbsup:

CTF - were you able to get one of the Cat 1 pins to fit? I couldn't find one that did when I went to buy one of these? Love the project.

Nice project. If you wanted to haul firewood or whatever it would be easy enough to prefab sides that go on + off.

Looks good though!
