3 point carry all, build or buy?

ovrszd,

As shown in the second picture, that's the oddest exhaust stack I have ever seen.

Seriously, Great looking project!

That's what you call a "smokehouse"!

I can't help it either...Oversize how much use does this machine get during nesting season?

Get looking job, EL.

I built mine but it was because I knew what I wanted to do with it would destroy any other I had seen. Mine is made of 2x2x1/4 with a 2x4 main beam. I welded in 3/4" homemade 3 point hitch mounts and the bracing is 3/8. I know it has lifted enough that a massy 35 with a front loader popped a wheelie until it finally pulled the car I chained to it out!

I built mine. Have no idea how much it cost me. I was more concerned about building something that would take a beating. This one works for me.

Sorry I don't have plans, just made it up as I went along.

Nice! OK what's the 90 all about?

I need a light duty, 300-500 lb rating, carry all to mount my 25 gal sprayer on. Have a BX2350 Kubota. I see them for 65-125 dollars. American farmland has a good one for 65 +freight. Anyone built one, or have most bought one? Anyone have set of plans for one? Harry

I think you have to want to do it, everything I build I can buy cheaper.
Heck I'm not sure you can do a good paint job for $65.00

As JC said.. unless you have all the metal for free, and a welder.. it may be easier to buy.

I got my carryall back when TSC had them for 49$... love it..

Search for 'carryall' in the forums. There's loads of ideas, pictures and suggestions. This thread is good for instance, CarryAll, how to make one? or, where to buy one? - TractorByNet.com but it's only one of many. Yeah, they're are lots of reason's to just plunk down the cash and get something ready-made, but once you see what others have thought up, you may not be happy with a couple of chunks of angle iron sticking out behind your rig. You probably will spend more than $65, spend a couple of weekends working on it and probably make something a whole lot better than what the feed store sells too. Scope out all the options before you go store bought.

I bought 2 of the TSC carryalls and use them all of the time. I lengthened the tines on one of them and use them as pallet forks to move firewood (on pallets). I angled the ends of the 12" extensions to help enter the pallet. I couldn't live without mine and for $90 or whatever I paid, they are very useful. They would be made heavier if I made them myself but are stronger than anything my 3ph can lift so they work very well for me. I also drilled a hole in the end to attach a ball hitch to pull the log splitter with a pallet on the carryall.

Looks great!! how do you keep the tilt bed from staying tilted ? Do you have a pin or something to keep it horizontal during transport?

Jc,

Good point. Should have added this picture. I totally forgot about a latch mechanism until I dumped a load of firewood. Necessity being the driving force ya know. So I went back in the shop and added this latch on one side. Then after I noticed the twist I was putting on the box with just one latch, I added a second on the other side. Ultimate goal is a hydraulic dump cylinder after I get rear remotes added to the tractor.

I never noticed the birdhouse smokestack until someone else mentioned it the first time I posted that picture. I couldn't have shot that better if I tried!!!

ovrszd,
That is one sweet dump/carry all you made. Adding the hydraulic dump cylinder will make it perfect.
Outstanding work!
