3 point carry all, build or buy?

I find the Outdoor with the Morgans videos quite useless. They have the perfect tool for everything and never have to find a way. Just way to cut and dried and not reality.

Um, ahight den

I agree the Morgan You Tube is a guide on what a rich person should buy to do work around the property from mowing a large acrage to cutting and hauling fire wood. He is also a fire wood snob with a splitter he pitches Knots into the ditches.

Built mine last year. Casters underneath to help roll around. Two spots for chainsaws and tubes for shovels or rakes. I also added a trailer hitch for the wood splitter.

So nice.

That’s perfect. What are the dimensions of the wood you used to make the saw holders?

I see you used the TSC carry all frame too. I've attached a few pics of the one I built, and here are the links to the YouTube videos showing what the carry can do and how to build it:

Let me know if you find any of the ideas useful.

That looks good! I'm going to have to break down and make one of these!

Side note - do you have any videos or design docs for the overhead extension (carport?) seen in 5 pictures as I see them (view from back of tractor with ladder in carry all)? Looking to extend something from the back of my detached garage to shed my tractor and stuff.

Seems like you have a lot of heavy wood there which means a lot of weight which means reduced carry capacity. That may not matter for larger machines, but could be a deal killer for smaller ones. Sure, we could scale down. But why not use lighter materials to begin with? 2" PVC Electrical conduit and fittings could be used for framing. If sides were needed, there are lightweight perforated panels available. Solid panels and sealants could be used for weather protection of tools that might be left/stored in it.

I don't see where you have anything loaded that needs such a stout box, nor do I see that you have a way to close and lock it or to protect anything from the weather.

I am thinking about a carry-all as a project next year. Unfortunately, for one like the TSC, CountryLine or King Kutter in Canada, I would have to pay at minimum 500 dollars, provided I could even FIND one and get it shipped. I have been to three tractor dealerships and when they made inquiries to their suppliers, they get a Not Available answer. I am going to get a bunch of 3x3 quarter-inch angle iron, and see if mu neighbour can weld it up. The iron will cost about 175, plus the 2 cases of beer for the neighbour.
