3PH Trash Can Holder

freewookie · Oct 3, 2013

Anyone built something to haul the trash? I have 1/4 mile to take our can down to our dumpster by the main road.

A 3pt carry all would serve you and could be used for other jobs. If you don't want to invest $129, build one with scrap or new metal. Deck it with the material of choice.

How big is can? Can't haul it in back of truck?

If you have cans with a crossbar, a version of this would work, but simpler with a 3tp hitch.

Hi Free Wookie,

We flip our rollover box blade, and put the cans on the blade (it cups upwards like a shallow C) or put the in the bucket, or sometimes on a pallet, depending ofn if the forks are on it or not.

If I had a long drive, I would build a cart as a permanent home for the cans. Park it where you would the cans then just hook up and pull to street. If you have a good garbage man he may even put them back on the cart for you. This way you can use anything to pull it. If you got a box blade on the tractor, you don't have to remove it. If your truck is parked in front of the tractor... use the truck, or you could pull it by hand if need be.

Only thing you would have to worry about would be theft I suppose.

I like that! Wouldn't even need the tractor.

Just throw it in the bucket and pull up and dump it in:laughing:

I would build a pallet to hold the can/s and use pallet forks to haul it.

Another option would be to get a small trailer and pull behind the tractor.

My driveway isn't long enough to justify getting the tractor out, but a few times I've been going by on some other errand and have picked up the trash can(s). I find that if the bucket is fully curled, the trash can sits in it just fine, and as long as I don't go too crazy with the driving, it stays there until the top of the drive.
