Hi all,

Any ideas on a good lawn cart for my BX2680? I don't have a loader for it, and most carts I see for sale are junk.

Thanks
Dave

What will you use cart for?
If there’s no FEL, would you want a scoop or forks on the 3 point hitch that doubles as a carrying platform?

MUTS are the gold standard in small, dumping trailers. You are close to MUTS in New York.





I have owned a MUTS for eight years. Bulletproof.

I have shopped POLAR but POLAR does not fully dump, essential feature to me.

POLAR can be purchased from Lowe's, Home Depot or Amazon.

Made my own long time ago since it was a sure way to get what I wanted & needed and it has served us well for close to 30 years!

You looking for dump trailer or just a flat bed? If dump hydraulic or manual? Deere makes some heavy duty steel models that I believe are manual dump.

I have a wagon from www.countrymfg.com A wagon is nice because you can keep it loaded and there is no tongue weight. However you can’t back them up. i put firewood in it and bring it down to house and leave it there. When empty just repeat. A trailer is better for backing but will have tongue weight. When I purchased mine about 2 years ago, I paid $95.00 for shipping to central pa with lift gate service. Takes about an hour to assemble it if I remember correctly. I am happy with the quality. I wasn’t willing to spend the 2500 that some are selling for.

Shown with B26.

I find the little military trailer useful for the farm.
Cost $500
Lunette hitch best for off-roading.
Large wheels for easy rolling.
Surge brakes plus individual manual brakes for each wheel. Real safety feature using trailer. Often disconnect to load with the tractor FEL.
Swing and crank down tongue jack.

Easy transition from truck to tractor. Bring home mulch and use tractor to help place around blueberries and flower beds.
Fill with firewood in the woods with tractor then deliver to family with truck.

Lot of variations the military uses. Took awhile to find one with the features I wanted.

I made my own farm wagon. It doesn't dump but is rated for an awesome load. Started with ten ton Horst running gear and built up from that.

The Muts seem like a solid trailer, but I don't care for the design. That apparatus on the front would be useless to me. If I was going to spend that kind of money I would get a King Kutter 1.5 ton dump.

I really don't need anything fancy or that big. Just don't want flimsy. I would probably just use it for leaves, firewood, garden tools etc. I have a JD 4320 with a loader for the big stuff.
