My carry all project

[DonT-B7500]

About 10 yrs ago I built a class III receiver carrier for my pickup , I used the frame from an old mainframe computer that I cut down to size, the problem was it was way to heavy, close to 200lbs empty. Well I welded some angle iron to the bottom and a mast and now it's my 3pt carryall. with its weight and sides it also doubles as ballast for my loader. I'm going to add more of a side so shovels, rakes and other tools will stay in better. Also you may notice the rotating channel on the back, that is one of the best things you can add if you have kids. What it is, is a trampoline mover, just back up under the tramp, lift the 3pt and you can then move it around easily for cutting grass, since it's just 2 pipes inside each other and swivels you can back up with it just like a trailer, I also made a bracket that goes on my drawbar for when I dont have the carryall mounted.

The trampoline attachment is great! I thought I was the only one fighting that thing when it came time to mow. I've been backing up to the cross brace of the legs and lifting it onto my TPH arms, raise the arms then carefully move the trampoline and get frustrated when it pops off the arms. That's such a simple idea I don't know why I didn't think of it. Thanks for posting the simple stuff! I'm going to build me one!

Very interesting. I do something similiar. I put my hitch rack into the hitch on my 3pt hitch. I lay a slab of plywood on top, and it doubles as a great work-bench.
