Power Barrow for BCS Grillo and Gravely

oldmech · Mar 14, 2010

I just finish. Turn very tight less 7 ft. Very easy to dump. Very light. Engine torque transfert weigh to tractor So I think could be go with load on very steppy hills. I do not try again with heavy load. 6 cu. ft. and may be 300-400 lbs capacity. Thanks and Good Luck! Oldmech

Looks like another great job.

I don't see any levers like a wheelbarrow to dump the material.

Could you please explain what makes it easy to dump?

O.M.: Thanks for posting your latest triumph. I am new to the small equipment world and have never been a fabricator so I appreciate your work. What will you build next?

I need to move soil and I wondered if you had considered adapting something like

Gravely Tractors - Utility Scoop - StevenChalmers.com

to your grillo. Perhaps you already have the gravely utility scoop for your gravely tractor.

Have you considered adapting a soilmover to your gravely or to your grillo?

see soilmover on High Ridge Tractor Parts

Thanks

Hi! I found some defects on my power barrow. First When go front the empty box go in air by engine torque and side turn over. I add one angle limiter on swivel hitch. Second the 3/4 in. dia. king pin bend with heavy load on very bad ground I go for 1 in. dia. Also I change fork angle from 3 in. (caster) to 4.5 in. (5or 6 in. could better) Less hard to turn with heavy load. I like it ! Turn very short easy to dump. Go anywhere hill uneven ground mud etc.. Load transfert by engine torque is impressive. I use it a lot now. Good luck ! Oldmech
