Hello,
I am looking for a small Cat1 CarryAll frame. I have searched here on the forums and online and have not come across what I'm looking for. If i have missed something, very sorry for bothering everyone.
I have a Deere X758 with a Cat1 hitch. Years ago, I had a 425 with Cat0 hitch and built a small carryall out of 2" channel for the main frame and 1" angle for a band around the 5/4" wooden floor. It was great. I could lift a fully loaded 55gal barrel with water. Used it for years. But it left with the 425 about 20 years ago.
Now I want one for my new garden tractor. I've looked at Tractor supply but that one is just too big for a garden tractor. It is 3" angle and pretty heavy even before putting a floor on it. I have "sold out" and moved to town, so I don't have my metal saw and welder any more and would like to just buy a frame and put a floor on it and be done.
If anyone has a lead for something small like this, could you please point me in the right direction? If I can't come up with something, I guess I'll have to beg/borrow some equipment and make it myself. Heck, I'm not even sure why to buy steel from anymore. Most every mom and pop store that carried bulk steel is long gone. Just Lowes and Walmart now...
Thank you again!
Chris
