Yet another carry-all

No, just bolted thru the last board. I won't tow anything with it other than the log splitter or a yard cart. If I was going to pull something more substantial, I'd consider reinforcing it.

Thanks, was just curious as I'm tempted to use it for tools/devices (e.g. vices, lifts) made to use the 2" receiver interface so I can use the carry all as a portable workbench if/when needed.

Think I may go the enforced route since I'm apparently not the only one that would consider reinforcing it for heavier applications.

Nice job, I like it when good things are made out of leftover materials.
I hope it serves you for many years!

I've got the same setup Tartan frame with cedar decking boards.

Recently, another pair of pin holes 5 inches lower down the vertical frame members were drilled using a hole saw. The carry all still rests on the ground when lowered, but it also raises to a height very useful for serving as a lift to feed the splitter. As delivered, the pins were too high for the B7200.

I'm taking a break from using it in that way rigth now. It's Hot out there!

Good idea for more lift. My lower link tips almost touch the ground and since I don't have any attachments with pins that low, it seems like a waste of lift distance. Thought about indexing the spline on the rockshafts a tooth or two to shift the range of motion up to a more useful position but forgot about it until just now.
