Building a cheap carry all

Building a carry all cheap & simple.png
So one of the handiest attachments on a tractor if your not a real farmer is a carry all and a front loader.
That is directly the reason why i wanted one i drive allot on tight trails where a cart is just not doable.

To build a carry all you first need to know the class of your 3point hitch, most smallish tractors have category 1 or 2.
The width of the carry all should be the same or less then your tractors width.

My dimensions are:
-1.70m width
-1.20m depth
-0.8m height

This is the perfect size if your not carry often heavier things then logs. With dirt/stones, water or hard wood logs you maybe have to make it a bit smaller or not fully load it!

:) nice work!

the hammering was my favorite part! :P

its fun and it often spots a weld that will crack fast :D

ahhhhhhh. i get it now.

Wow, such a great work to be done at home.

I think that a solution like this one is more agile than the usual trailer (I think more agile even than the smallest one)

a trailer is just horrible also for backing up in the forest! Trailer have their place on the roads or at least dirt roads not trails:)

Yes, I see the point! A compact back-up like yours is defintely much portable than the trailer I am used to see on the roads.
I remember when I drove a tractor with a (I guess) 5 meters trailer when I was harvesting peaches at Junior High School, I had so many maneuvers to do to go from one path of peach-trees to another, that it was a nightmare. But it was useful because we could load it up to 2 tons of peaches. That meant half a day of production (more or less)

True every tool has its use :).
Also in Poland in theory I´m not allowed to use a trailer without a separate tractor license.
I only have a normal license up to 3.5 Tons.
