I'm going to build a 3 pt cargo carrier for my 8N. Not exactly rocket engineering, but before I waste a good scrap of plywood, or make a something that I'll soon wish I'd made a little differently, maybe you guys have some suggestions or plans for carriers that you've made; i.e., I'd like to learn from your mistakes so that I can be sure that my mistakes are truly patentable originals.

I need to haul the usual firewood, t-posts, misc chain saws, shovels, etc.

Thanks for all ideas (royalties paid in bottles-beer collectable in Central Iowa anytime).

I saw one at an auction with casters. Neat ideal if you dont drag them off.

I don't do alot of hauling but I find my dirt scoop does a fair job. It is not as good as a dedicated carrier but again I don't haul much.

I have a carry-all that you just add a pallet to for multiple uses. My homebuilt has a 72"x54" deck with 36" headboard and I mad this to transport a riding mower on. This is a very handy thing and gets quite a bit if use.
In memory of a dear man let me introduce you to a BAS. Two 3"or4" poles cut from the woodlot. Place over cross drawbar and under axle,secure with wire rope chain etc. with used nails attach 3 to 5 pcs of slab wood. Use this fine modern day implement for one million chores. Hey have fun just use plywood in place of the slab wood.Buck

I'd go for the $49 dollar one from CT, and use it as a pallet carrier, if you need a box, find an apple box, has the pallet built in.

Brent: I made the sides on mine too high to be practical - they are about 2.5 feet. It really cuts down on the utility, but that is also where
my grandson is imprisoned for his tractor rides so I can't cut it back for now. If you aren't hauling precious cargo a foot or even less is a more practical side height.

I've carried kids (at very slow speeds on level ground) in my rear scoop. It's lots of fun for them, except for getting gassed by the rear tailpipe. Am considering changing over to vertical exhaust.

Dave - I've got vertical exhaust. Don't much like it. Catches on tree limbs and puts the outlet too darn close to my ears. I'm pretty sensitive about being around loud noises - lost way too much hearing already, so I generally wear earplugs because of this. Keep your low pipes.

Brent, what you need is called a carry all, sold at most ag/implement dealers. They run anywhere from $75 for a basic frame to $150. for a more deluxe model. Don't really know what the difference is. I went for the basic model, it's predrilled for 2X6's althought I used 7/8 marine plywood to make a box about 4'X4'.

I should have added to my original note, that I do not weld and do not have particularly good access to a welder other than to higher a custom fabrication shop. So, I'd like to make this out of stuff that bolts together for the most part. If some welding would make a dramatic improvement, then I will shell out the bucks, but I'd like to be somewhat cheap...

A light-duty carry-all frame, all welded and drilled ready for your deck lumber, costs $49.95 at my local TSC. I don't think you can make one for that. I've personally hauled 500# of salt sacks on one of these, it's holding up just fine.

HTH,

Nope, I can't for that. I didn't see anything at CT, but I didn't think to ask either. Will have to correct that.

Both stores regularly have sales on these things. I think I paid $59 for mine at CT about a year ago. Mine is a light duty one, but that's light as it relates to farmers and big tractors with catagory II hitches. The unit is designed to handle a 1000 lbs, and it does so with no problems. I've used it to pick my cars up and carry them around, and all sorts of other things. I don't have a box on it yet, because I keep using the tines like a forklift. One of my most expensive impliment purchases (I buy cheap), but well worth it.

As Rod mentioned platform plans are available from N-News. They are called the Wesley Hathaway's Two Position Lift. No welding required...I don't recall the price but it was only a couple dollars. They were in the Autumn 1993 issue. Hope this helps

I DONT KNOW WHERE THEY GET THE 49.95, THE LAST TIME I SAW ONE AT TSC IT WAS 69.OO. (MADE BY KING KUTTER) AT THAT PRICE I WOULD BUY IT RATHER THAN MAKE IT. YOU MIGHT THINK OF A FLAT PALLET WITH SOME OPTIONS TO ADD SOME RACKS TO BUILD IT UP FOR DIFFERENT LOADS. THATS WHAT I PLAN TO DO. I THINK I WILL MAKE A BASIC 1 FT HIGH BOX, THAT I CAN ADD SOME RACKS TO.
I AM USING TREATED 2X4 OR 2X6 FOR THE BOTTOM. I WOULD BOLT THE STUFF ALL TOGETHER. I PROBABLY WILL BUILD MINE 3X4 FT. HAVE FUN
