Nice custom job! Years ago I took a basic $89 carryall frame and built a platform/head rack from PT 2x6s, similar to the size of yours (minus the extras), for on our sportsmen's club tractor (JD 850 4x4). Even built a set of removable side racks for it. Some time ago "the boys" had a work party and threw out the racks that were leaning against a wall behind a building. Was told later that one wanted to throw the carryall in the dumpster too, because he had no idea what it was for. Someone else decided it was too big to throw away, (what happens when someone organizes a work party and only those who haven't done any tractor work show up, apparently...another time someone threw out the hood to our old B-10 Alice). Sooner throw that thing on the tractor, than monkey with a trailer, most of the time when out on the ground doing work. With the top link shortened and the carryall tilted towards the tractor, things tend not to fall off. When I was a kid, an uncle had one rigged up for his IH Quick Hitch, used it to fix fence with. Plenty of room on there for locust posts, wire, staples, a maul or two and one boy.
