Men, wondering your opinions on a 3 point carry all? Thinking about purchasing the frame and building one, and just wondering if any factory ones are better/worse, or if I should weld my own? Looks like most frames are $125-200. It will be for general use fencing, caving, firewood, ect. Thanks

bradyw, My boss and I used this one today gathering sap. We started with a carry all from Northern Tool catalog and expanded it. He has a tank he sticks in there that holds about 120 gallons. Greg

I have a 3 point "pallet fork" that I like to use. I will either use a pallet or I built a pallet like floor that I can carry larger things. This lets you have multiple platforms with your items on it and you can just drop off one and grab the other. I have considered making a metal pallet for it as well.
Reading this post I just remembered that I have a factory built three point carrier that was made long ago. I believe from the color that it might be a Ferguson or a Ford 9N. If my memory serves me right it was called a, station can carrier, and it would have been used on a dairy farm to carry milk cans from the milk house to the platform where the milk truck picked them up and hauled the milk to the creamery.
Some may be a bit light for tasks you may want to do, but any are a handy tool. It was necessary for me to go heavier, and I lucked out with what I found that was also easily modified. I'm going to see about building a woven mesh firewood box, it may be feasible, we handle a perfect material for these at work, even if its a one of due to cost, I can drive in and park with it in my garage.
Seems to me a good set of used fork lift forks and a frame you weld up, with a 3 point hitch arrangement fitted, will make a really nice carry all, make a box that you can just set down. First thing I did with this set was haul all my tools and rigging to a neighboring tree job, set them down near the work area, then pulled away from the pallet, ready for use. Without a loader, these are quite useful for all kinds of things. I have a lighter set as well, much easier to move, 2nd hand agrisupply but just as useful.

Good timing! I just picked one up on Saturday and have been tinkering around with it ever since. I got the $130 from TSC and went to work searching the interwebs for ideas. I took all those, integrated what I wanted and came up with a few of my own, including removable tool totes.
Hi, about 60 yrs ago my dad made a simple set up thus:he got 2 -4x4 about 7' long and cupped out a bit on one end if each just to ride under the axles on our ford 8N it fit the MF35 also. The edges of the 4x4 s sat on the 3pt drawbar pins area with the drawbar in place. He had some 2?6 spiked across the 4x4s. Just used it in level position to carry some small bales to feed young stock or haul tools for fencing or ? Very handy! Ed Will Oliver BC

Thanks for the post, just reminded me that I have one of these in the back of the barn that I need to get out now that I have a tractor big enough to use it. I will try to get some pics this weekend.
