I like that too! The wood one I linked the video for would be easier for me to do I think given its all wood work. I'm still a very very amateur welder, and only have a small 100amp welder.Tornado, how about this one? Simple, easy to fab.
That is a GREAT HD carryall, much better than mine.
A friend of mine made a carryall from a 175 (?) gallon residential fuel oil tank.Tornado, how about this one? Simple, easy to fab.
The guy in the video posts here on the forums some - Its how I found his channel. He has some nice videos on his channel. But to his carry all, Yes it is very well built. If you watch more of his videos You can quickly tell he is a guy who really takes everything to the finest detail in all he does. If I was to build one I would likely skip a lot of corners. Even on his build there You could modify it a lot to cut down on weight and build time. There are some very basic carry all's you can build from that $169.99 county line frame. If you just threw a floor and permanent sides on it, you could build it in no time and be a fraction of the $1500 for the tool rack. Just a sheet of plywood or a few boards is all it would take.
OK, folks, I pulled the trigger.https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3239000069507568&id=100001928218239

I think when these came up before, some guys were complaining as though the dollars were being taken from their own pockets. I get and respect that; we all have opinions, and that's fine. We all also have different skill levels and time constraints. I get that too.
I assume you don't do any serious logging if you don't need that many accessories.
I have used mine as a man lift knowing that it is not intended to be used as such.Well guess what. They have a front loader Quick Connect Attachment! I'm sure they will never mention the idea of using it as a man lift. In fact I'm sure they will have a safety sticker showing a slash (no) to a man riding on it.
This option makes it a powered scaffolding. Oh, safety police need not warn me of instant death and extreme life changing liability because I have common sense and don't loan my stuff to dumb-asses.
It is tough to find how they are doing this on their web site but you can find many pictures with it on the front. This video shows the Skid Steer Quick Attach plate that is mated to a 3pt Quick Hitch.
I already have one of these. I can probably attach an inexpensive Quick Hitch to it and retain full function of the trailer moving ball mount making it a dual use attachment.
I was hesitant when first seeing this unit because of the high price. With a front loader option I see a lot more versatility and will strongly consider a purchase.
Mine is being delivered this afternoon.I bought one. I talked to Tim, the owner, about the mount for the loader Quick Attach. It basically uses a Titan Skid Steer Quick Attach Plate that is mated to a 3 point Quick Hitch. I mentioned that the ability to use it on the front loader sealed the deal for me and said that he might want to make picks of the unit on the loader a bit easier to find on his website. He took my advise and added several photos of the Bigtoolrack on the loader.I got the orange one without the combo because I already have a QH15. I have the above mentioned Skid Steer QA Ball Mount plate. I plan to buy a cheap 3t Quick Hitch from HF and combine the two into one plate.
I am impressed by the product and Tim. He said the weight specs quoted are very conservative. He talked to me on the phone today and we traded texts over a couple of hours discussing the quick attach ability and options. I have had friends from my oil field days who could fabricate something like this. It would take a dozen hours of many days and iterations. Hours acquiring parts, test fitting etc. For the money Tim is charging for this unit its worth it to me. Even if I had the skills, my time is worth much more to me that what it would take to builds something much uglier and less funcitonal.
Thanks for the info.
