I'll get 'em tomorrow, maybe. If I get back there pulling more stumps. Pretty soggy back there at the moment. Took nearly an hour to clean the hundreds of pounds of mud outta the tires before I put the LX in its bedroom. A low spot in my yard isn't low anymore.
When I built my carry-all I got a frame from TSC and put 8 60 lb cinder blocks on the floor and then put a piece of plywood over them. I still have over 3 feet of usable height in the box for other use.
It was in the sled since early November. I could have moved it to the bucket, but since the sled was already in a bit of a state I didn't want to have two things to clean. In addition, the idea was to bring wood back in the sled and the bucket, but I ran out of daylight.Could you just put the carcass in the bucket?
Yeah, that's a pretty decent frame for a carry-all, and certainly has a lot of flexibility. A little grinder work, and you've got a half-decent 3PH fork lift, too. Not very adjustable, but it's designed to go under a standard pallet. I've been eyeballing one of those at TSC for a long time, but it's a bit overkill for what I need for load rating, because I don't carry anything very heavy. One disadvantage is that it's on the opposite end of the tractor from the loader meaning it can't be loaded with the loader. If it were QH compatible, I might consider it just for the convenience of not having to build a frame. Making it SSQA and QH compatible would make it a LOT more useful. I mainly want something to put light tools (axe, chainsaw, pole saw, shovel, hoe, fuel/oil cans) that I can just drop near where I'm working with the tractor when I get there. Without making two trips. I could also leave it behind the BB when I park it in the shed if I'm doing the same work the next day, or just lift the BB enough to not scrape the floor, and drive off without it. Sometimes, I'm just flattening out the mess I make while digging up undergrowth and stumps, and don't need the hand tools. Doesn't need to be heavy, just adequate for hand tools, and quickly attachable or removable without leaving the seat. I've got some sketches done. Just need some more measurements to figure out how much box beam and hardware I'm gonna need.
If you make that, please post pics. That would be ideal for a lot of what I do. Just a light weight box that hooks to the boxblade so I’d still have the blade for counterweight and finish grading with a tool carrier that could be picked up at the shop and dropped at the worksite without a bunch of effort. Depending on the job, I might be running the bucket, forks, or grapple so making a carrier for the loader end of things isn’t ideal at all. The boxblade is more typically on the 3 point.
