A 3-point carry all is a versatile tool that can be used to transport a variety of heavy items. Here are some ideas for creating a functional 3-point carry all:
-
Reductionism: The most basic form of a 3-point carry all is a simple frame made from 2×4 wood that is mounted onto the third hole of a standard three point hitch of a lawn tractor, garden tractor, or four-wheeled utility tractor. This frame can be reinforced with a heavy-duty chain to increase its load-bearing capacity.
-
Practicality: To make the carry all more practical, you can add shelves, tool organizers, and a seat to accommodate tools, chain saws, and other heavy items. You can also include a chain saw scabbard, toolbox, or a waterproof container for smaller items.
-
Extension: The ability to extend the carry all will help you to use it as a gun tractor, ammunition carrier, or logs carrier. For example, an 8-footer can be an excellent gun tractor, while an 18-inch-wide carry all can serve as a ammunition carrier on a utility tractor.
-
Adjustability: To make the carry all adaptable to different tasks, you can adjust the height of the arms to accommodate different loads. This will also help to protect the frame and suspension from damage caused by improper lowering.
-
Security: To increase the security of the carry all, you can include a locking pin or padlock that prevents unauthorized access to the contents.
-
Versatility: As a carry all for the tractor and utility vehicle, it can be customized to meet specific needs. For instance, you can add a drawer or a bin to store items such as gloves, flashlights, or seeds, depending on the tasks you perform.
-
Decorative Touch: To make the carry all visually appealing, you can stain or paint it to match the color of your tractor or utility vehicle, or choose a contrasting color to make it stand out against the background.
-
Customization: Another way to personalize the carry all is to create a custom design that meets the specific requirements of your work. This could involve adding handlebars, adjustable seats or additional security features to ensure that the tools stay safe and secure., a 3-point carry all can be a highly functional and versatile addition to any farmer's or contractor's arsenal. Whether you need to transport heavy loads of supplies or equipment, a 3-point carry all will help make light work of any task.
