    Built a carry all this year. Haven’t filled it yet but I’m pleased with the overall design. Standard farm store carry-all frame with 2x lumber for a “bed” and an IBC tote for sides.

    Nice firewood storage and tractor! Love to see pictures of your masonry heater also.

    Almost took a shot of the heater last night but I’ve been lazy and the glass is dirty. Will get some shots next time I clean it.

    Bit of a departure from the norm. I needed something like this for residential tree work, but it's a gooder firewood "tractor" as well: 20191216_134551.jpg 20191216_135208.jpg 20191216_135229.jpg 20191216_141730.jpg 20191218_124720.jpg 20191226_135850.jpg

    It'll lift about 1k before its tips.

    Thanks it's a little tank for sure! It's even smaller in person than it looks in the pictures. That white oak stub in the first pics is only 36" for reference.

    The big plus for me is no more dragging brush out of people's back yards. If I had to choose between this and a subcompact tractor I'd choose the mini. Similar lift capacity, super fast on and off, gets into super tight places, etc. But it really won't out work anything bigger than a subcompact. There are bigger mini skids that will though. Another down side to it is it's harder on lawns than a tractor would be.

    The L3710 doing work a couple weeks ago. That oak trunk is 25' long, about 18" at the butt with not much taper. 20191222_124730.jpg 20191227_145636.jpg 20191227_145636.jpg
