    Here's my 17 cuft Huskee from TSC. Had to do a little reinforcing over the years, but it still holds up. I have had a new build in the back of my mind for a few years now, but it hasn't been started yet. I really like the walking axle set-ups.

    Right where I want to be.
    If I load mine well, I can get more than 1/3 of a "face" cord in it.

    Oh no not another Tractor diagnosis and repair, figuring out what is wrong with it is the worst part.
    After a carb clean, a new battery, spark plugs and a new coil mine is running good now

    Well, the shop she took it to supposedly rebuilt the carb, new plugs (after having to helicoil one hole), she put in a new battery, and now when it does start, it backfires and dies in high gear.
    Whole 'nother thread.

    The Brinly 17 is together. Wasn't too bad, but if I didn't have the neighbor here helping me it would have been a pain. Took about an hour. Here are the pics to prove it ;)

    Seems pretty good so far. the tub is a little flimsy, so if it needs it I will add some 3/4 square tubing around the top to strengthen the sides. It's built like most other carts I've seen. It does have grease zerks on the wheel bearings. If you want to call them bearings.
    The 45* tail on the tub I'm not sure about yet. It will probably make dumping a pain as it won't empty out.
    All and all for $299 it is good

    Looking good. Thanks for the picts!!! I'll be that the flimsy plastic tub will last a decade or more. Actually, the slanted back makes dumping easier.

    Pretty much hit it all on the head.
    The tub sides bulge with a good load inside.
    While attempting to grease the zerks, one broke off.
    The tail does make dumping a pain. I just unload by hand. Other than that stuff, it just keeps on ticking.

    the zerks were a little off
    I had to pry the grease gun hose off the one with a claw hammer and it would not go the whole way on the other.
    Yea I was talking to it a little:mad:

    Thanks HDR
    Just got the trailer a couple weeks ago. H&H speedloader 22' 10,000 lb. aluminum electric/hydraulic tilt. I figured go big. It's big enough to do anything I want it to. The wife got a SxS a couple years ago and we didn't have anything to haul the 2 machines. I figure I can haul 2 SxS's and a quad or 2
    And no more stinkin' ramps

    had a Case 60xt skidsteer on it last weekend. 6500 lbs. Really pulls nice.
    it's only 1800 lbs empty, so it is a little bouncy with 10,000 lb suspension. But it's like 8-900 lbs lighter than the steel version.
    The guy that sells them told me to shine it up 0000 steel wool and wd40. it makes the fenders look like stainless . And it's quick. And the water beads up on it
