Looking at youtube today, and thinking of all you lucky tractor owners, I came across these vids and thought there are worth sharing:
Used something like that for years. Smaller tho and on a smaller tractor. No front bucket either so wheelies were common. Ended up building a weight rack in the front. Then I got a free trailer and never looked back. Well, except for backing up.
I have been "building" one of those things for a couple of years. In that regard I am the undisputed champion of procrastination. Another month or so and it might get done and mounted on the tractor. I watch almost all of Mike's YouTube videos (he is a member here as well) and thought his was particularly well put together. I am making mine with removable 'ends' (sides?) so that it is a bit more flexible in what it will carry. Also putting a couple chainsaw scabbards on the back so that I don't have to waste space in the bucket. I have some really tight trails and a trailer is not always the best answer, sometimes I can just barely get the tractor into the area I need to be in. I have access to a small 4x6 dump trailer but don't use it very often unless I need to haul a bunch of branch wood or poles. Hopefully I can get mine done before the leaves fall and post a few pictures of it. With a full load in both the carry-all and my tractor bucket I think I can haul about 1/3 of a cord out of the woods at a time.
I've considered one of those myself! And I also watch that youtube channel on occasion. I did buy one of those Fiskars splitting axes on his recommend and I am quite glad I did! Thing is nice.
