Nice job! Just a thought, but if you are concerned with weight, and you are going to use it predominantly for firewood, you could leave like an inch between each board and eliminate at least one board on the bottom and probably 2 on the back because it doesn't really need to be that tall, and you could move the chain saw bracket to the tractor side of it. That will also allow debris to fall through.
Nice carryall, I liked the assembly in the video. Keep up the good work! I did notice that you put the fuel cans on the concrete. I always set them on a board or plywood to keep condensation out of the fuel.
One thing i have seen in research is with smaller tractors, people drill lower bottom 3pt pin holes in the carry all frame to raise the whole thing up a little. Might help when going over uneven ground.
That is a good point. As I’m running into this very issue now with king kutter carry all. The lower pins are at 17-1/2” probably should be more like 10” for my subcompact. It looks like the countyline has two positions... Curious now how high the lower holes are on three cabins unit. It looks to be lifting higher of ground than mine.
I like the carry all you built and it will be very handy around your home, especially during Autumn and Winter to carry your firewood to your house. It is just another tool to be used with your tractor and more tools to be put away when not in use.
I used MDO plywood for my little trailer deck and it has held up in the weather quite well. It is the same thing they make outdoor signs out of. I think I might make one of these for my BX23S as the MDO may be even lighter. Thanks for sharing, this is a great idea!
I know this is an older video, it's Aug 2022 as I type, but my manual says 758 lbs 24" behind the lift arms and 1177 lbs at the lift link ends. Hope this helps someone. Now I need to build my own carryall and test those limits 😉 Edit-manual printed Nov 2020 for 1025E and 1025R. Drawbar hitch load is 2165 lbs max.
smart move with the 5/4" all the ones I see using 2x stuff adds too much unnessecary weight and the strength is the same cause you still relying on the carryall frame strength
@A Tale of Three Cabins I've seen your video a few times but I'm only seeing that you used 4 carriage bolts to hold the whole unit to the frame? Other people are using carriage bolts in every hole. Have you upgraded to put carriage bolts in every hole or are you having any issues with just having four points of attachment to the frame? Even though I've seen your video at least a dozen times you just saved me from making a costly mistake. I was on my way to the hardware store to buy some lumber for my carry all that just arrived and I was following another CZcams or who used 2x10s. Never really thought about how much weight they would be glad I saw yours again so I get the right lumber.
I have 6 bolts, 2 on the bottom platform and 4 up the back side. The wood frame is built lightweight yet independent of the carrryall and bolted on similarly like the bed of a pick up truck.
I need a ballast bad, and i have been thinking about the carryall you made which i could also hall things. So what are your thoughts of also using this as ballast?
It would help, but you would have to load it with something especially when using the loader. Weights are nice, but sooo expensive. I have seen someone use a quick hitch with a shortened barbell on the bottom hooks with 50lb plates on each side. I was kicking myself cause I use to have a bunch of 50lb plates we used in my wife's rear wheel drive car in the winter. I gave them away when we sold the car thinking I didn't need them anymore.
Very clear instructions and suggestion. The best carry all video on YT.
I have one on my 1026r and love it , I use it a lot more than I ever thought I would

You did a great job. Turned out really good! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this, I wasnt aware of the carryall before and you inspired me to build one, now a friend has seen mine and wants one too
Job well done. Love the idea for stowing the chain saw

Great job on the carryall. I never thought that I would use mine as much as I do. Thanks for sharing yours.
Looking good .
Thanks for the video, gave me an idea to make a ballast box for my 1025 r .
Get a rear fork lift kit. You can just make your carryall on a pallet and use the forks for soo much more. One tool for all not just one job.
Thanks that was a great video!!!

Once you move your splitter or trailer from front of vehicle you will avoid backing one forever... Rough on the highway though! Lol.
I made the same one ass you can I reckomend putting a ball and hitch under the carry all to hall the spliter it works good
Nice!
Great video. Could you make a video of how you disabled/bypassed the auto shutoff requiring you to be sitting on the seat to start the tractor?
Mine will start in neutral with no one on the seat, once you shift into gear it'll shut off.
I saw one. Search for "Disable shutoff switch". It involves using a cable tie to keep the button depressed. I think this button is under the seat.

I’m pretty sure the lift capacity of the three point on a 1025r is 1400 lbs. The lift capacity of the loader is 600 lbs.
The manual indicates the lift capacity of the 1025 R 3-point hitch is 681 pounds.
I like your design! (Just out of curiosity, has the treated wood caused any issues with the carry-all rusting? )
None yet in 2 years.
Did you know that a canopy from Rhinohidecanopies.com will mount on your Folded ROPS ! 😎
Don McCoy No, will it help stop me from banging my head into them:)!
Why don't you use your quick Hitch
With all that weight on that small tractor, you need to unfold those rops.
🙄

As always, I learn tricks from you. It would be nice to skip the music tho.
What is weight capacity of the carry all?
1000lbs
