Handy 3-Pt. Mounted Cargo Carrier

Handy 3-Pt. Mounted Cargo Carrier LIVESTOCK Handling 25-1-3 "I use this tractor-mounted carrier to haul calves, firewood, bales, and anything else you need to carry around the farm," says Henry Berry, Box Elder, S.Dak., about his cargo carrier that mounts on a tractor 3-pt. hitch. The frame of the carrier is made from 3 by 2 1/2-in. square steel tubing with angle iron around the edge of the platform to hold planks for the floor. The 52-in. high sides, made out of steel tubing fitted with wire cattle panels, fit into stake pockets. There's a gate in one corner to load livestock, and you can remove the back û and also the sides, if necessary û to load cargo. "This has become one of the handiest pieces of equipment on our place and it cost only about $260 for materials to put it together," says Berry. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Henry E.
