Three-Wheeled ęGarden Hauler' FARM HOME Miscellaneous 25-6-35 I have an extra large garden where I grow a lot of potatoes. To haul them around I built what I call a three-wheeled ęgarden hauler'.
The machine's cargo box is 3 by 8 ft. long by 8 in. deep, with a perforated floor and an endgate on front. It mounts on the frame of an old Allis Chalmers garden tractor. Power is supplied by a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton gas engine which mounts under the box.
There are two large drive wheels in front, and a single 8-in. high castor wheel on back. To drive the rig I stand on metal steps located just behind the castor wheel. I use the tractor's original throttle lever to control the speed, and a homemade traction lever to stop. I also use the machine for all sorts of jobs.
