3-Pt Mounted “Cargo Carrier” MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous “It lets me haul everything from pressure washers to buckets of feed and even calves and riding mowers ” says Israel Wipf Oakville Manitoba about his home-built 3-pt mounted “cargo carrier” He uses it on multiple tractors The carrier measures 6-ft wide by 4-ft deep and has a 3-ft high “backstop” and a floor made from 2 by 8 boards which are bolted to an angle iron frame with self-tapping screws The sides are made from 2-in square tubing The carrier hooks up to the quick-tach mounting brackets on Wipf’s 3-pt hitch He replaced the top link screw on the 3-pt hitch with a hydraulic cylinder allowing him to tilt the carrier down to the ground and level with it without having to get off the tractor A pair of small steel plates bolt on between the cylinder and the quick tach mounting bracket extending the stroke of the cylinder to provide an even greater tilt angle “We use it for a lot of different chores ” says Wipf “It’s the same width as our smaller tractor so it’ll fit through barn doors when carrying buckets of feed We also use it with our pressure washer to wash our house and other buildings and it works perfect for cleaning up around the yard We’ve used it to move push and riding mowers around and to haul calves in calf cages The metal sides make it safe for my son to ride along on it ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Israel Wipf General Delivery Norquay Farms Oakville Manitoba Canada R0H 0Y0 ph 204 871-8181
