Built this little project for my FIL to haul wood with. He had been using only the bucket on the loader and taking lots of trips. His eyesight is bad and the thought of him backing or maneuvering a trailer around his house seemed unwise. So I built him a 3pt carrier. Can't jackknife it.
I cut him quite a bit of wood to heat and cook with and after Thanksgiving wife and I decided to buy him a 3pt carrier. Went to the typical farm stores and none in our area had one in stock. So I decided to build a quick a dirty one. Should be able to complete it in a day. So three days later (I work slow and decrepit) here is the finished product.
All is made out of scrap metal that came from my farm "iron pile" with the exception of the strips the boards bolt to. That came from the new iron rack. The bolts and screws were new. The boards all came from ones used on concrete forms and other previous projects as well as some crating material that we had some parts shipped in. The handle on the back was new as was the paint. So 95% of the project came from the scrap pile.
I think it turned out decent and my FIL was thrilled. He got my MIL out of her easy chair and had her come outside on the first load to show her all about it.
