cadman Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 A couple of years ago I saw a really interesting homemade attachment for a Landlord at the Orange Ma show. It was a wheelbarrow tub mounted to the back of the landlords hitch minus the wheels and framework basically serving as a handy dump or for carry things for you. I didn't have a camera with me and as such I wish I had. Has anyone seen such a thing? or is that tractor here in this group somewhere? Are there any plans or rough drawings kicking around anywhere?
UCD Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Is this what you are talking about. Not very good pictures they were taken at GOTO east in 2004 The tractor belongs to club member oldone
cadman Posted July 2, 2006 Author Posted July 2, 2006 In those pictures it looks like the wheelbarrow tub is in a trailer. The one that I had seen was attached to the tractor on the hitch in the back and would dump with the long handle lift system. Thanks though for the pictures. :)
UCD Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 The tub is mounted on the tractor and there is a tool box in the tub. The trailer is an optical illusion as it is parked right next to it. The set up belongs to club member Oldone, John White Franklinville, New York.
oldone Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 I made it from a junk wheelbarrow thats was out for garabge day. some 1" bar stock with 2 plates welded on it to bolt the tub to. John
cadman Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 Thank You Maynard and John I was looking through my picture archive and found these, I dont remember where they came from. However is this the same show that Maynard sent pictures from?
cadman Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 Oops sorry for the picture format being too wide. That was my first picture post and I am not sure yet how to get them to line up vertical Colin
cadman Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 John, In looking at the various pictures have you used it to carry landscaping materials and will it sort of dump? That is a sweet idea no matter what you use it for :) Colin quote:Originally posted by oldone I made it from a junk wheelbarrow thats was out for garabge day. some 1" bar stock with 2 plates welded on it to bolt the tub to.

UCD Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Same show just different angle than the ones I took. This was the Gathering of the orange show east (GOTOE) in Canadagua NY in 2004.
oldone Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Colin, Yes it does dump. But if you have an armstrong lift liver, it could be hard if you have too much weigth in it.
