Little Tool Carrier Handles Smaller Implements
For $620, they'll sell you a light duty Cat. I 3-point cart you can tow behind anything with a drawbar or trailer hitch on it. "You can even use it with horses, so you don't have to go looking for horse drawn machinery," says Jake Blank, owner of I&J.
The cart is made mostly of 3-in. sq. steel tubing that's 3/16 in. thick. It has 4 by 12-in. standard 4-bolt trailer wheels. The tongue swings 18 in. in either direction to make hooking up easier. And it has a mechanical lift, so you don't need hydraulic or electric power to use it. A lever raises and lowers the 3-pt.
"It will handle most Cat. I sized mounted implements," Blank says. "I had a 48-in. tandem disk on it that was just about too much to lift mechanically, though."
He says the cart could be outfitted with a winch or hydraulic cylinder in order to make it easier to use.
