3-Pt Mounted 3-Sided Carry-All Built Out Of Treated Lumber LIVESTOCK Beef A few years ago I built a 3-pt mounted 3-sided carry-all out of treated lumber I use it for a variety of hauling jobs Then two years ago I needed a better way to get newborn calves to my barn in bad weather So I mounted a 6-ft metal gate on back of the carry-all to enclose it The calf rides good and the cow follows right behind as I drive because she can see her calf through the gate I’ve used it to haul calves weighing up to 200 lbs I just back up and get close to the fence then open the gate to create a corral When I first built the carry-all I installed angle iron corners on back to keep the box rigid That helped when I decided to add the gate because I was able to cut the metal hinge pins off the gate and then weld them to one side of the carry-all The other end of the gate is chained shut The gate can be swung diagonally inside the box and chained to a hook to further restrain the calf Dennis Aldred 552 Meadowlark Rd Galax Va 24333
