My lawn mower isn't big enough to Carry All, but it can Carry Sumpin'!

Capacity: Good for as much as it can carry, every time.

But what is the camera watching?
People standin' around slack-jawed as I maneuver large logs through the woods with ease. :ROFLMAO:

Actually that's pretty true, a smooth-operating Kubota is far easier to operate than a jerky Chinese discount machine. Plus I wrote a log weight calculator thing so I cut logs to "the right size" and don't overload the tractor--does wonders.

It helps me not back into trees or over people, plus see the grapple teeth or what I'm about to mow over.

Yep, you have everything garage holds, but you should be focusing on your task not watching TV!

I was not aware DUB lifestyle extended to tractorin’…that’s a pimped ride fo sho yo😂…however, I think having a camera / display system would sure help in situations. Looks good. 👍 (I think it would be helpful when using front forks, at least for me it would)

Noticed your under panel (battery cover) is not installed, is that intentional?
Yup, in the process of running additional wiring for all the gadgets I stuck to it

That is FAR too much chainsaw! 881?
A large STIHL pole saw on the side rack for tall tops, out back in the box you're looking at a Johnsred for limbing, MS400 for the upper trunk, MS881 for fat bottom girls, and saw support bag. Had a twisty storm snap to cut up late today and put à 41" bar on the 881 and ripped through it from a distance. The g/f and I can smoke a towering maple in a day, using the logs for heat for the winter and limbs for wood chips in the gardens.

And now from Look Ma I Fixed It:

Introducing the Carry Sumpin' More:

20260531_112932.jpg
Now you can carry your tree pullin' cables right on the back!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
The Carry Sumpin' More can also carry your come-along with the optional nail kit! No need to put it in the box, just hang it next to your cable!

Does you saw need attention? NO PROBLEM! Use the top rail for tightening loose chains and refuling:

I like your carrier a lot, been looking to do something similar to mine. Simple, effective, in budget.

Thank you. It's designed to be mondo strong (in case I back into something resilient) while at the same time allowing saw bars to fit through the openings but stuff not fall out. The weight isn't bad and it's easy to remove, but it's not light. I left the saws in the woods and [over-]loaded it with oak, no problem. The uprights on the outside allow for holding long saw bars steady while wrenching on a side cover, holding slippery rake handles upright, plus can carry stuff like a come-along (nail sold separately).

UPDATE

The 2x3s this is built from are inexpensive at a big-box store compared to 2x4s, but I got them from a steel distribution center for free (and building this took a bunch of them). The shortcoming is the free 2x3s are "seconds" and not perfect, but cheap to replace if one splits. The up side is they're thin enough to conveniently fit chainsaw bars out the sides of the box (compared to 2x4s).

Build time was 4-1/2 hours, and I used a male fun--wait, I typed "nail gun." However the sexy neighbor did stop over to see what I was up to, and she was wearing something interesting, so that's probably where 1/2 hour or so was spent. I didn't have a plan and just went for it.

The box is super-strong though does block the rear camera view of the ground, but wow it does a great job! I put chainsaw bars in the vees the uprights create to tighten chains, works awesome and saves a bunch of time because the saws, tools and fuel are right in the box. The one foot high rails are easy to lift stuff over but keep everything contained. There are about 2.5 nail gun loads of 3.5" spikes in it (nailed on opposing angles), so "a lot of them," resulting in no box flex.

The best part is the weight box has 150# of weight in it under the approximately 50# rack, plus with the rack it now carries stuff into the woods in one trip meaning it does two jobs at once. When I move to a new location stuff comes with me because it's in the box, there's no having to make multiple trips carrying it saving time and effort--that's really, really nice.

When carrying by hand cables get heavy on a long hike so I tend not to bring them and have to go back for one or more when needed, which sucks if you bring one and find two are needed. Not any more! I also don't have to go back for a trailer to haul log offcuts (twists and knots between logs that are cut out) as the box carries enough of them to balance out what's in the grapple, so while it doesn't carry "a lot" of 18" "twisty logs" it carries more than what's offcut so there's no wasted wood and no wasted trips to the log deck with a trailer of offcuts.

The Carry Sumpin' turned out to be one of my best accessories. It took time to think through the design when building it, and that investment is paying off in having a more capable product. Highly recommended.
