- This is Part 1 of 2 on the versatile carry all I built for my Kubota tractor. I’ll show you what this carry all can do in this video.
Stay tuned for part 2 of this series, where I’ll show you how to build this carry all. The build video will take a lot of effort to put together, so if you would like to see part 2 sooner rather than later, let me know in the comments.
Here's the inspiration for my carry all design:

I'm SOLD! LOL! You know DIY, I thought your other videos were really good but you just knocked it out of the park on this one! Fantastic job! Really nice build on the carry all. I like that you covered a wide range of tools! You have a good one! really nice job!
Thank you very much, John! If you know anyone else that would be interested in this carry all please share the video with them. The build video is in the works.
Just stumbled upon this.
I own a BX23s and something like this is what I have been missing. My backhoe stays in storage and only comes out when needed, so this will be perfect.
Thank you for this video.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
You drive a Ford and a Kubota and you like to build stuff. Yep, we've got a few common interests. You were right. Nice quality work!!
Yep. I don’t think you can go wrong with a Ford truck or a Kubota tractor. Been very pleased with both. Thanks!
Good Lord! Somebody is having some fun. This dude doesn't take any shortcuts. Very creative and thoroughly engineered.
I need to build one ASAP!
Looks like a spring project.
Yes indeed, carryalls are SO useful. It will make a great spring project. Thanks for watching!
I just finalized the purchase of a 35 hp kioti tractor and found your site. THANK YOU for so many valuable ideas!
Congrats on your new tractor purchase! I'm very glad you find my videos helpful!
So I followed the plans which are great... I’m using the tractor supply frame ( county) and the quick hitch from tractor supply. Thereby hangs a tale...."the hooks on the quick hitch foul the back boards on the frame by about 1/4 inch. Grind of the hooks... move the pins. Or put a spacer on the down supports it’s all a learning curve
Hi Martin! I like your first name! Can you guess why? I’ve heard others say a QH is a tight fit between the pins and backboards of the carry all. A spacer strip on the down supports is probably the easiest fix if your still in the building phase. If you are handy at metalworking, you could weld some tabs on the frame to extend the pins away from the backboard. Another fix is to route out an area on the boards near the pins by about 1/2” deep to get your clearance. Good luck finishing your build and thanks for watching!
Stay tuned for part 2 of this series, where I’ll show you how to build this carry all. The build video will take a lot of effort to put together, so if you would like to see part 2 sooner rather than later, let me know in the comments.
Thanks for the carryall preview. Can’t wait for part 2. Also thanks for introducing me to the Pat’s Easy Change Change System. I bought a set and will be installing them this weekend.
Part 2 should be out Sunday or Monday if all goes well. Glad to hear you got the Pat's Easy Change System. Here's a tip: They use two nuts on each side of the u-bolts, one as a "jam nut". They will come loose and fall off after a while. I replaced the "jam" nuts with nylock locking nuts and haven't had to worry about it since.
Thanks for the nylon locking nut tip, and for taking the time to make these great videos.
You’re welcome! I’m trying to grow the channel so please share my channel with anyone you think might be interested. Thanks for watching!
The hinged sides are such a smart touch. Box when you need it, and flat bottom for hauling long suff.
That's just too cool !! I think 'versatile' is an understatement. I can see how that would be an awesome accessory to just about anyone's tractor. Great job and as always, awesome narration and the description of the nooks and crannies lacked nothing. Keep up the good work and produce #2 at your convenience. I know life is busy for us all.
Thank you for those kind words, sir! I have another one in the pipeline first then Part 2 of this. Please share this video with anyone you think might be interested.
DIY My Way I certainly will do that. Something thought out as well as this just screams to be shared.
Thank you, sir!
If you added 4 legs that extend up or down, you would have the "big tool rack" that sells for $1,400.
I like yours better. Great job planning that out. I did the same thing for the front using pallet forks.
Thank you and thanks for watching! I hope you'll consider subscribing!
I’m going to build one for my L series. I will be using your plans! Best carryall I’ve seen! Thank you sir
Thanks for watching, Danny! Good luck with your carry all build!
Love the design! I had to flip the hitch receiver and put in on the top. I go out into the woods to get firewood and when it got stuck on rocks. With it on top it works fine. Thank you!
Glad you do! Thanks for watching!
One of those carry all's came on my property when I bought it. I'll be adding wood sides to it soon. Good job.
Thank you!
Stole my thunder and slapped me with it. I made one with almost the exact same design...until you get to the tailgate and the "wait, there's more" additions. Beautiful job! Good news is I can always go back and amend mine to incorporate some of your features.
😀
“Slapped me with it”. LOL! I like that! Great minds think alike. Glad you found some of my ideas useful for enhancing your carryall. Thanks for watching!
I just built one of theses today and I wasn’t sure what to do for my sides. Now I think I know.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, great videos can't wait for part 2 !!!
Great multi faceted design.
Thank you, Sunday! And thanks for watching!
Martin this has to be the premier versatile tractor carryall! An idea to make it even more versatile would be to add a shelf about halfway up that could be removed. Looking forward to the build portion of the series. Thanks, Tim @ Cliffside Acres
Thank you, Tim! That’s a good idea and it would be pretty easy to do.
Great idea! Will be making mine shortly
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Good morning DIY! That is a really well thought out and practical design. Love the unit. The collapsable sides is very handy and you have a place for every tool and every tool in it's place, as the old principle goes. Looking forward to the build videos. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!
Thank you, GP! Hope you have a wonderful week too!
Looks like that will come in handy. Looking forward to part 2. Later
Thanks, Mech!
I saw this a while back, finally got the stuff to make me one this weekend. Thanks for posting this
My pleasure! Good luck with your carryall build!
Thanks Martin for sharing with us. This is one versatile carry all. I think I'll soon make one. But so much projects at the same time. When you took the vertical 2x4, I was wondering if it would transform to a pergola! Lol! Seriously, this is great for ladder transportation.
Thanks for watching, Joe. Pergola! LOL! Now that’s idea I didn’t think of. Have a great evening!
I saw you look for the snake, before you got behind it. LOL We an abundance of copperheads here.
Excellent! I have the steel frame built now and I am going to try to use a lot of the features you have explained. I really like the tail gate planks that also can be used as a work bench. Thank-you, Sir.
Good evening Sir ! Now i realise that in the middle of winter is warm outside for you !!! LOL Very nice and beautiful built Carry All Sir you are a very good builder !!! Cheers !!!
Thanks Dave! I appreciate that!
Thanks excellent job
This is a really cool project, but I'm scratching my head on using this vs a cart attached to the draw bar for most things I'd need to haul around. Great design. Right now I just use my loader and cart to haul stuff around.
You certainly can use a cart, but the main advantages of a carryall is maneuverability and the ability to sit the carry-all on the ground so heavy loads can be rolled or slid onto to it. Thanks for watching!
Just found your Video and Subscribed. I really need on of these Carry All's. Thank you.
Thank you for subscribing, beefan! Yep, a carry all is such a handy implement. I use mine often. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a very well thought out carry all. Nice job.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thanks - just what I need-
Glad it was helpful to you! Thanks for watching!
Great build. Bring on Part II!
Thanks, Preston! I'm working on it. A couple more videos are in the cue ahead of it but it is well underway.
You did such a great job. Really thinking ahead. If I had a slab I’d make mine like this.
Thanks Kevin!
Really nicely done, DIY. Now that carry-all is super versatile. I should have seen your video before throwing mine together. Love it. 👍
Hi Houndsman. Thanks for those kind words!
That...is handier than a third leg in a butt-kicking contest! I subscribed immediately. Got to build one of these.
Hi William! LOL! I haven't heard that one before. Thanks for watching & subscribing! Yes, I use my carryall a LOT and have loved. It's one of the cheapest and most versatile implements you can have. You may also like my tractor mod videos, if you're needing LED lights, chain boxes, tool boxes and chainsaw scabbards on your tractor.
@@DIYMyWay Brother, that all sounds right up my alley. My old MF135 needs a few things. Thank you for sharing! 👍🏻
This is awesome!!! I have a portable sawmill and need to haul both tools and sawmill at once instead of taking 2 trips even with my bucket its just not as good as this. Only thing I would change is .... I wouldnt bolt the the 2" receiver into the wood, I would weld a 2" box tube between the 2 side frames and attach my hitch to that. That way if I need to skid a log I wont have to detach the carry all. But you did a great job! I am going to make one now lol
Thanks, Richard! I recommend you watch Part 2. Then you’ll see that the receiver isn’t just bolted to the wood. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for such detailed and inspiring videos. It’s clear you put a lot of thought and effort into creating a quality product. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind and encouraging words, Andy! I really appreciate it!
How's she goin'? The carry all is a very useful attachment. You have yours set up and modded out pretty good. Lots of good ideas that I'll investigate to see if I can add them to mine!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I'm looking forward to building episode!!!
Thanks, Grampie! Part 2 is in the works. Please share this video with any you think might be interested.
An easy solution for the dolly would be an insert for the hitch. Also, 3/16 Lynch pins are a great replacement for the spring pins in the hitch.
That would be a fairly easy solution now that I have a welder, but not when I built it. Good idea about the 3/16” lynchpins! Thanks for watching!
Heyhey That is the best carry all design I have seen, Very nice.
Thank you, sir!
That’s pretty awesome!!
Great stuff, thanks for the post.
Oh man! I want one made by you. What an amazing carry all you built.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. That is the most versatile carryall design I've seen. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you, Terry! And thanks for subscribing to my channel!
*You did a really good job!* Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thanks Mototzeit! And thanks for watching!
This is the best custom carryall I've seen. I'm going to adapt mine to add some of your features. Well done. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you Mountain Green for commenting and subscribing!
Just saw that you are a Kubota owner and have a channel. Now you have a new subscriber too!
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Steven!
Looks awesome!
Well thought out.Nice build. Later
Yes I want to build one like this as it will also work on my front forks
That is true and I forgot to mention that. The way it's built, you can slide forks right under it easily. You'll see this more clearly in the build video.
great design. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching! Please share it with anyone else you think might be interested.
Really enjoyed your construction to the point that I built mine this winter, and it works great except I got one problem...where did you get the brackets for your removable end gate??
Hi Larry! I got them from Amazon. There’s a link to the companion DIY My Way website post in the video description. That has a link to the bed frame claws you need. Thanks for watching!
Gah dang. I was getting ready to head to the store cause I've come to the conclusion a carry-all is becoming a must needed item for my home. So I really appreciate the video and very thorough details.
Just the County line rack, lumber, carriage bolts & hardware, hinges & latches come to a lovely total of $720 in the 2022 market. This includes nothing else from your amazing materials list. Literally just the items mentioned in my post here. This is yet another item I can't bring myself to use up funds for. I'm getting more and more depressed every week that I just sit by to try to save for something like this but funds have to get used on groceries, taxes, fuel, and health. I'm not sure I can afford to keep living at this rate. LOL. Rant over.
Hi Chris! Yes, lumber prices are still obscene! With cost of everything up so much, projects like this are very costly now. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks!
I noticed the rating on the carry all is listed as 1,000 lbs. After your build do you have an idea of the carrying capacity? Great video.
I’d guess it’s between 800 and 900 pounds. Thanks for watching!
i love it! why not permanently attach the caster wheels to the bottom?
Because even at full 3-point height, they'd be ripped off the first time I took the tractor across a ditch or swale. I have bottomed out the carry all a couple of time already without casters. Thanks for watching!
Pretty much followed your plan except I didnt need a dolly as I used the Quick Hitch carryall. I can pick up or drop off the carryall from my seat. Turned out very nice. Love the video. Where do I send a pic?
Awesome, TennCutty! You can send pics to martin@diymyway.net. Looking forward to seeing it!
Nice project
Great article
I'm halfway done; the tailgate that transforms into a workbench is going to be great for sharpening the chainsaw.
Awesome! You've gotten right on the project! Yes, having the tailgate panels as a field workbench is really convenient, especially for sharpening a chainsaw. You might like my portable chainsaw sharpening station video interesting: ua-cam.com/video/cSm-MHqzQms/v-deo.html
Looking forward to seeing pictures of your final masterpiece!
Genius! Well done sir!
Thank you kindly, Ken!
I like it.
Nice setup. I will be watching the build video. Thanks for coming over to my channel and watching. Sorry, I have been so busy this summer. Subbed, liked and full watch. Nice job on the videos. I need to spend more time editing and narrating like you do. What are you using for editing software.
Thanks for sharing!
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin! I use Corel Video Studio Ultimate on a Windows PC and Audacity for recording the narration parts. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done.
Why not just mount casters on the bottom of the box?
Thanks! Because when it’s off the tractor I don’t want it to roll except when I want it to roll. Also, I know if they were attached, they would get ripped off the carry all going over the rough terrain I have. Thanks for watching!
sooner please😁
I released part 2 3 years ago. Is that soon enough? 🙂 Thanks for watching!
Great Job Wilson....about how much cost to build this one?
Hi Mitchell! I really don’t remember at the moment, but you can download the materials list from the link in the description and price everything out based on what they cost now. Thanks for watching! Martin
Part two sooner please
Hi James! I released Part 2 three years ago. Is that soon enough? LOL! Thanks for watching!
You sound like Richard Proenneke in the PBS special One Man’s Wilderness. Watch it.
A lot of people have said that so it must be true. Oh, and I have watched segments of it. Thanks for watching!
Great carry all. Where did you get the quick release adapters for your 3 point hitch?
Hi Gary! They are Pat's the Easy Change system. I got them on Amazon. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U00AUNW/. So far they have been great and work with all implements instead of just Quick Hitch compatible. There doesn't appear to be a true Quick Hitch standard because a lot of people find themselves having to adapt their "quick hitch compatible" implements to work with their quick hitchs or vise versa. Thanks for watching! I hope you'll subscribe if you haven't already.
@@DIYMyWay thank you for the info.
You’re welcome.
Outstanding! You could pretty much just mount some caster wheels on it permanently. Not super likely they'd get harmed or damaged in transit.
Thank you, Ground Control! No, the casters, especially the rear ones wouldn’t last a Day on my property. I’ve bottomed it out several times and that’s with the 3 point all the way up. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the brackets that hold the tail gate? What are they called? Very cool feature.
Hi Richard! I got them from Amazon. This is covered in Part 2. You may be surprised to find out what they are. Thanks for watching!
Very cool, I love it👍
Thanks, Frank!
DIY My Way I think you’re video are awesome ....
nice!
Very slick.. The only thing your carry-all is missing is a vice to sharpen your chainsaw. >G< Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Actually I take my portable chainsaw sharpening station in the field (See previous video for details.)
awesome!!
Great job! You need to be in product design.
Thanks, Mikah!
I put the wheels directly on my carry all.
You forgot the beer!
What size top link are you using? (Length)
I’ll check but I think it goes from 19” to 28”. Thanks for watching!
Excellent carry all. This is exactly what I could use. This does more than what I expected when I first saw a picture of it in your channel trailer. Great design. Looking forward to part 2. Do you have a drawing and material list I can purchase from you?
Thanks Chris! No, not yet, but if enough people ask I probably will. Don’t know if I would charge for it or not.
I would be willing to pay you a few bucks as your design would save me time from having to do it myself. By the way, what is your name?
I appreciate that, Chris. It would take a bit of effort to do, but hold that thought. The build video is pretty detailed. Wait and see if it’s enough then let me know. Please feel free to share this video with anyone else you think might be interested. My name it Martin, BTW. Have a good evening!
Do you have a dry weight?
I'd guess it's between 150 and 200 pounds. Thanks for watching!
when will you be completing your pool house?
Interesting question to ask on this video. I’m actually way further along than the last video on it shows. I just don’t post the pool house videos often because of low views, so I use them for filler videos if I have nothing else in the pipe line. I just have to finish installing soffit and eave panels, finish trim and paint on the porch section, then finish out the interior, which we are already using. Thanks for watching!
What is the total build cost?
I didn’t keep track and it would matter anyway because the price of everything (especially lumber) has gone up so much. But you can download the materials list from the companion webpage to the video (link in the video description) and calculate the cost. Thanks for watching!
Costs ~$600 for materials today. Better than $2k for big rack
Add that 2nd video
I did. Two years ago.
Me watching this in 2021 and seeing all the wood and thinking that has to cost at-least $500
You are probably right! Lumber prices are ridiculous these days! Thanks for watching!
Awesome. That has to be the most versatile carry -all that i have ever seen. Now I’m going to have to do some mods to mine. I really lime the idea of the fold in sides and the tailgate doubling as a work bench. Very well thought out. I dont want to thank you for sharing this until i see how much💰💰💰💰 it’s going to cost me to modify mine. I need to stop watching you for a while or I’m gonna go broke hahah.
Now on to the next video
Thanks, Matthew! I’m always glad to help people part with their 💰 💰💰💰! Thanks for watching!
