Pretty good way of getting that done from the back of a quad mate.
Does the crane/winch setup come off or fold down easily for clearance under trees or do you just stick to open ground and farm roads?

Knowing BLR it would be set up to do exactly what he wants it to do.

Well, after being side tracked for a while with my hydraulic crane/logsplitter that needed a new and different fuel pump,
I finally got back to the 3pl carry all that I made.
It's now had 3 coats of grey primer (today) which makes it look much better, being a uniform colour.

Next up will be the final top coats of colour.

Might need a fold-up wheely bar too for the heavy critters?

Bent this rack out of pipe, attached to the tray. It's got mounts for shovels, hoes, brushcutter and chainsaw, handwashing water and pump soap as well as a mesh top to stand on to fix tank inlets in the back country or just to throw feeding tubs or whatever in.
The winch is just a hand one for now. Some animals we might dress on the back weigh a few hundred kilos. No, not cows.
Anyone looking at buying a SxS, make damn sure the tipping tray is steel, not a plastic POS. or you can't use it for anything.

If I've posted this before, oh well.
Also, I get permits to cull macropods. Not that anyone with a sane mind would ever want to have to do it. Which reminds me, the Mrs says ours needs reapplying for.

Great job mate. Hope you get a good price for that.

The Caterpillar mercenaries might be paying you a late-night visit shortly though. Unauthorised use of coatings!
