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.


But methinks (as per the movie Jaws),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ya might need a bigger quad Mate.

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.

The "Old Formula" Caterpillar Yellow brings this project to an end.

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!

Head Frame, 100 x 100 x 8 angle iron
Under floor supports 75 x 75 x 5 angle iron
Under floor supports 50 x 5o x 5 angle iron
Floor 3 mm Checker Plate
Drop in Post sockets (to fit 50x50 posts 60 x 60 x 6 SHS

Head (without drop in posts) 500mm high

Might pay to just check those drop-in post sockets will accept the uprights you tell the customer 50x50 will drop in -
60 x 6 SHS has an internal dim of 48mm, without any clearance.
Even 60 x 5 wouldn't allow 50 box to slide into it, because of the welded internal seam sticking out internally. You'll need at least a mm per side for drop-in fit, with that irregular seam that's in all SHS.

Yeah Mate, after 55 years in the trade I'm a firm advocate of "measure twice and only cut once"

The only mistake I made regarding the drop-in post sockets was when typing the list of materials as above.
The sockets are actually 65 x 65 x 6
So 50 x 50 posts do slip in easily.

So everything fits and works as planned.
