Pulling Sulky behind 856

Recommended Posts

FLtractor

Morning, 

 

Came across this on marketplace.. seller about 50 miles round trip.. asking $10.00. Said he’s sat on seat and it’s not rusted through but will need 2 new 4.80/4.00-8 tires. 
Had idea of once I get my 856 driving running again. Would it be a safe or good idea to fix this up, paint it to match 856 and have someone ride on it behind possibly with a tongue extension between the tractor hitch and sulky?

Nice! You may wish to improve the size & placement of the foot rest though...

If I drive extra careful slow and on flat ground… could I put the sulky behind a metal yard wagon that weighs a couple hundreds pounds of steel. Big huge  turf saver tires.  Welded hitch holes for pins on each end and handle on one that pivots the front wheels.. it was a roofing cart used to move materials on buildings.. I could put tractor- roofing cart- sulky. 
Thinking along the lines of having someone help me do yard work, load cart, and just be able to hop off the sulky similar to hangin on back of recycle truck ect

Good points, will have to see in person. Recommendation on what tires I should put on? Such those ones that never go flat

Any 4/4.8-8 tires. Wheelbarrow tires you want to keep the cost down. Be sure to tube them.

Is this what the orginal color scheme would have been? Might have to see about getting one of those seat cover online that fits and looks the same colors

If it were "The Mother-in-Law" seat, the tongue would have been about 4X longer... :ROTF:
