krystolo 504 #29 Posted March 4, 2021 What about a winch/hoist mounted to the back of the tractor? Kind of like Eric's dump cart. Doable? Gotta be careful not to get my hair caught in it. 😂😂😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would also give you the capabilities of lifting/moving things other than the trailer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have similar in a newer plastic version, but neither will dump cleanly and require a dump, forward movement and then some elbow with shovel movement to fully clear the cart. OR! Block the wheels and backup a bit to completely raise the wheels and entire cart up. Works better than a wheelbarrow but still lacking somewhat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,771 #40 Posted March 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, ebinmaine said: You see my video above? The only thing I'd do different is use a flat strap instead of a cable. Yep. I have a Sears with a rear manual hoist for lifting and dragging. Works great! For it to work I have to get out of my seat anyway, what is a few second to crank whille I look at my load? For moving and dumping a LOT of material it's nice to stay seated and go back for more. I needed to move a small hillside and fill in a hollow so I used the CUT FEL and back box blade. On the move I'd load the FEL, then drop the box blade and fill it, drive to the dump site, dump the FEL, drive over it while raising the box blade and repeat. Moved a LOT of material quickly but does every GT owner expect to do that? I think most are just trying to get a notch above a wheelbarrow! Not move a hillside! Man! I spent way too much time with a shovel and wheelbarrow! (Still use them but not often and I don't admit it!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was one idea! Then someone mentioned using a piece of plywood. Push on, push off. Than I thought of plywood with sides to hold more, then sled runners for less resistance, then a dumpable sled. Lol gears were turning! awesome drawing! what materials would you suggest? Would need to be wood. Edited March 5, 2021 by krystolo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tractor has a four pin connector wired near the hitch. Thought I could plug the winch in there! I like to keep my butt in the saddle! 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a matter of fabricating a proper mount. 14 minutes ago, krystolo said: tractor has a four pin connector wired near the hitch. Thought I could plug the winch in there This can be done IIFF you wire the winch through a relay. The little wires feed the relay. The relay's heavy wire side feeds the winch.
