I just bought the 3 point frame at a local tractor supplier. I am going to pick up the treated boards tomorrow and bolt them to the frame.

I am starting out with a frame that looks like this:

And hopefully going to end up with something that looks like these:

My Ford 8N, while old and not very powerful, can lift 800lbs on a frame like this. That should be enough for carting around split wood, tools, fencing materials, stones, etc. Newer and larger tractors can lift something crazy like 2,000lbs +.

The following users say thank you to PorkChopsMmm for this useful post:

We'll see if I can make it look as good as the ones in the pictures. I have big plans for adding removable sides, tie downs, etc. but I just need to get it functional for some work I want to do this weekend.

We have no hills on the homestead, but yes, it would be concerning with a big load in the back and no loader on the front.

Here is my inspiration:

EDIT: updated picture links, I blame KVR's forum software!
