Stein Arb Trolley

[Evan Sussman]

Your most welcome Evan. Don't forget to thank tc ..... his idea in the 1st place.
Hope it works out for you. My name is Craig.

Of course. Thank you @tc262!

I'll post pics when I do it!

Good to make your acquaintance Craig.

this bag from Lowes works well too, the handles stretch just right to hook around the side posts...

Good call on the Lowe's bag, perfect size for smaller loads of stuff.

That looks like a match made in heaven, well almost. $10 and 5 available at our local Lowe's. Good stuff. Thanks for the tip!

Frank it looks as though you've been waxing that puppy.

Lol, never. In fact it has been sitting outside in the rain since I got it.

I loaded five 40 yard containers by hand. Couldn't have done it without the Arbor Trolley.

That's a ton of work no matter which way you go about it.

Looks like a can of sardines! Nice job brother. At one time I had it in me ..... now Id be hard pressed to fill one. At least with efficiency anyway. My hats off to you.

Thanks it took some time I won't lie. My father who is 79 actually did a lot of it himself. He's like a machine, hardest working man I know. He thought I was crazy for spending $700 on the trolley but he came around. The rolloff driver was impressed with how well we packed them, said they slid out like a giant Jenga puzzle.

we packed the dumpsters tight.

Looks very not bad . I'm sponsored by waste management so I can't be caught repping Lowe's . With the bagsters you could break your back trying to load it in a truck without mechanical assist. As I pictured I work semi frequently in insanely landscaped yards with decks and expensive tight shit ,this equels limited mini skid access ..So we fill bagsters which looks to be two Lowe bags full if not more and load with mini into truck by the street.. We plan on mounting one of those northern tool cranes to lift into one of the truck if mini not available. Bolt it down on back of bed crank it up then swing the load into dump. Sometimes we get the entire cleanup of a whole property prune or a few removals into one bag. Couldn't imagine dragging a bag around , the trolley really is the key I've found, and of course actually getting bag in the truck... A ramp could work well I imagine with some m.a. to haul trolley with heavy bag up and in...Oh the possiblities ...

Yep, I have a Bagster. Overloaded that a few times before I got smarter. They hold way more than I can lift or even move at times by hand.

We've got the bigger version of that bag, the one's that you buy sand in from the masonry supplier. Two or three trashcans fit in them, then you can load into the cans and move the whole thing with the mini. Load the cans individually in the truck. Cuts down on trips on those big cleanups in a backyard.

Drill a drain hole in the main tube.

Actually two of the slanting tubes need drain holes, too.





I'd like someone to fab up a mod to turn the AT into a trailer dolly by accepting tow slugs in a hitch tube, allowing swapping out between balls and pintles.

 

[southsoundtree]

I'm thinking about a metal version of this basic concept for ball couplers. Weld a nut in place, swap to the right size ball as needed.

If like to go a step further and make it with hitch tube that will accept slugs instead, allowing a pintle hitch for my 4400 pound chipper that is useful to spin manually 180* at times.

The axle will bear the load, stabilized by the basket.


P.S. the rear tube is at 6.6'of the ground. We load the basket, add PVC sleeve extensions, then as we get to the top of the pipe, we can slide the pipe up another 2'. Chainsaw wrap handles slide over the PVC, and gets held up and cushioned by brush. Rakes on top.

The last idea is simply a notched plywood tray, with a support beneath it. Riser boards will adjust the height. A metal baseplate welded to a nut that fits the shank of the tow ball. Screw in the right size tow ball. Through-bolts through the layers will hold it together.

Only out of pocket cost is a bit of welding, and the base plate.
