Hey GP good rundown on the options for hauling all the things we need around the property. I decided to get the yard rack for my riding lawn mower and it works great. I already had a receiver on my mower so I just hand to plug it in and load everything up. Tim from big tool rack sent me a picture of his mounted on the front of his mower. I'm investigating if that is something I can do with mine. Then I could haul my lawn wagon behind it...Might be a good Option. I'll let you know when I get a chance to check it out. Have a great week, cheers
Hey good afternoon Roy! That's great to hear that it is working out well for you. I will have to ask him to show me that - I am interested to see it. For sure let me know - thanks! Hope you are keeping well and safe. Take good care Roy!
Hi Gord. Nice comparison between the racks. Looks like a warm day you started out in a tshirt. We're going to have a beautiful day tomorrow. Have a good weekend. Alain
LOL. Good morning Alain. Yup - this time of year you are constantly adding and removing layers as the day goes on , as you know. Can't wait till it's just the T-shirt. :)) Take good care!
Hi Gord. I was cutting and splitting wood today and it coat on and off. I will be glad for tshirt weather too. Unfortunately that will bring the black flies.
Good morning GP ! That tool racks are a very nice options for sure !!! We have a lots of rains coming up today and monday !!! Please Sir Take yourself and your family !!! Cheers
Good day Dave! Yes indeed - those rains and winds have been passing through here since early yesterday morning. Winds were so strong it blew down an entire section of my fence at home. Hang on to your hat! Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors Now that is strong winds for sure Sir !!! Keep up the good works GP, that will be a very nice week projects ? All my good spirits is with you GP !!! Cheers
Yup its going to be quite a big job - and a little more complicated because it sits on city property lines. Stay tuned. LOL. never a dull moment! Take care Dave!
Good afternoon Gord, great job with the comparison of the three add on racks you have. They all have a place around your property. Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the good work and videos. You do a great job. Fred.
Morning Gord. I sure like my Yard Rack. I found that I it works on my Bolens HT20 garden tractor too. I usually have it on the L2501 tho. Great info on the differences btwn the models. I gotta get a Land Pride PD15 PHD now since I got to move my fence out about 6 feet this summer. Will get a 9 and 12" auger bit with it. It supports up to a 24". This covid-19 is getting to be a pain. Hope it's over soon. Spent 2hrs this PM doing some brush hogging on our town trail that I maintain. Keeps me out of trouble, LOL. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Cheers!
Good morning and great to hear from you Tim! Happy to hear you are keeping busy through all this. The fence project should be interesting and will keep you occupied for a while, I think. Unfortunately I can't use an auger here - far too much rock so any digging is done by hand. :( Take good care and keep in touch fro time to time. All the best!
How's she goin'? That's a nice addition to your lineup and I can see where it would be very useful around the property!! Thanks for sharing all the various options!!! Take care!!
Great job comparing the options. For now, I am going to stick with my carry-all which I copied from you! I just used it to haul maple sap from the forest to bring back home for boiling. Stay well Gord! Cheers
Another good video Gord. I like the carry all you and Guy built. Store bought things are great but building something yourself puts a smile on your face. You better hurry up and build the shop/garage, it seems to be getting bigger everyday.
Good morning Chris! So true- love what we built together. Yup, the wifey is not too happy with the mess out there. A Garage has to come at some point. Hope you are well Chris!
I would take any one of them GP!! lol I like that Yard Rack!! Nice that it will work on a tratcor or lawnmower! Enjoyed the video! Have a good weekend!!
Yep, dang good comparison plus you were able to get out there, fell a tree, and make some rounds. Now that's how you fill a day, GP. Full watch and weather is looking pretty good up there. Enjoy your Friday and weekend. 👍
Any of those would be a great complement to just about anyone's line of equipment. Being a bit on the frugal side I have a tendency to lean towards self-fabrication, though I agree you have to accept the shortcomings of your design. There's a lot of thought that goes into those Yard Racks. They ALL beat MY carry-all that does double duty as a loader bucket. LOL.
GP- Greetings, you do a wonderful job of explaining things simply and clearly. I really appreciate that, especially if I haven’t had my second cup of coffee yet. Cheers
Great video Gord . I had a look at their website and they sure do have a lot of options to add to the Big Tool Rack and Yard Rack . You said that they sent you some rubber grommets . One would think that would have come with rubber grommets for the price that they are asking . Not trying to be a kill joy but that seems kind of cheap of them . Yard Rack is great for small size equipment as long as you have a 2in receiver . What I don't like is how the Yard Rack jiggles on the tractor . The Big Took Rack is nice and sturdy with the 3 point hitch connection . I have to admit though I love that carry all that you and Guy built . Take care .
Hey good morning Henry! True - I am going to mention that to Tim - it's a good point. Hope you are keeping busy and staying safe. We are into that muddy period now as the ground thaws up here. Not sure whether I should take the chains off or maybe leave them on. It's a bumpy ride on the hard surfaces but ok in the mud. Thanks for the comments this morning - take care and talk again soon!
Hi G.P. boy your videos are really paying off in sponsorship. You're going to need a barn to put all you accessories in. I just noticed the roll around wheels on the big tool rack I must have missed them before. Hope you are doing well I'll see you next video thanks.
LOL. It is getting a little busy here for sure. Yes, the BTR has retractable legs so you can roll it around when it is off the tractor. Thanks for tuning in Ronald. Take good care!
Good day Gp. The great ting is you can share with your neighbours, one for you , one for Guy and one for Bob no fighting over Who career what lol 😂. Have a good weekend
Great video, GP. I think the yard rack looks a little small on the back of your tractor. I think neighbour Bob's idea of using it on the back of the ATV would be a good one. Save the Big Tool Rack for the tractor.
Good day B! I think you are right. The BTR is the right choice for the tractor. I think I was a little eager wanting to try it out. LOL. I liked it - simple and practical. I am sure Bob will be back for it soon. :)) Take care and all the best!
I coordinate with all the new attachments I believe the ultimate tool rack would be a great place to put Bobby into the Stockade and take him out into the forest for extra help
Hey GP nice overview of each. I'm in the process of figuring out what would be best to add into my lineup. Trying to figure out a way to almost combine all three...lol. Looks like that snow is still hanging around for ya up there...hope the warmer temps head your way soon. Stay safe and healthy.
Hey good evening Dan. I see you have the frame to get ready for the build. Yes the snow is fighting hard to stay but hopefully Spring will win and winter will move on. Hope all is well at your camp! Cheers!
I like the carry all myself but that is just me they all work good i have the big tool rack and carry all i did not get nthe yard rack thought it was to small for me
I'm liking the yardrack, and considering it for my zero turn mower. For a tractor for my tree farm, I am about decided upon a Ventrac 4500, which has a 3PH. One question on the BR, is whether the legs are adjustable, or just either up or down? FWIW ,for the money, I still like your homebuilt rig - have you estimated the total weight on it?
Good evening C! A couple of good questions there. Yes indeed - the legs on the BTR are adjustable - I released a video about a month ago showing how they adjust. Which is a practical feature because you drop the legs before you take it off the 3 PH and then wheel it around in your garage or work shed. LOL. Thanks - I love the unit Guy and I built. I have never tried to estimate the weight but my B2601 will lift about 1,150 lbs on the lower lift arms and I have filled it with cherry, maple and ash many times, and as long as I have weight in the front, I am able to drive back through the forest with no problems. If I don't have weight in the front, then I end up popping wheelies when I go over big bumps along the trails. The homebuilt unit will hold about 6/8's of a face cord of split wood. Hope that helps a little. Good luck with your new tractor purchase, and let me know how it goes from time to time. Cheers C!
Hey GP! Great reviews of the tool rack and yard rack. If you ever get an opportunity to trial and review a dual axle dump trailer like the Bosski or Woodland Mills Multilander I think that would be a very interesting video (or short series of videos) to those of us with loader tractors and atvs and property where moving loose materials around is always a challenge. I’m in the market for one, primarily for moving firewood and manure/compost around my farm. Cheers!
From the sound of the motor, seems like you hit a rock somewhere along the way near the third or fourth cut on the main log. I hate when that happens. Spring is coming, we promise.
One thing you did not mention was the cost/price comparison between all three. That alone would sway most folks towards the carry all and adapt that and make it work. Big Tool Rack is way over priced for what it does.
Good day Busman. Good point about considering price. I am sure folks will do their diligence on different options, and manufacturer products available, to compare and decide what makes the best sense for them based on price and value. Certainly an important input for most everyone, I think. Have a great weekend and thanks for tuning in!
Good day EO! I got it from bigtoolrack (dot com). Great light - long lasting battery. I did a review on it about a month ago on the channel. Really happy with it so far. Be well and thanks for tuning in!
Thank you GP. I just ordered and am very excited to get it . Watched your review video , this will come in handy for my Kubota tractor and Polaris ranger and everyday chores. Thank you again.. Be safe and have a great day .
Hello Gord, I have just started a channel with an old truck and my boy, “Gettin’ there Pat F” $200.00 truck what have I gotten into, & 8 year old boy ant the $200.00 truck tire change. Please check these two videos out, and let me know what you think. Thank you

Nice review of options. Thanks Gordon and stay well and safe. Your snow is going fast. ☕️
Cheers! You too, Bob!
Glad to see you used the tractor to pull down the tree, instead of just your muscle! Now we just need you to support your work!
Good morning Pat. LOL. A little bit at a time, I guess. Thanks for watching and for the comment this morning. Have a great weekend!

A lot of options there! Whenever we may think everything was already invented, there are always some ingenious products coming to the market! Thanks!
True Joe! Hope you and the family are keeping well. Winter is still hanging on over here but losing the battle slowly. Take good care my friend!
So glad I have been following your channel! Mine is growing slowly but surely! Thanks for all the inspiration!
By the way, it's sunny with no snow here, but I'm still in long sleeves! :)
Thanks very kindly MCG! Good luck and all the best out there!

@@GPOutdoors You will go through that adversity GP like a real champion !!! Cheers
If that was green (not yellow) I would have them for my tractors in a heartbeat. Great video! Thanks for sharing...
LOL!
I think that if you can build it, then homegrown solutions are best. For the rest of us, the other options are available.
Cheers NH!
Good morning, GP. A good side by side comparison. Beats hauling stuff around in the bucket.
Continue to be safe out there.
Thanks Edward! You too!

I think so - it is getting crowded around here John! LOL! Take good care and enjoy your weekend!
I coordinate with all the new attachments I believe the ultimate tool rack would be a great place to put Bobby into the Stockade and take him out into the forest for extra help
LOL Bob! I will let him know - him and his Huskie. LOL Cheers and all the best Bob!
Nice comparison GP. I to have a homemade carryall but would find the Big Tool rack very useful. Hope that they come down under sometime.
Cheers Mark! Hope you and your family are keeping well!
I'll bet you'll be glad when you can take off those rough riding chains. They really make that tool rack bounce around.
Good morning HR! LOL. More so my kidneys.. :)) Soon I hope. Take care and thanks for watching!

I sure do Brian! It's getting crowded out back. One day. Stay safe and well!
Nice presentation good job
Good video GP I find Canada got stay at home order in place because I watch Bruce Pender channel because he was on his vacation it was cut short
Morning Richard. Yes, indeed. Non essentials are closed and similar practices are in place as with the US. Hope you are keeping well!
When I cut up a tree I cut the branches as I go along the trunk, it keeps the tree off the ground and preventing your chain hitting the ground etc.
Thanks Steve! I can see that would work well in many cases. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe!
Good morning from Allen and Brenda from canada nice have a good day and night
Thanks folks!
I like the carry all myself but that is just me they all work good i have the big tool rack and carry all i did not get nthe yard rack thought it was to small for me
