Another hitch rack

admin

Thought I'd share a couple pics.  I put this together last weekend for my brother to use for hauling a lawn mower around.  Wanted to make it easy to get the mower up there so I added the ramps.  The ramps double as the front and back sides of the platform.  The rack can be put in the upright position if he needs to as you can see in the one picture.  I'm also going to make a bike rack that fits into the vertical piece of square tubing on the adapter between the hitch and the rack.The platform is 60" wide by 36" front to back in these pics but I have since cut it down to 27" from front to back.~Brent Attached Images

Reply:Nice unit!Where did you get the channels used for posts in the corners?  Did you slice square tube and bend the edges in, or was this a pre-formed section from the mill?  If from the mill, what should I ask for if I wanted to order some?-MondoMember, AWSLincoln ProMIG 140Lincoln AC TombstoneCraftsman Lathe 12 x 24 c1935Atlas MFC Horizontal MillCraftsman Commercial Lathe 12 x 36 c1970- - - I'll just keep on keepin' on.

Reply:I think you have the record for the biggest rack I've seen. I mean the rack on the back of the truck-I knew what you guys were thinking.
