“Queen Carrier” Fitted With Bucket Seats

“Queen Carrier” Fitted With Bucket Seats TRACTORS Miscellaneous “My dad and I built this 3-pt mounted Queen Carrier so that when we go on tractor rides my wife and a friend or 2 of hers can come along They ride in comfort because the cart is equipped with a pair of power bucket seats out of an old Buick minivan ” says Gary Kilburg of Bellevue Iowa He uses a John Deere 3010 tractor to haul the cart which measures 5 1/2 ft long by 5 ft wide and 3 ft high It has plywood sides and a plank floor mounted on an angle iron frame The two power front seats are spaced about 2 ft apart and bolted to the floor Kilburg removed both seats with their power base intact and wired them to the tractor’s battery One of the seats came with a large side-mounted cup holder “I can fold the cup holder out of the way and place a small table between the seats and then put a carry-on stadium seat on top of the table to make room for a third person ” says Kilburg “I mounted a 12-volt cigarette lighter on front of the cart and wired it to the tractor’s battery It serves as a power outlet that can be used to charge cell phones and other 12-volt devices ” The Queen Carrier weighs 756 lbs without any riders “The seats are large so they’re fairly heavy and with 3 riders on back of the cart it can get light up front ” says Kilburg “I have to be careful not to let the clutch out too quickly or the tractor’s front wheels might come off the ground I mounted small caster wheels on the cart’s legs so I can roll the cart by hand into my shed “I enjoy making use of things that would otherwise get thrown away ” notes Kilburg Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Gary Kilburg 30771 Country Lane Bellevue Iowa 52031 ph 563 599-1628; glkilburg@gmail com
