I just got a new Kubota tractor for the bush and am I ever loving it. It sure beets a 4 wheeler. Im bringing my fire wood out now with it and Im having fun. Already thinking on how to make a trailer with a tank for sap hauling. well, hope everyone is working hard for next year.

Check out NorthernTool.com and in the search box type carry-on trailer. It is a 3pt hitch wheel less trailer rated fro over 2500lbs and it is big enough to place a 250 gallon tote on it. Works great for firewood too as it dumps too

I would be careful putting a 250gal tank on a 3-point hitch. That is approximately 2000 pounds of sap in that 250 gal tank! Even if the 3-point "carry-all" does handle that kind of weight, your tractor would need to be counter-balanced in the front. Much safer to spend the money and pull in a properly rated trailer.

I agree with sandman unless you have a big tractor like 80 hp I wouldn't do.
