DIY golf cart pick up bed field notes
The new diy
golf cart pick up bed
increased our rear load capacity from 7 buckets to 9.
We've got a few ideas on
squeezing room for more.
1. Haul buckets with sides
removed. Maybe a ratchet strap would hold them in place. Extending the
sides out just a few inches would allow an additional 3. It might
require a post at each end of the back for the ratchet strap to wrap
around.
2. Modify the sides so they
angle outward and maybe go higher up so another layer of buckets can
fit on top of the bottom layer increasing the rear load limit to 24.
That might be too much weight when hauling moist manure or gravel, but
wood chips should be light enough for that much volume.

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible or even a better idea to attach a trailer to your golf cart to bring in supplies. I have a friend, Darrell, who uses his golf cart to go scrapping around town. He has said he's pulled a car trailer loaded down with scrap metal back to his house. I haven't heard of any trailers made for use with golf carts but with the right minds I'm sure one could be made.
love it! (that's it:-)
