When I designed and started building the compost toilet, my intention was that it should sit comfortably on the pallet forks I have for my compact tractor so I could move it around. I’ve now reached the stage of wanting to move it so I can finally finish it off and it is indeed possible to slip the forks underneath, lift it up and drive.
Unfortunately, quite where you drive is rather less under control. Despite the 60kg of weights on the front, the toilet very neatly counterbalances the tractor and the front wheels float, barely touching the ground, meaning steering is impossible.
It did try steering using the independent brakes on the rear wheels, but it’s a bit hairy when the front end is in the air 😀
So, instead I have bodged the Mark 1 Dunny Dragger: a pair of 4″ gateposts, some wheelbarrow wheels, 20mm conduit and a few other bits put together to make a trailer to shift it to what will probably now be its final resting place at the edge of the veggie plot where I can finish it and at last start using it.
