Default Carry all?

Does anyone use one of those receiver mounted carry baskets? Around here we call em Carry all's. Might just be a KY thing. Anyway, looking to get one for the Heep, mostly for firewood, yard/farm work, and hauling assorted large, furry, dead things outta the woods Blood soaked carpet is not cool, neither is the smell of fresh mulch or dirty lawnmowers. Any recommendations? I'm mainly looking at the folding ones, but I dunno how much I trust the hinge...

Any input?

Like this. They also make them that fold up towards the tailgate.

Looks like a good idea as long as your rear springs are in good shape, and you don't throw to much weight on it. That far behind the axle the weight you put into the basket will be multiplied.
