I have to haul the MX and flail to a job this afternoon/evening so had to wrap up a few things. I got the pallet forks cut down so that the rear of the deck sits flat on the ground. I also managed to get all four bolts through the stake pockets and trailer frame and nuts installed.

I welded up the top flanges of all of the C-channel cross members and will get to the underside later. I finished up all the welding under the deck with the exception of the deck to the frame. I made it much harder for myself by putting the deck plate on before doing all of the vertical up welds. I did a bunch of overhead welds too and am ok with how it turned out.

I don't need the extension to haul the MX and flail but I can put the bucket on and have lots of room to move the load around. I do need to weld on the CURT load leveling hooks at some point but will need to add plate inside the I-beam web area.
