A green and yellow machine followed me home today

[SRG]

Yes SRG, I've had one now for a couple years and it works great. Very easy to install, just 2 bolts. Just do a search for it on the forums here, lots of talk about them. It's a must to post pic's if you get one, lol.

Here's one for example

Thanks.
I definitely like the pricing of it compared to some other brands/models. I have it on my short list.

I'm in the process of making a ballast box now. It's going to be 36" tall by 30" wide by 18" deep. The frame is 1/4" by 3" galvanized angle steel. I'm going to frame the steel structure with wood, fill it with concrete, let it set and then remove the wood, so only the steel box is left.
According to online concrete calculators, I can fill it with 25, 60lb bags of sakrete. Lol.
I think I'm going to use 16-18 bags so it will weight about 1100lbs when said and done.

Take pictures of that as you go if you can, I think a few people hear including myself would be interested in how it's done.

Yeah, sure, i can take some pics. It's not going to be fancy, just using 'scrap' that i have around.

Congratulations! That's a rock solid model.

I think I should consult you before my next tractor purchase, to find out if you make some of those sweet stabilizer links for it.

Finished the bottom section of the ballast box frame. There will be one identical to this for the top and then four uprights, one at each corner, all from the same angle steel.

Nothing special....
