air gun ant 1,666 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 As per title really? I like to make things when I can tho lol I was thinking of a 45 gallon drum filled with concrete with a decent bit of bar cast in through the middle? Then I could weld a frame and put a tow hitch etc on but Would it be to heavy? I need to get it in the pickup to get it to the fields but once it's there it can stay there, and it would be dragged behind a quad as we don't have a tractor lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,548 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I've used something similar to what you are describing but it was filled with water not concrete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 That would make transporting it easier? And building it cheaper lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulnix 426 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yep go for water for sure, should be pretty easy to make 45 gallon ones, 45 gallons will be about 450 pounds/205 kilo's, but you not need to fill it right up if you not want full weight. Our tractor balast roller after a time will start to leak around the centre bush but it isn't much of a job to re-weld it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
