Guessing 750 lbs ballast

I guess I'll have to do the same for pins and bolt them to bed frame. Also gonna try to add a 2" receiver to he back.

I used the TSC "drawbar" because it is very sturdy and has many holes in it to fasten your angle iron uprights to make your toplink with. I also fastened my 2inch to it with a piece if 5/8 allthread.

Msamt good job. I have been putting off making one even though I have collected all the parts: plastic 55 gal barrel(check), broken brush hog to steal 3 point hitch(check), 2" receiver(check), pvc for tool holders(check).

Did you actually mix up the 'crete, or just dump it in there a little at a time while adding water? I am going to be pouring a roof on a root cellar soon and maybe I'll have my drum ready by then.

I just dumped in a bit at a time, added water, stirred, pour in more of the mix, a little more water, stir.. Keep on going. It didn't take long, And nothing else to dirty up except a hoe. I probably wouldnt do that if I was pouring for a structure, but for the ballast,.. I figured it would be fine.
