FINALLY got my ballast box

[snpower]

Been looking for months; found a Craigslist deal for $100.00. Added 3 60 lb. Quickrete bags, a few accessories, threw a coat of rust oleum on it and I am thrilled. Question: is it ok to leave it on the 3pt without something supporting it - I don't want to stress anything of course.

You should let the pressure off of the hydraulics when not in use, you may have to set a cinder block under it if it wont touch the ground. Looks good!

Done! I'll make/get some sort of dolly for it later after the weather warms up.

Nice job. Innovative. I agree with talkng the pressure off the 3-point when not operating.

I love it. Shovel, rake any other thing that has a long handle can slip right in pipes, Right ?

It would look even cooler with an orange paint job! Maybe paint the tubes black....thanks for sharing, it has given me some inspiration for my ballast build.
