Great addition to this thread James! That is a really nice looking setup. I like your counterweight, how much of the barrel is filled with what? That's a great idea for storing tools like you do, I especially like the trailer hitch receiver idea!

It is filled with Concrete and of course the steel framework inside up to about 8 or 10 inches from the top. There are 3 PVC tubes for the handle tools, and 2 short 6 inch PVC tubes in the top area to hold 2 chains. There are 2 hooks on the sides, you can throw a 5 gallon bucket on if need be, . I usually keep 3 chains of 20 feet length, and a short 6 foot chain and my "brushgrabber" chain device. I use the 2 inch receiver to haul my 15 gallon sprayer.

Grapples are cool in general. Using the grapple to move brush is definitely fun. It would take forever to get a load like that on the truck by hand. The grapple is a huge times aver.
