Rear weighting device

[nch583]

Nice pile of hand made weights. When I saw it I was thinking something like those rectangles from a weight machine.

Then... jumped a bit. Perhaps if one had a 2" round bar one could load it up with 20kg or 45lb cast iron free weight discs if one could find them cheap.

This is how it's done! The first three or four piles are driven using an excavator attachment.

I'm not actually sure how they do it now. 40 years ago when they first started, it was all done with a vibratory attachment suspended by a crane, and powered by a standalone engine/hydraulic pump. Some of these sheets are 40' long/tall. It would take a very large excavator to handle those.
