3RRL,
Thanks for the feedback. I did get a return call from the company and spoke to Dan. Most of their customers are using the heavy duty gauges for large farm implements. He suggested that for use with equipment for CUBs that the light duty or standard duty should work fine. He suggested the G-444 which lists for about $ 264, but could be purchased for about $ 160. That price seemed reasonable. Like you said I will still need to get a 15 inch tire and then find a way to mount the gauge wheel to my implement. He said that unit is about 7 1/2 inches wide and almost 16 inches tall so mounting it to my 5 ft Kioti box blade or other implements may be a problem. I asked Dan to send me a more detailed picture with all the demensions for the mounting brackets. I will need to explore this further.
I like your design with the hydraulic cyclinder and how you mounted them and made them so they can be easily switched to different implements. I will take a look at the build thread. May I contact you if I have more questions? Thanks again!
