Ballast TC55 Rear Ballast

Thinking about a 55 Gallon Drum filled with Concrete for Ballast on the 3PH. Anyone have an Idea what a Drum of Concrete will way.

If I knew anyone in the MOB , I'm sure they would know the exact weight of a Drum full of Concrete.

Concrete is about 150lbs per cubic feet. 55 gal * 0.13368 cf/gal = 7.3524 cf in a full barrel. So 55 gal of concrete is 1,103 lbs. Add to that the weight of the barrel & mounting hardware say 50 lbs = 1,153 lbs.

Thanks TwinWillows,

I am sure that will be more than enough Ballast.
