Well the picture above does say it holds up to 800 pounds of sand, concrete or steel. So it is a little misleading. If it said 800 lbs then fine, but it does sort of indicate it would hold 800 lbs of concrete or sand and it seems the volume is to low to do so. A bit of poor wording in the description.

Exactly, and this thread may help other people who are under the impression they can get 800 pounds of concrete into the box.

HEY YOU ALL!!

this is his second thread, about this titan ballast box...

his first was complaining the sand leaked out box door. i'm pretty sure he deleted it because i cant find it. in it he insisted on sand so that he could travel with the box in his pickup or a moving van........ wtf?!?!? right? and so on i hope someone can link it.


HE's TROLLING YOU

*edit, or a 'tard. he also claimed to be a lawyer in the last thread.

Kind of amazed that a person who calls people "tard" would accuse me of trolling. Accusing me of deleting threads is also a little weird. I don't even know if I can do that. The thread pops up instantly, if you take the time to search.

This is usually a very friendly forum. Don't know what happened here. I don't respond in kind, so don't worry about me starting flame wars.

I never complained about sand leaking out. Second time I have had to explain this, but I guess I can explain it as many times as necessary. Before filling the box, I asked people about ways to prevent it from leaking out. In case anyone wonders about that, a garbage bag between the door and the sand will do it.

Repeating myself yet again, the ad isn't the only problem. People who own the box have claimed they got 800 pounds of concrete into it. That's likely to deceive new buyers (it fooled me), so I felt it was a good idea to let people know the truth. If a 690-pound ballast will work for you, and you don't mind gouged and scraped powder coating, this box will work. In retrospect, I think I should have made a concrete ballast from scratch, as other people have done. The cost is much lower.

Hope this helps people.

Why are you regurgitating stuff we have heard and understood a long time ago?

Because people are making the same remarks over and over, as if they had not read what I said earlier. Unless you're referring to my quoting the word "tard."
