Nice pics and a great idea! I love redneck ingenuity! Forgive me if you don't consider yourself a redneck - I embrace the term.

Being here in Nashville, redneck can be a compliment. :laughing:

Nice job! That's a great idea and also helps ballast too! I don't see redneck as a bad thing, i also embrace that term

Tractor attachments cost sooooo much money. For a lift like those wood bars, it would be about $300 or more in steel. My wood was FREE from Lowes or Tractor Supply and the carriage bolts, washer and nuts were less than $3.
I can toss a plank or two across the boards for a platform to haul tools or whatever as well. Or use it as a lift to stand on to trim trees.
I'm not a welder nor a machinist, but I try to be creative enough to save money. Hope others out there can glean from this too.
