I had a thread last year on the JD Ballast box and filling it with concrete. I am ready to tackle that job but I need some help.
1)I believe portland cement was the heaviest and I needed 5 or 6 94lb bags.
2)Since I have not worked with cement before, do I mix it right in the ballast box, one bag at a time.
3)I remember one poster said I should caulk the inside of the ballast box. I also was told to drill holes where the PCV pipe that I will use to hold tools will come out the bottom. My question is, while pouring the cement, how do I get the PVC to stay where I want it?
4)I have a pallet with wheels on it that can handle 1000 lbs, should I go a little less cement to make sure it is under 1000 lbs? How many bags would be just under 1000 lbs?
Thanks
