Well made some progess:
- Got the barrel, it's steel instead of plastic, beggars can't be choosers
- steel cut, drawbar bought (thanks honey!), installed and welded in with about 100 lbs of various rebar and scrap steel.
- I have 10 bags of ready-mix, I'll buy another tomorrow because the two 3" PVC pipes didn't take up as much room as I originally thought. I also have some broken concrete blocks on site that I'll mix in with tomorrow
When we put it back into the truck, my buddy asked how the heck I was going to get it out; it was a lot heavier than I expected, glad he was there to help. My answer: Simple: I've got a tractor with forks! I'll be careful using it without ballast and have my wife take videos for you guys to quibble over in the next few days or so (assuming, of course, there are no major disasters or even a minor disaster!).
Thanks for the help!
Glad you got it going..I set it up on the gravel driveway and put the concrete in the barrel in place so I could get the 3 pt. on it. I knew I would never be able to move it by myself.
