Looks nicely done RB. That looks pretty heavy as it is. What will you be filling it with? Also, curious as to which machine its being used on. Great Job!

I am putting it on a 5525 with a 542 loader. It weighs 425lbs empty and I plan on adding 1300-1500 lbs of concrete blocks to it. (we finished it up last night so i will put the final pics on here later)
