Thanks!Good job, that's the best one that one that I have seen. Especially the receiver and the compartment on top.

Thanks!...Nice box.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to build a BB that heavy for a 4300. I think mine is around 1500lbs 16 80lb bags of concrete plus the metal. It would certainly help with traction when scooping up dirt from a pine and such.
My BB really weighs 1381 lbs... When I was weighing everything, I wrote it all down on paper in my shop and then put it in my notepad on my laptop... I weighed my HF QH, which is 65 lbs., And somehow got mixed up and included that weight!... I need to change it in my signature.

Thanks for the info'!!!You might think about rounding/ smoothing off the top inside edge of the pipes. Sharp edges there seem to wear a groove in the wooden handle of tools as they bounce around, & make 'em weaker. Just a little thing to think about, maybe not a big deal.
Now I know why a couple of them have a ''ring around them''!!!
Yeah, That would be nice!!!... It would be easy for members to find them if they was planning to build a BB!I wish someone would make a sticky on TBN for a one-source complete list of every ballast box idea members have posted. And there people could post pics of their own ballast box, too, so it's all in one thread.
