Was looking at ballast box ideas and was thinking the ordinary route of using a 55 gal drum upright with pvc inserted for tool storage or flipping the drum sideways and using just a draw bar.
If I went the second route I found a 32" cat 2 draw bar I could use to still allow the most size for ballast weight going that way. I like the idea of not needing to use the top link & seems like I would have less worry of hanging up since the barrel bottom would be round and could roll some. What do you think, and how much weight would I have if I went this route cutting the drum at 32" filled with concrete?
