My wheels are filled as well bty.
It is 8 cubic feet 2'x2'x2' within an 1/8 " I am very sure of my measurements ha ha. Like I said earlier it is the weight of the mix + water + the steel involved . The steel is a guess but a very good one I think. The steel plate in the bottom of the unit with 1/8 " holes drilled every 4" around it's perimeter to attach the 1 x 12 boards to this plate alone probably weighs 35-40 pounds.
Then I have a category 1 draw bar in-letted into the wooden box for the lower lift arms to attach to. Then the upright steel for the top link is 2" channel iron 18" tall with steel plate connecting the 2 channel iron sections, two of these back to back with room in between for the top link to fit. This gadget alone probably weighs 20 pounds not counting the Draw bar . And maybe a pound of 7018 rod for good measure ha ha. The metal inside the box is 1/4" galvanized 1" 1/2" steel pipe cut to maybe 30" long each there are 3 of these. Plus misc 1/2 re-bar and other scrap steel for reinforcement .
Oh yes she will be stout!
