I had some fun today making a 3 point hitch ballast weight. $10 barrel, $20 receiver trailer hitch, $32 for the 3 point hitch drawbar and almost $60 for (12) 80 pound bags of concrete. The vertical tubing came from a piece of scrap that I salvaged from an old storage rack end that I have had for 40 something years. All the metal parts were welded together before filling it with mixed concrete. Total weight just over 1000 pounds. When it hardens up I'll make the top link section.
