It is how I use mine but when I have taken it off and leave it outside, it is empty and I cover it with something. Mine is the 500# one and does a pretty darn good job for the money. This is my second year with it and it has been a life saver. It has an agitator that is turned by the PTO. I have to bounce it a little to keep the sand flowing but other then that, it works great.
I have found that I have to fill it 3 times to cover my 1/3 mile driveway and up near my house if I want it all sanded.
I did break the agitator last year shortly after I bought it because the sand I had delivered is straight from the pit and had small rocks in it. However, I haven't had any issues since I started filtering it through the expanded metal.
If you need sand, Sandman, is very reasonable if you live on the north side and good to work with.
I haven't noticed it effecting my center of gravity to any extent that worries me but I don't every side hill with it either.
