Now I can carry it with me

Nice weight bar you got there. I've been thinking of doing something quite similar using weight lifting steel plates. I see them for free sometimes in peoples front yards and wonder what could I use them for. Now I have a use for them and will keep an eye out for more free sets. I can cut and weld the bars vertically and just keep adding 25 pound plates till I had enough on there to keep the rear end down when the bucket is full. Thanks for the pictures and for helping me decide how to make my weight bar.

Can I borrow some of your wrenches? I promise I won't bring them back dirty. LOL

Buy one weight. Trace shape on a large piece of paper. Go to scrap steel yard and buy scrap plate steel. Find someone to cut it on a electric eye burn table. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I know............its alot of trouble but that is what I did. . /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'd have been happier if I'd only buried the stuff in the bucket...I was using the wife's chainsaw (Stihl 017 smaller & handier than my 029) and a propane torch the evening before, left them in the bucket when I was done and was running the bush hog. I scraped down a big ant hill with the bucket, dumped it and proceeded to run it over. when I smelled the gas from the saw, I remembered that I had left it there. Boy, was she mad, it put an end to her chainsaw carving for a while. No matter how I tried, I couldn't convince her that it was her fault. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Been there done that!

OR--

Leave bucket face up and in cold weather the accumulated rain/melted snow is frozen rock solid?

Now you have to light a fire under the bucket to thaw out that mess!
