I paged through this subforum some time ago and was impressed over the number of "Steel Prices" topics that appeared through the years.
Well, It's come again.
The neighbor wants me to build him a carry all frame for his 6100 Kabota.
Last summer I bought myself the TSC "CountyLine" offering, and decked in 1X6 cedar. It has come in very handy on back of the B7200.
Well, It takes 20 feet of 3/8" - 3" X3". Angle. That length comes in around 125#. (Finished Commercial unit comes in at 90 # of steel) Local price for new steel is $1.75 /lb. Add sales tax, a pair of Cat 1 pins, a pound of 6013 filler rod, and a rattle can each of primer and paint.
The <$250 asking price from TSC is a no brainer. All I can do for him is encourage him to make the purchase before they are sold out.
