JohnG Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 15 minutes ago, Just Bob said: It's a great idea. Do you have any weight in the rear to counter the weight of the water? My rear tires are liquid filled and I have a ballast box when using my forks for heavy stuff. Yep. Loaded tires and 5’ bush hog (500lb) on the 3pt. I’ve carried 2 filled 55gal barrels on a pallet without issue and could definitely handle more. Since I had to keep the loader higher up with this setup, I was cautious driving down our hill and had it in 4wd, but the rear didn’t lighten up as much as I thought it might. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Water is not That heavy. Crushed granite is about 2-1/2 times as much per cubic foot, if I'm remembering that right. When I put new tires on the back of the John Deere, they sucked 55 gallons of fluid out of each tire, and put it back in the new ones.

Coop Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I gotta ask, how did you open and close the water valve from the seat of your tractor? Neat idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a neighbor that got me into trap shooting back in the early 80's. I got 18 birds on my first try and never cam close to that again. Gave it up after a couple of years because of a growing family and we moved out the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I put new tires on the back of the John Deere, they sucked 55 gallons of fluid out of each tire, and put it back in the new ones. Correct water is ~1700 lbs per cubic yard. Crush rock is close to 2 ton. Bituminous pavement is close to 2.2ton. if you want cubic foot weights divide by 27. All of my maths are based off cubic yard. 15 hours ago, pkinneb said: After 42 years of shooting trap I got my first 25 straight Congrats! Closest I've ever gotten was 23 and that was an accident. I installed some bike mounts to the garage ceiling. I don't have much wall space because I'd rather hang them from the wall but this is honestly easier. Megan can't life the bike on the wall but she can operate these lifts if she ever needs to get her bike down. I also ran to Rockler for some hardware and saw they had Ambrosia maple on sale for $4/BF. I dug through the pile and found some cool pieces and also some with figure. Below are some curly and eye pieces i found. Now to find a project for the wood. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post legenddc Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Not really feeling work today so I decided to take a 10 minute break and clean up the shop some. Somehow that became 30 minutes. I really need a workbench with retractable casters. Trying to use a table top on sawhorses is a major PITA and I can't install my vise on it. I also need some drawer storage so I can find things and avoid flat surface disorder. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
