catkom3 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It was tricky getting the tops off these drums to fill them with concrete but I think it was worth it,do these look ok,or in these days of "designer" front weights do these look naf Regards Joe.

Lord Ferguson Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 no they look ok mate would look good on the back of a loader tractor that's what I was going to say... nice job... put a bar through one and you have a great old school weight block for a little 135 Good thinking that man. and very well executed too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miker Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 used to drive an old ford 7000 with farmhand f12 and that had an oil drum filled with old chains, plough shares and any old heavy lump of metal that would go in it,great idea looks well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 love those, might even try the back end one myself for my loader if thats ok ,how easy was it to make the troug at the top for the concrete finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhysmassey135 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 they look good would also look good as back weights for a loader tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I reckon a fostner bit and a good vice will sort them out on the pillar drill ok... what a cracking idea (nce again)... I'll have a go at one tonight I reckon \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Looks great Joe, as said previously.. they make a good rear weight for a loader tractor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks for all the nice comments lads,looks like I'll need to get a tractor with a loader,need to be a Fendt with "proper" rear hitch to accept the PMA weight frame those drums are sitting on,hopefully I'll have my other two ploughing rigs finished tomorrow Regards Joe PS no workbench,no photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I've tried one tonight... it's quite easy really.. I used a 3/4 inch Fostner bit.... held the barrel firmly in a chuck on my pillar drill... drilled about 15mm down and filled it with PVA and gravel.. If anyone wants any drilled I'll be happy to do so... you'll need the barrels of course, but I am more than happy to drill them out for those without a pillar drill FOR NOTHING of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 your a brave man Marky,I just put a few drops of white wood glue on top of my drums,and sprinkled some rough dust on top Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
