[Shop-talk] Snowplow counter weight- the results

[eric at megageek.com]

Friends,

After the discussion here on the counterweight for the dump truck, this is 
what I came up with.

it was free and really 'rocks'!  8>)

(Note, it's placed at the back of the truck bed, the other pallets prevent 
it from shifting and should provide absorption should I hit something 
solid.  I make stack some more on top of the empty pallet to provide more 
protection.

Now, how much do you think it weighs?  (I'm guessing about 1000lbs to 
1200lbs)
