Looking good, strong enough for Rottenrua's pumice & rocky ground. You going to add supports between the handle and scoop like the Stavrs have??

The Creek and Lakes R & B here you come! Hope the sand level is still down in Lake R for you.

cheers shilo!yep this thing is solid as an old holden kingswood lol!iv still got to weld some support bars onto the front sides that iv also got extra 2mm steel plate for strenth and a solid 2.5 mm triangle peice is getting welded in behind the pole bracket for strength to!its a little heavy but i guess that just means i wont need a weight belt lol nah its not that heavy haha!
