I want to find a JD or Kubota box and do this... PVC pipe in the concrete, stone, or sand to hold tools.

The following users say thank you to PorkChopsMmm for this useful post:

You can do the same thing with half a 55 gallon drum, a draw bar, and some welding skills. I just think by the time I got there with parts and metal I would be close in price to a used ballast box.

That guy is crazy -- I think they go for that new. 

If I had scrap steel and could weld I would just make one. I think buying the 3 sets of pins (one top and 2 for the sides), concrete, rebar, and the plywood to make the frame would add up.
