Started saving some of these weights off of vibratory equipment at work. The average 16-18 pounds. I can get 10 in a 16” span which will give me around 170-175 pounds. 10 will work great on the front and I’ll probably make up a heavy hitch that will hold two rows on the back giving me close to 350 pounds. The centre hole where they mount to the shaft is 1 3/8” that’s probably how I’ll mount them and I can tighten the bolts down keep them lined up and not rattling. They measure 6” high and 9” across and about an 1 1/2” wide.

Yeah and I discounted them in the past just because they’re small but then the more I get thinking of it even though I probably won’t use any on the front because I do plan on putting the loader on 2 rows will fit nicely doubled up on a heavy hitch, 5 on each side of 2 inch tubing that goes up through the center for a total of 20 at around 350 pounds.
 
We scrap a lot of stuff at work but I wish some of these were in it! Nice score, Jason!
