Looks awesome! It's similar to my frame (but mine's steel and SUPER heavy). I can't wait until I an afford to get an aluminum one made.

What wall thickness did you use?

.120 wall

Dang that seems thin, I'm building one for a 13hp. do you think .120 will be strong enough with it resting on the hitch?

.120 is plenty thick. your not pulling a car.

true, I think I'm going to build one with .083 for myself, if it holds fine it will save my customers some weight

Wow , on a 1.5" square? that won't weight more than 15lbs i think

then maybe you need to work with more steel

I've been wondering. is that tig'd, or mig'd?
