IH Made This???????????????

@acem  It would take at least two trips to empty my septic tank.  Minimum size in Iowa is 1,500 gallons.  So, at half scale, that 1400 tank would not empty it with one suck.  And even if only 600 gallon capacity, it would weigh 4500 pounds net.  Do you think the half scale "tractor" would handle it?

I was guessing it held 200-300 gallons. 

Could it handle that much?

Think of it this way. A 2'x2'x4' box is 16 cubic feet. Half scale would be 1'x1'x2'=2 cubic feet.

You are correct.  Half scale would be 25% area and half the length for one eighth volume.  An eighth of 1400 would 175 gallons, so the weight would be about 1300 pounds net.  The "tractor" could probably pull that, but could it stop it?

I am guessing the builder us and old overhead gas barrel for the tank.

Those were right at that 300 gallon mark.

Yes this spreader is fully functional, it was not build to be filled with Poo but as another Implement for play with Cub Cadets, also the IH Spreader is the only one I know of which had a auger full length at bottom of tank to feed the discharge Impeller

Snoopy will pull it if no other could.
