I used a 3/4" solid rodWhat did you actually use for your axle? I have a galvanized pipe, but yours appears to run solid.
So do you have a hollow pipe it runs through? How did you attach the 1ft sections together?I used a 3/4" solid rod
In mine I made the concrete a little on the loose side and just tapped it with a hammer but I made mine 4ft solid. I didn't have access to a welder at the time but my bolt togther frame is getting the job done.John
This is by far the best plastic drain pipe cultipacker build I have ever seen. I especially like the "built in 4 sections" aspect and the groove cleaners......very well thought out.
I assume you filled the drain pipe with cement?? How did you make certain that the cement completely filled the ridges in the pipe?? I always figured any hollow areas in the ridges would eventually break out.
I briefly worked for a company that did refractory work and we used concrete vibrators to assure that the refractory material completely filled all areas of the vessel, but I doubt most folks have access to a concrete vibrator??
Yes, its double walled and very strong. been using it for a few years without a single issue. I don't drag race with it.Are you saying the inside of the plastic pipe is smooth? Are the ridges hollow?? If so, how long do you think it will last before the plastic in the hollow ridges breaks and comes apart?
I have an old cultipacker with hollow cast iron wheels and I have one broken wheel due to rocks........can't imagine a hollow plastic ridge would last even one year on my ground.
