Overkill ......you bet that was the entire point ! I wanted it built so heavy that there was no way it could ever be overloaded. It's a 10 ton running gear and actually a little less than 10 ft between axles. The top is roughly 10' long and the axles are probably more like 8-9' apart. 1100 gal. of 11.67# material = 12,837 lbs Plus the weight of wood, tank, pump valves and hose and angle iron I like to build things one time, do it right and to the best of my ability and have it last pretty much forever. I looked at the Co-op design and saw that it was adequate but I still decided to over design every component. Just what I decided to build for "me"....."here" so it probably won't suit anyone else's needs. Comparison pic mine on the left co-op's on the right.
