That is interesting way to add weight for winter.... Beats sand bags... and you can still use the bed.

I like the way you have your buildings proportioned.

That plate should be easy to store in the off season - just put it in a corner somewhere and park a piece of equipment on it.

I used to put about 1500# of sand in my old 78 Chevy 2wd for winter use. That thing had plenty of traction with the super skinny Michelin retreads that were on it. I could only get it to spin by putting it in granny gear and popping the clutch. With chains on it was practically unstoppable.

Even though it was a gasser, I miss being able to sit in the engine bay to work on it. The only emissions thing it had was a pcv valve. Ah the good ol' days.
