Mines just a piece of channel and it manages fine, a tube would be infinity better but it was what scrap i had to hand!
Its pushed my 10 (ish) ton fowler roller about 6 miles home up some hills with a 4wd tractor no problem. That was when we broke down!

I didn't really pick up on this until I had welded mine up. I never found out what is the best way to do it but assumed shorter pieces of closely fitting "dowel" hammered in, would be preferable to one continuous slacker fitting rail; the idea being to hold the walls of the tube out than actually incorporate the strength of the wood. Anybody have comments/experience on this?
