I'm about to build a set of weight racks, because of my tractors weight I want to go with aluminum. I have some 1/2 x 4" flat, would this be suitable for front rack? What thickness of aluminum square tubing would be best for wheelie bars? Thanks

The 1/2" X 4" aluminum should be suitable for your front weight bracket as long as it is a high-tensile aluminum....standard strength aluminum will just bend.....as to the tubing for your wheelie bars....it all depends upon the size and weight of the tractor that you are pulling.....2"X 2"X 1/4" should hold up a fairly substantially sized tractor.....I've been through all of this on my pulling tractors, the best advice I can give is to go with overkill....better to be a couple pounds heavier and not have to worry about things breaking going down the track!!.....Tony

I have 1/2" X 4" aluminum weight brackets and it has held up very well. I also have an aluminum rear weight bracket that I can put 2500 pounds on and it doesn't bend. I would recommend it.
