[QUOTE="Subsoil, post: 842010, member: 1099"] The one's I've built use either four 7" pipes or six 5.5" pipes for the main supports and 2 7/8" drill stem for the cross pipes spaced at 5 inches. I put the main beams where the treads of the vehicles are rather than just spacing them equal distances across the full width like some do. To attach the drill stem to the load bearing pipes, I use 3" long pieces of 1 x 1 x 1/8" angle iron. Make a good weld to the drill stem and then take a hammer and bend it around the 7" or 5.5" pipe and you have two solid welds that are easy to get to with full coverage and no gaps. Welding pipe to pipe is much harder with less actual surface welded. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
