I rebuilt our H&S a little bit at a time over the last couple years. Finished it last spring before spring fieldwork. I replaced the hitch first, welding it up out of new 4" channel iron. The next year I replaced the steel in the front, and fabbed up a new tailgate. The steel for the tailgate was all scrap that was brought home, and the paint was given to me at work, as there wasn't any room in the new flammables cabinet.
Thankfully I don't have to do anymore work on it this spring. The last 2 years we were held back a little bit while I worked on it.
Last fall we rented this monster to help get the job done. Our loader could barely reach over the side, so I tried to park it in a low spot and then it took some finess with the loader to pile it up like that....
Basically hauled 2 1/2x as much per trip over our spreader, which was great going up the road.
