In cases like that, use a stainless rod. Stainless will weld any ferrous metal to any other ferrous metal.I have found its the only way to attach things to my KV plough,6013 rods change the structure to something resembling cast iron, and the bits fall off!This has to be one of the worst things ive ever had to weld, trying to weld poor quality 1940s steel (if you could even call it that) to a much younger wheel rim. Mate tried it with mig, just wouldnt weld at all, farted and fizzed but couldnt make a bead, it just spat back all the time. We finally managed to fit them in though, and no they havent broke either

We
Sold that trailer ages ago...it was carrying 4/5 tonnes that harvest and they didnt give. But they were welded both sides, not like normal trailer wheels

I'm in the planning stage trying to source gearboxes etc at a good price to build a lime spreader. So much stuff needed, 10 stud axle, 28.1x26 wheel and tyre , new steel for the chassis and hopper frame, lot of it going to be the scrap heap challenge, hope I get to say "proper job"

Very smart. I know what it's for, but what specifically? Boggy grass land?

Originally it was built for early fert on winter cereal, but have some wet meadow grassland as well. Also have the idea it will be handy for chasing cows round padocks, always a pain having to hook something awkward off tractor to sow fert so usually wait on a few paddocks, this can go in a few minutes.
5+ yrs ago i could sow my ground most times of the year with the tractor and sower but of late im having to do it with a quad and sower, we seem to be front line defense here when it comes to the rain, there has been that much of it in the last 2 yrs i dont know where its all going, winter and summer.
i made a unit like yours with a vicon sower on it and a honda engine with a pto on it, a bogie as well.
i made the mistake of making it with a universal bogie that i could drop a trailer top on when i wasnt sowing fert but of course any time i wanted the sower the box was on and any time i wanted the box the sower was there, the box won...
like you i find the sower a pita to put on for a few bags, i was half thinking of mounting it on a bogie, be quicker on and off at least.
you made a nice job of yours sir, nice work.
