1/4" wall for every thing that I'm putting the punishment to. For the the frame on my mini hoe I used 3x3 square tube 1/4 wall. I went with the 1/4" wall DOM tube mostly because it was easiest to get with the 1" id and enough meat for a stress point. Personal preference for me. Bunk nailed it... definitely don't go less than 3/16.


I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn.
Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.
