I've been wanting a stand for the DFX ,but didn't want to spend much money.
So I made my own. I was serching the web and different forums for some ideas.
I almost took an idea from Lowjiber (sooo close !)
I really liked the one Whites offers but it wasn't quite tall enough, and it is narrower at the bottom than at the top.
I wanted mine to be wider at the base and taller.
The control box is 5 wide ,so I made my base 6 wide.
The rear of the box would sit in the wet grass and mud before, now it sits 4 off the ground(with the rubber feet its 4 1/2).
That should do it !

Hey, did ya bend that with your bare hands Superman? lol Nice job. :yes: That seems to be the best and simplest design. Works great and doesn't get in the way of anything. Makes you wonder why all these other stands are made wrong :huh:

Tim that worked out great thumbsup01 A nice no nonsense design... I like the height too, most stands only give you an inch or two.

Thanks Jimmy!
That's where I was coming from, even at a mowed yard or park, the shorter stands wouldn't be tall enough to get the box ,up and out of the wet grass.
Thanks again :grin:

I've got to figure out a way to cut down on production time.
It took me about 6-7 hrs. to make one.
It was my first crack at it so there was some stop and think about this time involved :confused:
I think I am going to make a few more . PM me I can whip up a few more.
