Not I. I have a bunch of Lynx levelers and I haven't busted them.

Interesting idea....I may cut out a few with an old mat I have at the shop and replace my old split 2x8's. Thanks for sharing, Brian.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. where does one buy barn stall mats? I have some heavy rubber anti fatigue mats purchased at Lowes I use in the boats to stand on, but they have holes in them. Neat idea though. I`ve got wood and the lynz levelers and its worked alright for me too, none have broken yet.

Tractor Supply is a great source for this stuff.

Probably a problem finding that where you live, Lee but where I live you can't throw a rock without hitting a barn. And we have almost as many Tractor Supply Stores as we do WalMarts.

Isn't that a lot of weight to carry around? I've moved some mats in my day and they're not light. I've also used the plastic levelers and not had any problems.

Actually there is a tractor supply only 30 miles from here and a Southern States closer then that.

I'm sure they work fine, but I would be concerned about the weight. Its amazing how quickly small things add up. We have lynx blocks that are now 6 years old and have never had a problem.

Tractor Supply is a great store to find whatever you can't at most other stores....trouble is they are so darn high on their prices...but I guess that's the price you have to pay for that odd item you need every so often....I like the stores.

These mats are way heavier than the lynx levelers, but they are heavy duty.
