I think that thing would hold an M1 Abrams.

You could get away with 2x4 and be just as secure. Heck, my 180 is on a stand built entirely out of 3/4 ply.

4x4 's are not a stable choice. buy 3 sheets of birch plywood and drive up to Dallas and I will help you

x 1 million...

4x4's are absolutely terrible for tank stand construction and ridiculous overkill. They bend/warp/twist and change way too much IMHO.

That drawing is incorrect anyway.4x4 are actually only 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Also, ditto on no 4x4...
