We’ve got our rear tires loaded and use a 6ft box blade that weighs about 600 lbs for ballast. I don’t mind the box blade for ballast but I hate using the brush hog for ballast because it’s soo big and you always have to worry about swinging it into things. Nice demo none the less
You could also purchase steel wheel weights for the rear tires. They could be removed if you got a backhoe. The weights and the ballast box would make the tractor more stable. Also heavy hitch sells a hitch that carries weights that is more compact than the ballast box.

Jan Skoropinski all great information thanks
newbee question. Do you have more curling force then lifting force on these compact tractors? Thx
Sorry - I missed the weight- how much was it?
David Kotowski that I’m not exactly sure total weight, but the engine transmission and transfer case from an old Chevy truck it’s pretty heavy
