Ballast Box Help

Looking good. Add a couple of rebar loops sticking up out of the top. Helps to pick it up should it topple over. Also, helps if you decide to add another 6" of concrete later on.

x2 for photos.


That's what I did, the rebar loop.... But found out I needed the ballast box on rear to pick it up with FEL when it toppled over when I bumped into it ...

Great job. Give it a few days to really harden up and then enjoy the safe feeling of stability!

I wish TBN supported a quick thumbs up, but this is worth a reply. The difference is amazing. The way the tractor squats is a great safe feeling. It will always be connected except for the few times you need another 3pt attachment.
