Ballast Photos

[Xfaxman]

I needed a little ballast when using the 7' brush hog on the front.


The Brush Boss weighs 165 lbs. The suitcase weight is 75 lbs.


Used a scrap piece of 1 1/4 square tube for a spacer.


Now it steers better on side hills, :thumbsup:

Looks like a pretty serious brush grubber to me.

It bosses brush.:laughing:

It hasn't done any thing for me since I sold my tractor 3 years ago. Before that I used it to remove cedar trees.

I was confused as to how it worked but I found this on it

I am not sure if it would work in this hard ground we have here:scratchchin:

Since this is a "Ballast" thread, I will give you a tease picture and see if you can guess what it will become.

Ballast?

Ballast?

No, but stay tuned. I can't mess up a good landscape box just for ballast.

Here is mine. I can just set it down to get rid of it. I made the attachment so I can use my forks as well as the weight. The weight is about 900lbs.

Steve, I like that you can do a quick drop.:thumbsup:

Here's mine - it's about 500 lbs. The 2 holes are for standing a shovel or rake in. I don't use it a lot because I usually have the snowblower attached all winter and the bush cutter on for most of the summer.
