BX23s - 3pt Hitch & Ballast Box

BX23S-1 · Nov 21, 2019

Picked up a 3pt hitch at my dealer today. Looking to build a ballast box for the tractor. That way i wont have to run the tractor with the back-hoe on it all winter long for additional weight.

If you guys would, could you post some of your pictures of your ballast boxes, OEM or otherwise...? I`m trying to get some ideas for my own when i build one this week, or next week.
Please post what you made yours from, what your running inside of it for weight. Also i`m thinking of adding some tool holders in and around the box.

Thanks guys

I have the BX2370 and the box it came with, just a grey rectangular box full of concrete, weighs in at 180kg.
Considering a carry all with some weights on it so it brings it up to the same weight and makes it useful, probably a 4-5" tube of concrete at the back running the width of it, a carry all weighs about 130kg so it won't take much.
