I find that I have been doing more loader work than I thought with my 2305. I know, you're never EVER supposed to carry loads without ballast, but with a little common sense, one can be OK.
I am becoming concerned that I may be putting too much stress on the front axle, so I want to concoct an ultra-cheap ballast. No $200 box filled with sand or whatever, but a chunk of concrete (hopefully $30 - $40).
First thought is to get a round container of some sort, center a solid steel rod though the middle pour several bags of Sakrete in, and let it harden. Hook it up to the TPH, and I could possibly use it to roll the lawn too!
