How to buy a ballast box - should be simple, right? But....

[grsthegreat]

I purchased the john deere ballast bix with height extension kit for my kioti. But since i could not take the greeN box...i took it to my buddys powder coat shop and sand blasted it and colored it kioti orange.

Filled it with concrete and i have a 1,000 pound ballagt. Have had it for close to 8 years now. Very handy and never gets in the way working close quarters.

I agree I went with Titian Cat 2 ballast box for L4701 paid about 400 bucks holds 11 80lbs of concrete weighs around 1200lbs. I have quick hitch Land Prides ballast not compatible I for life of me don稚 know why??? The Titan I did have to do some light grinding to get top hook to not rub box very easily fixed !! I知 very pleased with product

If a 3pt QH compatible ballast will fit a standard 3pt, why the **** make both?

My TITAN ballast did not fit my QH. Top link pin was behind lower pins (needed moved forward) and was too high. Moving top hook for different implements almost negates using a QH. I lack welding skills but can bolt almost any thing together. See attached photos for my top link mod.

Your mod for top hook looks good and obviously works I recently purchased a Bush Hog fertilizer spreader in order to use it on my QH you use a similar bracket for top hook but ended up not using QH because lever for opening gates on spreader hits top of QH so just mount on 3pt it痴 easy to move around.On Titian Cat 2 ballast box I put lift pins pointing inwards and as I mentioned little grinding on top edge of box where lift hook comes under to hook pin.
