Kioti ck series ballast

[Texas Todd]

Made this one from 10 - 60 lb concrete. Might work for you as well.

I have a paved driveway, so don't think I'll get a ton of use from a box blade plus a neighbor with one I can use whenever needed. The ability to tow my splitter in the woods on the back of the ballast box seems helpful also. I don't know what it would weigh once filled. I'm assuming it would be quite a bit less than the 1,000 lb block you were using

I also like to be able to tow while having ballest. I made a 55 gal blue plastic barrel into a ballest using about 4 80# bags of concrete mix plus rocks and scrap iron. I also embedded a 1 1/2" reciever I had laying around so I can tow my log splitter and trailers around. I weighed each item as I put it in and came to 675 lbs. There is extra space on top so I store my chains (4) there as well as throw in some bricks and stone so I'm at about 800lbs. I used a piece of black pipe through the barrel to act as lift pins (I filled the pipe with concrete to make it stronger).

I've posted pics previously and can find on if you'd like.
