New BX-2370 Balast Box Question

[jfharper]

Looking at one of these for my Dad, who will be mowing up a hill. We are getting the rear mower and fel. Is there supposed to be a ballast box included with the fel? If so, what does the ballast box weigh. Is there anyway to get a little more weight for my Dad on the front end in case it starts to rise going up hill. I heard the front weights get in the way of the fel and are not necessary since the fel is on..

Ballast box goes on the rear, to counterbalance the loader. It is an empty box that you add weight to. Not included with FEL, as most people use a rear implement instead.

With the loader on you should have enough weight up front to balance out the rear mower. If you ever need too you can scoop up a bucket of material for more weight up front.
