First off I'd like to say "Thanks" to everyone. I've been using your knowledge to make an educated decision on my purchase. I'm now the proud owner of a BX1500 with a 54" MMM and a FEL. Here's a shot of it along side my other diesel.

Here's a rear shot of the weight box I built for it. It uses standard exercise weights that I bought at some garage sales. I already had the angle iron so the total cost was under $20. The box with the weights is about 270 lbs.

Here is a side shot with a removable basket for hauling around tools, chains, gloves or for holding trash that I pick up when I'm mowing.

Here's a shot of the hooks I added to the FEL. The 1/4" angle iron base and 3/8" hooks are welded, and since I usually over build everything, I borrowed another members idea of adding some bolts through the hooks and bucket.

Nice pics! (I like the powerstroke too! . .I have an X)

How heavy of a welder did you use to do that? Just curious as I'd like to have some hooks on my bucket when it gets here.

Regards,
Dave

I used a Lincoln 225 stick welder. I think it was set at 105 amps using 1/8" rod.

Congratulations on the new "tool". Nice looking weightbox setup. I like the basket idea for tools. One thing I think Kubota is missing the mark on big time is a small glove/tool box on these units. I know I sure would appreciate one for lynch pins, wrenches, gloves, etc.
