I’m contemplating recycling an old 3pt carryall into a counter balance / tool carrier. By the time I add some concrete, treated wood floor and sides for the box, the frame and the typical tools, chains, etc, I’m guessing about 675#, plus both rear tires are filled. I’m guessing that should be about right. I believe my 6’ box blade weighs about the same. This build should give me a more compact weight without the bulk/width of the blade and a tool caddy as well. Thoughts?

Sounds like a good plan.

Also, if you can find something like old free bricks, grab some and you can use them for extra weight when needed. Just line the bottom with a couple rows (about 100lbs cu/ft) and throw a piece of plywood on top to use as a floor/shelf.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same.
It doesn't make sense to put a block of weight back there that hasn't any other use.
A carry all can be used for so much more. And when you need more weight, just put it on the carry all.

Great idea, killing several birds with one stone.
