Does Kubota make a Ballast Box? If they do I can’t find it. Failing that will the Titan one work? All of the ones I see are painted green and hooked to a Deere. I’d rather not have to make one myself.
I won’t have the tractor until late this week but I did order it with the loader so we’ll see. I’ll call the dealer tomorrow.Kubota ballast box to fit your tractor is B5320 If you have a loader one should have came with it.
Same here. Painted it Kubota orange, added Kubota and reflector decals, installed an upright Olympic plate adaptor. Collectively weighs ~ 400lbs.I bought mine from Palletforks.com. (Titan)
Free shipping, fits the quick hitch and about $250.
I believe they have a 1-% coupon out there as well. It's sturdy and you can fill it with just about anything you want. Mine is with solid concrete half-blocks which when filled is just right for my B2320 with the LA604 loader....about 400#.
It also has a receiver and a sliding gate if you fill it with sand or pea gravel.
The Kubota brand is a bit pricey.
I've used 5 bags of 30 KG (66 lbs) of premixed concrete so 330 lbs plus the rebar I've throwed in to make sure it won't fall appart if it ever crack and the drawbar / hitch I would guess I'm close to 360 - 370 lbs ...That block of concrete is a great solution! Thank you for posting, you have given me an idea for a similar contraption.
How much does it weigh?
This site is a wealth of practical engineering and country wisdom.
Very nice set up but man those weights are pricey. Although I did get the Kubota ballast box that I still have to mess around filling with weight I should have just spent th e money and went with a setup like yours.Gave up on locating a ballast box and went this route...
