3 of the standard L series weights fit. They are 55-65lbs ea. Weight is pricy, expect at least >$1per lb. Condition does not really matter either since your only talking paint…

Something else to consider - making weights!

Even if you had to make a "wood" form - that will bolt into the front mounting bracket, you could make this form is such a way (yes - very low budget) that it will hold sand, gravel - or even concrete.

The first two can be removed easily - even if you added 80# on the front - that will make a difference on the rear.

I made a metal "box" on two of mine - with 5/16" chains in them - even that little bit made a difference!

Did the same for many years using a B7200. Let me suggest you will only want 200-300 pounds of material in that hopper.

north little rock, ar
i took the cheap way out, i made a bracket out of angle iron, drilled holes in it to bolt it to the front of my b2100, dropped an old time 12 volt lead battery in it, strapped the battery down with a ratchet strap. easy to remove and bolt back on. so far its helped out alot on the front end.

Go to your local Kubota dealer and get them there. Usually they will have them in stock so you don’t have to wait or pay for shipping.

I think they will have a few sizes (weights) and only one size will work for the tractor so be sure you ask about that.
