Another ballast box

[Stomper]

Just thought I would post a picture of the ballast box I made for my Kubota L2501 incase anyone is interested. It is in the 650# range according to my calculations. Still have to paint it up when time permits. Not sure if it will be grey or kubota orange.

This is there doing, not ours.
This is what we see.

I posted this on another thread so forgive the duplication:

"I have noticed that these ballast boxes are positioned in the middle of the 3pt. Is that the optimal positioning of ballast? Reason I ask is that I hang 2 metal plates off my blade by hooks and I can put them just about anywhere along that 7' span. Normally on my 8N I had them equal distant from the middle (3pt) to the ends but don't know why."

Update: I put the weights as near the middle of the blade as possible, one on each side.

The biggest reason they are center of the 3 point is that's where they attach.
