I am trying to locate a moderately priced source of suitcase weights, for my BX 2200.
I would mount them in a bracket for front counterweight (300 lb), and also to add ballast to my box scraper & core aerator(200-500lb).
The farm tractor dealers in my area (Northern CT) have big weights, 100 lb @ $1.00+ a pound.
My dealer has standard kubota weights, $65.00 for 62lb.
I think you folks share my opinion that it is alot of $$$$ for a cast iron weight.
I have searched for old suitcase weights at tractor dealers, junkyards, and farms, without any luck.
Any suggestions for locating these needed but elusive creatures is appreciated.
I would weld up my own bracket, any weight make would be usable.
Thanks:
