Front-End Loader 200CX LOADER ARRIVE TODAY

[BIG DOOLEY]

The dealer delivered my new 200CX loader on a pallet this afternoon about 3:30 this afternoon.
There were not any clear instructions with the unit but there were some in a user manual.
I assembled and hooked it up. topped off the hydraulic fluid and tried it out.
This will be nice for snow removal and hauling fire wood this winter.
this is my first FEL and i know it will get lots of use.

Did you get a Ballast Box with it?

Looks great, just in time for all the snow that's coming.

Thanks guys.
No ballast box from the dealer.
I am building my own.
I am looking for some scrap steel to fill the bottom with.
Hoping 1000 +/- lbs will be about the right amount. I'll probably cap it off with concrete???
I do not want to load my tires.
i water my grass alot in the summer because i'm on a sand ridge and the added weight will track up the lawn too much with the soil being so loose and moist.
and yes there is no better way to spend a vacation day than clearing snow or running the chainsaw.
Bring on the snow!

I need to build some ballast for my 2320/200CX also, but I'm aiming for about 600 to 700 lbs. Given the loader and 3 point capacity of the 2320, it seems to me that 1000 lbs might be overkill. Anyone here actually have that much weight on their 2320?

no such thing as overkill if its getting traction for you unless exceding the specs on the lift. thats just me though.
