Rather than use the backhoe on my GC2410 for ballast, I built a ballast box for use with the FEL and quick hitch snow blower. What's unique about this is I can move each of the 100lb cement blocks to my aerator and back as needed. I drilled a hole and drove a length of rebar through each block and welded a flat washer to the bottom and a lifting eye to the top. I can now use a chain attached to the FEL to easily move the blocks back an forth instead of wrestling them by hand. The ballast box give me a smaller footprint allowing me to get into tighter spots if needed. I'm thinking the total ballast box weight is about 600 lb.
