A conglomeration of ideas mostly taken from this board.Thanks to all for contributing!

My tractor happens to be a Kioti DK45SE. These mods really are not model specific however, and could be used on just about any tractor that carries a box blade.

nice job with that. now all it needs is a fancy paint job to prevent rust and look purddy...

Well I got the upper rack painted Kioti gray, and some more counter weight added (found a chunk of railroad rail) so just the orange left to do now...

Grader boxes are handy, I've got so much on mine that i need to get another one to use for a grader box.

Your wish is my command... I also welded on a piece of railroad track across the back for more ballast.

Fine job, paint job really polishes it off nicely. What is that little white container in the tray toward the back? And what size is it and what do u think it weighs?

The white container is a bubble level, the large RV type that can be read from a distance. You can see it better in the video

The box blade is 5' 6" and I think it is getting close to 1000 lbs now with all the extra ballast.

A level was a brilliant idea. I'm surprised 5 1/2 feet covers the back of that tractor I would've thought it would've had to been at least six. Probably about the perfect size though Ill bet it's really nice when you're moving around in the woods not having it stick out too far. I went with the six footer five & 1/2 was special order on my CT 225 and it's about as much is it can handle with all the scrapers all the way down. I can stop the tractor with it if I get in to some hard pack. Again nice job and thanks for sharing.
