3pt Weight Bracket Options, Heavy Hitch, etc

[def38]

A 55 gallon poly barrel when filled with water weighs about 475 lbs. including the weight of the barrel. Use it as ballast, or a sprayer tank (they have two bungs which can accept fittings. Also, a cheap $20.00 diaphragm pump, a $15.00 wand, $20.00 worth of braided nylon hose and you've got yourself a spray rig. Poly barrels usually sell for ~$20.00 each.

Have you checked into the HeavyHitch on Heavy Hitch.com? they have 4 different models that use suitcase weights.
Could someone please direct me to a forum/post for adding wheel weights to a John Deere 1025R? I've searched but can't find one.

I used a roller pump on my tractor:

it comes really handy for watering and also as a backup when I am burning bigger pile of wood.
