I used a smaller than 55 gal. drum to make the ballast for my BX, filled it with concrete and painted it the wrong color. The smaller barrel fits nicely behind the tractor, not sticking out too much. If I recall correctly it weighs about 400 lbs and makes a big difference when doing heavier (for the BX) loader work. I can take measurements if you like. I figure if I need more ballast, I can add weights to the top of the barrel.
