Made up a quick ballast set up comprised of my 3pt forks, a pallet, and a filled plastic 55 gallon closed barrel. (Tried loading a pict but the app keeps crashing). It worked well and i was finally able to back off with a full loader bucket. Got two truck loads of manure moved.
Tomorrow i hope to run the tiller through it but i'm unsure if i need an over running clutch adaptor. The tiller has a slip clutch and the shafts mate. I do need to shorten it to avoid bottoming out the shaft.
