I have the 5740, but with the grapple on the front picking up 35' logs to cut and the rear tires are filled, the tractor is tippy. My 8' box scraper or my kubota ballast box only adds between 500-700 lbs. So I took some solid 8" steel stock x 4 by the width of the 3 point hitch arms, welded a CAT 1 pins to it, and it adds 2200 lbs to the rear of the tractor and it is very small. Easy to hook up too. If you are going to lift heavy in front, put heavy in rear. Esp with logs that overhang on each side of the grapple.

I have at most $50 into it...How can they manufacture, bag, and ship a 60 lb bag of concrete mix then sell it for $2.25?
Still racing at Hartford and Hussets.
