Balist Box and new 3 point reciever hitch

[gunmaker]

Chris- great job...but now it's time to get a little dirt on her. HE HE HE!
You got me thinking now...I've been holding off on the ballast box, but now I've got a bit of an idea to mount a 2" receiver hitch into the ballast box. Then adapt a subsoiler to it, sort of like kennyd's. Me thinks that weight cannot only provide traction but downforce on the attachment at the same time.

gunmaker , That sounds like a great idea,
Dont forget to put some cast iron pipe in for some work tools.
and be sure to use portland. it is as heavy as all sin.....
I have a good subsoiler. i just take all the scarfers out of the box blade but the middle one. Weigh of the box blade will put it in the ground...
And i do get my tractor dirty. I just wash it alot.....

Chris......

You won't need the weight to to provide downforce, as the angle of the scarifier pulls it down into the ground easily. The increased traction would be a benefit though...
