Ballast block for use with my 4100 / 410 loader.

10-1/2 sacks of quick-crete.

Two 3/16" flats with 3/4" hole dilled through the end welded to an off-the-shelf cat-1 drawbar.

Some additional rebar thrown into the forms in case it cracks.

Estimated weight = 900 lbs.

I tapered the front so it nestles tight to the tractor - it only protrudes about 10 inches past the lift arms.

I chamfered the back corner to further help avoid backing into things.
