Barrel Ballast

   / Barrel Ballast #21  
Nice job......I am sure that will work nicely for you. I have a small tractor......my ballast is an old washing machine tub filled with rocks. Have used it for years. Weighs about 400lbs.....plenty for my work. Keep up the good work!!

Here's the final product attached to the L3800. Next project is a rear PTO powered leaf blower conversion.

I can feel the weight in the back when I lift it. I have to try putting the front forks on and lifting something to see the difference.

Remeber to lift it up a bit when you take off, you can leave a pretty embarrasing trail across the field. dont ask how I know :confused3:

Did the 12 bags of concrete fill the drum? I'm trying to estimate weight/space, etc.
