Kubota - BX25D
Since I have the 60" mower deck on, I have the BH stored so I needed some ballast while moving some dirt etc.
Looked in the scrap pile and found a nice piece of "hanger steel", I'd been saving old brake rotors for some time thinking they might be useful at some point...here's the point!:thumbsup:

A couple of pieces of chain and I've got around 200lbs here. Can add more as I acquire more rotors.;) It would be real easy to add another whole "set" this way as well.
I can fill the bucket with dirt and the wheels stay on the ground!:cool2:

Weight is weight so it works. We use old bar bell weights and thrift stores often sell them cheap.
