You'll want something back there for ballast. The hoe certainly fits that bill when it's on. For the other times, I'd recommend a 4 foot box blade instead of a ballast box. In my experience, it's heavy enough to provide adequate ballast, and unlike a ballast box, it's also extremely useful as a tool in its own right. They can be a little pricey if bought new in some places, but you may well find a nice deal on a used one if you keep an eye on Craigslist.

If you're concerned about tire choice, to add the other set of tires to your package will add less than $400 (with rims!) to your package price due to the Kubota whole goods program.
Then you can put the turfs on when the lawn gets soft in the fall, & the r4s can go back on when things firm up after spring.
Turfs are said to do better in the snow anyway.

If you get to spinning the R4 tires dig in faster than turf. Some people buy 2 sets of tires for a BX. I forgot to say that the loader blocks your headlights so that is why you need additional lights.
I don't care for wheel weights. I had a set on my mower and they would have fit the BX but I let them go with the mower. The wheel weights stick out past the wheel and can get caught on stuff. I also don't care for the looks of them. I got fluid in my BXs rear tires. You have the weight but can't tell it is there. I am not sure if you can get fluid in the tires of a BX25D.
Instead of a ballast box get a implement like a box blade that you can do something with. Most people get a ballast box and fill it with concrete. You can get a drawbar, drawbar stabilizer, plywood, and concrete and make your own ballast for less than a ballast box.

Great advice on the box blade! Thanks. It looks like I could get something new in the $500 - $600 range, so used should be a viable option.You'll want something back there for ballast.

I am unaware of the "whole goods program," but having two sets of tires may make sense. Turfs with chains in the snow?

Thanks! A box blade seems to be the ticket. I'm still all over the place in my own mind on the tires considering loader jobs, plowing and mowing.

Doubt you'll even need chains, but if you do, you'll also need wheel spacers for the rears because of clearance issues.
