I don't mind nit-picking, and think you are right about filling the barrel so it doesn't slosh. It even crossed my mind when I was typing the previous message, but 'ran out of breath' in that sentence. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you put a heavy weight on one side to do this job, just make dead sure that the weight doesn't come off while you are on that hill. I know I for one wouldn't like to hear about how your tractor turned over if the weight came off.

I'm thinking you need to put your drink in the uphill cup holder.

Id keep any counterweight very low, as far outboard as possible, and rearward - as the rear is your source of stability. In no case should it be something held in the bucket because this will lighten the rear. Also, use a higher pressure in your downhill rear tire.

Lots of good suggestions. Thanks. I may do a practice run this weekend with my box blade. If I do I'll take some pics...hopefully won't be of a Kubota laying on it's side.
