Ballast F2560E Rear Ballast Weight

[jsswain]

I recently purchased a used F2560E to mow grass on my acreage. The machine came with a High Lift Grass Catcher and a 72 inch mower deck. Some of the grass I mow is on ditch slopes. I had no need for the high lift grass catcher and I felt it made the machine top heavy so I removed it. The F2560E comes from the factory with a large ballast weight on the rear of the machine however this weight is not present on my machine. It had to be removed by the factory to install the drive for the grass catcher. I now need to add rear ballast weight but I have no idea how much to add. Has anyone had this same problem and if so, what is the amount of weight you added. I suppose the alternative is to try to determine the total weight of a high lift grass catcher model GC-F30H and add that amount but I have no idea what the figure is?- Anyone with any assistance for me?- Thanks

The standard rear weight is 106lb for that machine. Can likely order one from the dealer.

No problem. Here is the part # if it helps. K353151315
You can access parts books through Kubota.ca. Don't use the US site as they won't let you access parts through their site. Go figure.

Thanks for the Part number and the Kubota Canada parts site. I checked it out and can see that it will be very handy to use in the future. I will give the dealer a call today. Thanks for you help.
