Without a FEL my little 750 gets a little light in the front end so I took a couple old 5th wheel bed rails and fixed that problem. The box weighs about as much as the two pieces of RR track I had hanging off the front before so probably won't need the concrete pavers so there will be room for storage of chains and tools

That's very similar to what we used to use on the front of our 2WD non FEL Universal tractor. We just put in an old D style battery, not as much weight, but it was enough to get some steering with a blower on the back.

Good place to throw a chain or two as well.

That's very clever and would work for me on a bigger tractor that needs a rock box.

Front carrier/weight box/rock box/ anything box. Probably add a tubing sleeve so I can carry my flat nose shovel or pitch fork

For those of us that do field or turf work, a rock box is a necessity, yet there is almost nowhere to put one on a compact tractor without a major fabrication effort. Without one, you can try to put one or two rocks on the floor, maybe hold one or two and then you're in trouble. A rock box is a must have.

I mounted a receiver hitch on the front of my Ford 1210, I can mount a slide in platform/box just like you see on the back of cars going doing the highway but, this goes on the front of my tractor. Don't use it often but, when I need it, all I do is slide it into the receiver hitch and go to work. Also mounts a ball hitch for moving bumper pull trailers around and acts as a tie down point for when I transport it. Might work for others, may not be the route you decide to go.

That is an idea to think about. Seems like I could make a mount for my rock box in front of the tractor or even on the side, as many boxes mount there. Good idea.
