Anyone have any ideas on a good setup for storing front tractor weights?

Thanks!

i have a big angle iron bumper, and just cast some concrete weights to mount to it using carriage bolts cast into the concrete.

I just built a front weight ballast box for my JD 3032E. It is built out of 2 inch angle iron and mounts to a 2 inch reciever hitch that I added to the front of the tractor. The box will hold 14 - 4 " x 8" x 16" solid concrete blocks for a total of 350 lbs. You can add more blocks to it also for more weight if you used a ratchet strap to hold them in place. Each block weighs 25 lbs. I will post some pictures of the build soon.

I think he is asking a good convenient way to store them when not on the tractor. What type of weights do you have, that might help give someone a idea of a way to store them.

anything from a pallate to a rack on the wall.
