I poured Sakrete into an old Shop Vac bucket (any bucket will work) and placed two pieces of 1/2" rebar bent over the edge to make it hang into the tractor bar. About $4 for an 80 lb bag and sometimes cheaper if it's on sale. I have two that I hang on a bar on the front of my B2320 to achieve about 140lbs of weight. It's ugly for sure but effective and cheap.

Search on key word "counterweight". Just type in the word and hit ENTER.

Get a universal carrier or make one to hook to the 3PT. You can rthen add all the weight in small increments or one big lump. I just slide a big 3' dia fir log on and strap it down. It sets in the rain so it is always heavy.

Maybe you weren't signed in? You must be signed in for it to work. Just a thought.
