Ballast Poor Man's 3PT Ballast

[BeezFun]

Here's the rear ballast I made a few year's ago. I had the wife watch for old weight lifting plates at garage sales. Cut the bar to length, cut the head off a draw pin and welded just the pin part to each end of the bar. I can add more weight if I want, a few hundred pounds and seems to be plenty for most things I do. It's very tight to the back of the tractor so I don't end up backing through a fence with it.

Simple, effective and adjustable weight. I like it.

Number one yard sale item is exercise equipment. Wonder why? Keep an eye out at yard sales.

And when your tractor chores are done, you can use them to improve your own body :laughing:

Good idea.

Maybe watch for some gym going out of business.
