Here's a picture of my 1983 Kubota B6200 with a Kubota snowblower that someone converted to rear pto. You can see my 5 gal pail of cement wheel weights ... well the left one anyway.

Don't you snag the 5 gallon pails on things ?

Got any pictures? We had an early Kubota for our lawn business that was the smallest they made at the time. It was a beast! I love old stuff. Pictures would be great!

this was around a 1975 JD 820. the 820 was made by Mercedes. The only problem I ever had with it was tubes tat seemed to go bad every 2 years.

Yes, this is a recent mod and I'm still getting used to the extra width they take up. I won't leave them on for mowing next year. Can't get close enough when trimming.

The killer surprise was last Saturday morning when I went to load it on my trailer to take to the cabin up north in Michigan. It didn't fit on my 5x10 trailer.My son and I took off one weight and it fit.

My next project is to modify the trailer sides to taper from the top of the fender to the back end of the trailer. Then I'll put a small ramp up in the back of the trailer to lift the back wheels of the tractor up another 6 inches. This should give me the clearance for the bucket weights.
