Rear counter balance weight, tc35 with 16la

   / Rear counter balance weight, tc35 with 16la #11  
As the others said.. an implement on the rear is more handy than a weight box -if- you will use it, and if it won't get in the way.

The only loader tractors i have are antiques.. I have a weight box on back that is tucked in tight giving them not much rear footprint. i did this in leiu of a big box blade for 3 reasons.

1, I already have a box blade that while not heavy.. is good enough for what i do.

2, A nice heavy box blade for my setup would likely have stuck out farther than the tires.. and with this antique.. she's already abnormally long due to the laoder geomentry.. that makes her harder to maneuver as it is.. plus no power steering.. so i left her as narrow as possible.

3, I tend to be cheap (wink).. and a good heavy box blad is way more expensive than the 15$ I spend building my weight box.

Your situation is way different than mine wioth that new macine and all.

Thus i 2nd or thrid the reccomendation for a good box blade..

In all my travails, one day I ended up with TC45 with loader, no cab
I was moving sand that day (you know, 1.2 tons per yard) and moving it around for a riding arena
It was pretty darn tippy, esp with a full load
But, the tires weren't loaded, you figure 600lbs apiece, it shouldnt' be an issue.
I can't think of anything heavier than sand. (you figure level it's 1/2 yard, heaping (and I'm good, it's always heaping) you are probably at 2/3's of a yard, that's 1200lbs and it never really flipped, another 1200 on the back, no possible way.
