The new work horse ( AKA TOY )

[Bob_K]

Well I took the plung, I now have a brand new Newholland TC24DA Tractor 12LA Loader and A 60"MMM. The new addition to the family arived Just Last Wed, Well atleast the tractor and Loader Did. Still waiting on bracket to come for the MMM.
Soon after I used it in the dirt i found out I needed to add some weight the back end to offset the loader. So back to the shop to make a Ballast box. After getting the needed stuff I ended up with a 26"Long x 12"Wide x 12" High. Made of 4 cast steel blocks (each at 150 lbs) and stainless steel sides. Apox weight 700 lbs
