I have a kubota bx. I filled my box about 1/2 full of pea gravel. It weighs 415# and is behind a 70# quick hitch. I had to modify my box to fit the QH, but it works great for max lift. Easy to adjust with the gravel and plenty for my tractor. Seems like they should be around 800# full.

Great looking ballast box!! Each attachment has a purpose, but this one is definitely a necessary one!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

Awesome improvement to the tractor. Accessories are always fun!!

I have the same tractor. You still need more ballast. I looked at the same box, but it's not enough. You need up near 1000lbs ballast in close to the tractor (with filled tires) to do max lifts regularly. The IBC totes are just about at the 1600lbs rating of the 4030 loader, and the log plus grapple was putting you up near that range also. If the boxes mount points are sturdy enough, fill that box with as much scrap steel as it will hold then fill the rest with concrete and weigh it all so you know what it is. I don't think that there's anything you can put in the box (that is affordable) that will get you up to 900+ lbs without attaching some more weight across the bottom of it. Your back tires STILL jumped inches off the ground when you lowered the log a little. See 6:41. You still need more to move that much weight regularly.

Awesome. I love my Kioti tractor for sure. Wonderful machine 👍👍

Good deal. Looks like that ballast will help tremendously! Looks pretty good on Sadie’s tractor too🤣

$5 can of paint will make it a black ballast box. I may look into this but for the moment I'll use my box blade as a ballast. Great video.

Nice addition Matt. I know you said you might want to empty it at some point and that’s why you used the pebbles. My guess is you will find no need to empty it. If you filled it with concrete it would probably add another 200 pounds. That would really add stability. Something to think about.

Hey Matt, yes it looks like it’s going to be a big help out

Those Amazon chinese specials are way better quality than titan attachments boxes, I learned from experience! Good stuff

I had that same one from Amazon when I first bought my tractor. The ears on the 3 point mounting bent after 1 day of use. Probably a good ballast box but didn’t hold up to using the hitch receiver. Luckily they had a good return policy and I was able to get my money back.

need to be careful, that first log caused a little power hop,, need more ballast, fill tires or use some briefcase weights...

Cool ballast box, if you need more weight you can add wheel weights and put Rim Guard in your back tires.

My father just uses his belly. Lol. We have a Bobcat 873 which weighs nearly 9,000#’s. It can lift over 4,000#’s.

Surprised you could lift anything without ballast. Good thing you have it now. Takes a lot of stress off your front axle. Add more weight if you have it.

That works great! I think I will be shopping for one.

Great video. We have our ballast box on the tractor almost all the time. (Unless something else is on the 3 point). Much better stability and better for the front axle.

Very nice! I like it!

Hey Matt, if that isn't enough ballast for you? I seen another KZfaqr take a carry-all and bolt a 48" job-box to it. Fill the bottom half with concrete and the top half for chainsaws+gear. It worked great for him.

Matt when get a big log curl back soon as can will increase your lifting power. Bill

Hello Matt you made a great choice! Amazing!😂 Take care🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

A cover may be a good idea so the box doesn't fill with water (to avoid corrosion)

Nice ballast box! Cheaper the better for your purpose. Did you change the tires on your tractor, I was thinking you had ag tires when first shown? Great video.👏🏻🇺🇸

Also put some sand in the box it will fill the holes in it!

A couple rattle cans and it would have been black in 15 minutes!👍 What do they claim weight on reciever is? Looks like a dump trailer full might wad it up?

did u weight your tires too?

Are Your rear tires filled?

Smaller grapple bigger log!!
