I was literally thinking the same thing, one more hitch and you got everything you need. Well done and we’ll thought out.

Thanks for giving me another project to start..great video

Wish I was there. When you showed the box I was thinking, hey, put a couple more tubes in that thing. Oh well. It’s a great rig anyway!

Hi, Andrew! Great video. Mr. Thinker Tinkerer is busy as always. Your mind must stay in overdrive. Ruger is a handsome boy. His fur looks so shiny and soft.

The ultimate "Thinkerer, Tinkerer". Another awesome project as usual. I think all of us were thinking just like Cash when he said to put a hitch on that! I hope Vevor is paying you a consultant and promotional fee.

You don't like grabbing a front bucket load and feeling the rear tires lift! LOL. Nice setup. I saw @Rockhillfarmandhomes video too.

Nice set up! A complete game changer, I was able to max out my front loader capacity. I filled mine with washed stone just in case I ever wanted it empty. We have a sawmill and it allows me to pick up and move larger logs and lumber after it is cut and stacked.

Well done 👍

You need to add one of those giant 5-10 gallon water coolers to the ballast box, on the side with the tool tubes, since the chainsaw holder is on the other side. Add an L bracket to the box that the cooler sits on and have it attached by 2 L eyelet brackets to the side such that a ratchet like strap can wrap around the water container.

AWESOMESAUCE!!!! DIY at its finest!

Clark & Deborah: Andrew once again another Great DIY video 👏 👏 👏 👏. The add-on are endless. Well done 👍 👌

That box will come in really handy for your tractor.

Nicely done, Andrew! I may have to get me one of those when I add a 3rd function and a grapple to my Kioti. I won't need to take off a rear tire to add the 3rd function on my tractor, but I will need to if I want to add a 2nd rear remote. Seeing you take off the filled rear tire in your 3rd function video is giving me some confidence about being able to do the same. I'll probably have my son (he is 27 and built like a football player) give me a hand with it. Take care and God Bless.

Next thing you know, there's a fridge and a grill so you can have some hot meal with cold drinks while cutting wood, LOL

I'm back! And 1st! It's starting to become comical how much variety of stuff vevor carries! 😂

Good video as usual Andrew. I really enjoy your content. Thank you!! 👍👍❤️❤️. 🇨🇦

Excellent job 👍! That was my thought as well since the original seemed to have a lot of play and you still have the original small one for other purposes.

Nice setup... 🙂

That's so awesome!!!!

You are so talented. Great video and information.

Love this idea. I’ll do this once I get my tractor. Thanks Andrew!

Sweet finished set up Andrew. Cash had a great idea!

Toss in an outdoor kitchen/tent holder and you can stay out in the woods all weekend.... :) I don't see a ice water cooler holder though!

Love it!!!!

That’s pretty cool, plus it’s a metal box. You can just weld two even size metal boxes under the side of it and had more weight in the future if you want or you could weld them on and leave them empty and if they’re sealed on top you can fill it with water and just put a drain plug on the bottom so you don’t always have to have all the weight on. then you can have it be 500 pounds or 800 pounds. Waters about 8 1/2 pounds per gallon, I think it’s 8.6, so if you put 11 or 12 gallon size boxes on the side which would be about 12 x 12 x 20 I believe then you could just fill them with water or not fill them with water to add or remove A 2 or 3 hundred lbs whenever you want. You could also weld a tab underneath, so you can keep the ballast on and still be able to hook up something you wanna drag like a drag harrow. It definitely would’ve been cool to put some PVC into the concrete for a couple more holes or even stuck a 1x5” board down in there do you have put the chainsaw blade down into it to keep it centered, and a little more protected. (Excalibur😅). But you’ve got a big metal box and you can weld just about anything onto it. You could just take a few pieces of tube and make a rack and weld that right to the side and put a bunch of stuff in there. Maybe some bungee attachment points so you could strap your weedeater or whatever on there too. Pretty cool

Basically a DIY Big Tool Rack. Much less expensive too:)

That is awesome Andrew. I can't wait for that mean grappler to do some work. I'll be looking forward to that video. Oh yeah, Ruger is getting big.

Great idea's

That was a really good idea Cash. Nice setup Andrew. I have been debating on putting concrete in my ballast box. Think I will now add it to my to do list.

Your rooster sounds happy 🐓

What.... Who was the dang person to make you work so much harder after completing such a awesome tool box 🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏽........ Ohh thanks for telling on me ... 🫣. LoL.. hey now it's a masterpiece 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Damn. That’s really something.

I have the same box, it's 5 cu ft and at 150 lbs per cube that's 750 lbs of concrete and about 75 lbs of box, so your probably good. Dry concrete has a lighter weight than hardened concrete.

You just as well go ahead and weld you a couple tubes on the outside of the box so you can haul a rake,shovel or any other number of things as well being your going to paint it black lol. Even carry your umbrella along with you to set up.

I was thinking the same add on thing for towing before you did your extended video add on. You can always weld a tube on the outside of the box for extra tools carriage if you need. Maybe a whole box on the backside for extra implements you may want to add for in the future.

Add a IBC frame on the forks and you could process, stack, and bring the wood back to the house all in one go. Nice vid, I did something very similar but made the receiver with an extra tube for the carrier to slide into so it’s above the tongue of the spliter

I have the same ballast box. I really like it. The only thing is I lost the box when it shifted sideways and bent the thin keepers that came with it. I changed them out to one's I could use the larger 1/4" pins.

Andrew when you added the end cut I thought you were going to add a cushion liner in basket for Ruger.

beef it up so you can pull your water trailer hahaha! just kidding bud! very nice work!

I have an idea, consider those 2 tubes as a mounting point sorta. you could mount any number of different racks, tool boxes, extra weight if needed, anything. you said you wish you had an additional tube for tools. what if you made a rack, and the rack had 2 tubes that slid into those tubes as the mounting system. but the rack could have as many tool tubes as tall as you wanted on em. Nice thing would be the rack could be removed any time you didnt want/need it on there just by sliding it up.

You could always weld a tube on outside of box or rack for more tool storage or to store the hitch handy

The Titan ballast box is already black. I was able to get a full seven 80 lb bags of concrete by tamping between each bag.

You can weld more metal tubes to the outside of the box, or any other attachment you need.

Well you've got yourself a nice setup. All you need is a little refrigerator and a hotdog stand and your set. 😂

Ref: A 3rd hole for tools. If you have access to a coring bit you can still add that third hole or attach an external pipe for another tool holder. 😊

That's a sweet set-up. There's one thing missing though. Some way to bring back all the firewood you processed and split back in the woods. LOL...put a tote on wheels and haul behind the log splitter😂😂

That's the problem with having friends, always causing you more work. LOL Take care.

Nice I plan on getting one of these also because you are right a bush hog or disc is to long for working and turning in the woods with a grapple. I just bought a new 4066R and trying to figure out some place to mount a tool box for carrying just a few basic tools when I head out in the woods. I made the front loader tube PVC pipe thing but it just doesn't hold much. You got a video on that project? Hint, Hint.🙂

I was literally about to make the same comment to add a hitch to the basket

Seeings how the tank is steel you could always weld some more pipe to the outside for more tool hauling ability seeings how you filled it with concrete then thought about more storage. You sure come up with some work smarter not harder ideas!!!

Ruger kept photo bombing your video. Got pretty distracted by how big, sleek and healthy your pup is looking! Had to rewatch parts of the vid.

weld a rail around the top and you could easily throw a gas tank and some saw oil in without using the hitch

You ever considered hitting up Pats quick hitch to send you a demo ? Work great on my 4066R, I never will go without them on any small tractor. You would sell thousands for them.

Of course the stuff from vevor is very well priced. You get it for free

👍🏽👍🏽

You should’ve put castors on bottom so you could push it around in shop when not in use

Andrew what kind of fence posts are you planning on using when you eventually build your pasture fence?

👏👏 👀

All I can think of is the cow tipping in Cars.

Say Andrew, I see it has been 5 months since you posted this video and I'm wondering how the ballast box is holding up? Any problems with welds or brackets? Do you find it provides enough weight as is or do you still need to add more? Thanks, I'm going to go watch more of your videos now. 😎

Leave it to you to quadruple the usefulness of a tool!

Could you not weld another pip or two on the outside of the box

Watcha got going on the shop floor, project sneak peak?

Would it not be more versatile and practical to have a sprayer tank that doubles as a ballast box? I cannot see spending money on something that has a single function when you could clearly perform an additional task.

Put water in tires problem solved.

What…nothing to pull the Woodmaxx in addition to the splitter?😂

I've got to disagree with you on one point, the factory welds on that thing are far from relatively decent. You're being far too kind.

like the video did a very good job.check out the BIG TOOL RACK see if you like that. be bless and love and safe.
