Add Weight to the Weight Box
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Do not exceed 3-point weight limit specified for the tractor
attached to the Weight Box. Exceeding the limit can result in
loss of control, rollover, equipment damage, injury
and/or death.
The Weight Box can be filled with any material that will fit
into the box. The amount of weight should be matched to
the job. Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to
determine the correct amount of ballast. Be sure to
include the weight of the Weight Box when determining
how much weight can be added to the box.
The Weight Box should be unhooked from the tractor
when rear ballast is not needed.
Make sure the box is stable before adding weight to it.
One method to stabilize the box would be to attach the
box to the tractor’s 3-point hitch.
1. Park tractor and Weight Box on solid, level ground.
Lower the box until it is resting on the ground.
2. Shut tractor down according to
3. Add material to the Weight Box until the
recommended weight is reached. Make sure you
know the weight of the material being added to avoid
exceeding the recommended weight.

Suggested materials to use would be crushed
rocks, rocks, concrete pieces, iron scraps, and
other coarse materials that will not retain moisture.

and accelerates rust.
IMPORTANT:
If the rear tires are filled with liquid
ballast, check with the tractor Operator’s Manual to
verify if it is OK to add additional ballast on the rear
of the tractor.
