Looks like a cool set up with the grain door so you can change material for the current need.
and apparently two cup holders too. Lol

Nice LSI have owned a 18 hp Kubota B7100 since ‘95, so I’m used to a smaller machine. If it’s a 4WD they can be much more capable than the size or horsepower might lead you to think.
I have this coming to add some weight to the rear. Should help when doing work with the FEL. The box weighs 108lbs and will hold up to 800 lbs more.
I ordered it from Walmart! Best price I found online and free shipping.I like that since it also has a receiver hitch. Perfect if you need to move a trailer while it’s on there. Can you send me the link where you are getting it from?
Probably sell it eventually. I will post it on this site first when I decide to sell.Nice LS
Whatcha doing with the old tractor?
I have some hooks in hand already for just this purpose. I’m planning on adding about 400 lbs of concrete to start. That should give me about 500lbs total, I will see how that works and if needed will add a bit more. That should also leave enough room to store chains, straps, etc. too.Looks like it has tubes for long handled tools (shovel, rake, etc.). Very handy! I would use one of those tubes to store 20' of 5/16" grade 70 chain. You may want to bolt or weld some hooks onto the top leading edge of the front bucket. I use my hooks as much as I use my bucket.
I don't think you'll want to fill that ballast box up to capacity. Might be a bit too much for the rear lift. 400 to 500lbs total weight should be plenty to offset a full FEL bucket. I have my subframe mounted backhoe most of the time as my counterbalance, but sometimes I have a 5' box blade (about 450lbs) mounted, and it works fine for a full bucket.

I like the FEL level indicator on yours. I had to make one for mine since it’s almost impossible to tell from the seat if it’s level or not.

I also just ordered a quick connect for my 3 pt hitch. Too dang aggravating to get stuff hooked up the old way
