Ballast Box

A ballast box is used to carry weight on the tractor hitch, if required, to help maintain tractor/loader stability.

Two ballast boxes are available:

  • Small ballast box (A) may be equipped with extensions. (See loader predelivery manual to assemble extensions.) Small ballast box has a Category I hitch. See tractor attachments or parts for conversion bushings.
  • Large ballast box has a Category II hitch.

See Adding Ballast to Hitch in Preparing The Tractor section for weight of box with different materials in it.
