Adding Ballast to HitchThree ballast box options are available as attachments:
Use sand, concrete or tractor weights in box to meet ballast requirements. A 3-point hitch implement may be used as ballast, but it must meet weight required. The following chart shows approximate total weights of the box with ballast materials. Use it as a guideline to add ballast to your tractor hitch. |
