Lochen’s . . . I used to live in Cedarburg. Went to them all the time. Sucks they don’t sell Fords anymore.

They sold ford once upon a time, that must have been a little while ago.

How is the concrete ballast weight working out? Is 1,300 the right amount? Seems like most people only get to 800-1000 lbs with concrete. I will be getting an MX soon and thought 800 probably was not enough.

It is still holding up! I did put concrete sealer a few months after it was cast. Since the rear can lift over a ton, I would say the right amount would have been just below that 😉. Though... a bigger weight probably would be annoying to drive around with. The size of the one I made feels just right. I usually only have to hook up the weight when I am unloading off a flatbed. I was able to pick up a 1,500lb plow to about half height. I still felt a little light in the rear... so if you could get more weight without it being unwieldy, go for it! if you are planning on moving large round bales, 800lbs would likely be fine. To be safe, fill the tires or add wheel weights as well. Happy tractoring!
