Jer,
Other than moving round bales it does not seem that you would need the weight? How do you feel about iron weight? I have 2 110's on each inside of my R1's. I need a ballast box when using the loader still, but it helps with traction and is not so heavy that it packs the ground real bad.

Your turfs shoulf be wide and would hold a lot of liquid. That would make them hard to change each year also.

I would guess that a little iron might be better?

Jer,
I have issues with a light rear with 440 pounds of iron and a normal ballast box full of protland when using my bucket in damp soil. I have thought about getting the extension, but I think its over priced.

Do you have any issues with your current setup? Do you lift the rears with your current setup or feel light? Are your current tires filled?

IMHO Sand is not heavy enough.

Portland can be found at home depot! My normal box took 8 bags if I recall correctly. The extension I plan to make will be like Randy's. Part weight and part a tool box. I also have a bunch of metal water pipe that I plan to add to the outside for shovels and stuff. Right now I am too busy playing with my new iPad and MacBook....lol....:lol:
