Key Features & Benefits1. Enhanced Tractor Stability & Safety
This ballast box is fundamentally designed to protect your tractor's front axle and improve operational safety. By adding substantial weight to the rear of the tractor, it counterbalances heavy loads on the front-end loader or other front-mounted attachments. This weight transfer:

• Prevents Front-End Tip-Overs: Reduces the risk of the tractor tipping forward when lifting heavy loads.
• Improves Traction: Shifts weight to the rear drive wheels for better grip and pushing/pulling power.
• Reduces Strain: Minimizes stress on the weaker front axle and steering components, extending tractor lifespan.

2. Heavy-Duty 800 LB Capacity Construction
Built from robust alloy steel, the box itself provides significant weight. Its reinforced design can additionally support up to 800 pounds of external ballast material (such as concrete blocks, sandbags, or weight plates) placed inside, allowing you to customize the counterweight to perfectly match your front implement's requirements.3. Integrated 2-Inch Hitch Receiver
The built-in standard 2-inch hitch receiver adds significant versatility, allowing you to tow trailers, move utility carts, or attach other hitch-mounted implements (like hitch carriers or accessories) directly to the ballast box¡ªturning your counterweight into a multifunctional towing station.4. Practical 5-Cubic-Foot Storage Compartment
Beyond just adding weight, this box functions as a secure, lockable storage chest for your tools and accessories. The 5-cubic-foot interior is ideal for organizing wrenches, chains, straps, gloves, and other frequently used equipment, keeping them protected from the elements and readily accessible in the field.5. Durable All-Steel Powder-Coated Build
Manufactured from heavy-gauge alloy steel for maximum durability and longevity. The attractive red powder-coated finish provides superior resistance against rust, corrosion, scratches, and UV damage, ensuring the unit withstands harsh outdoor storage and rugged farm use.6. Universal Category 1 Tractor Compatibility
Designed to fit the standard three-point hitch system found on most compact and sub-compract tractors (Category 1). This includes popular models from brands such as John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and many others. The universal linkage points ensure straightforward attachment and detachment.
