    The other day I was moving some large Red Oak logs and noticed even with the weight box out back on the three point, it could still feel light in the rear. I decided to use some steel discs I had been using for garden tractor wheel weights, and I mounted them onto the weight box. The 4 discs together are about an additional 190 lbs. The weight box I tried to make multi purpose. The sliding door reveals a hidden compartment for gloves, chains, etc. The sides I left open for carrying tools.

    I took some OEM wheel weights and replaced the steel discs with them.
