Weights Added To 3-Pt Mounted, 7-Ft. Box Blade Offset Disk
 ✖  |
I needed additional weights on my 3-pt. mounted, 7-ft. box blade and also on my 8-ft. offset disk. I wanted the weights to look neat on the implement and easy to remove. So I used lengths of salvaged 17-in. wide steel I-beam and blocked off the ends of the I-beams to make "weight boxes" that hold 16-in. long solid concrete blocks. The blocks fit perfectly into the boxes and can be laid on their sides or edges. Either way, they fit securely without shifting. I can add as many blocks as I need. If I want the maximum weight, I stack the blocks on their edges. The weight box on my disk is 6-ft. long and the one on my box blade is 3 ft. long
On the box blade, I welded the holder on. On the disk, I cut slots into the top part of the implement and slid the weight box into them. To adjust the location of the weights I simply slide the box forward or backward. (Bud A. Beaston II, HC 67, Box 935, Skiatook, Okla. 74070)
