Simple Tractor Counterweight TRACTORS Accessories 34-1-19 "I made a counterweight for my 50 Series Allis Chalmers tractor with a Class I hitch. The weight is made out of a piece of 24-in. dia., -in. thick wall pipe with brackets to fit the 3-pt. hitch," says Ramon Barrett, Kenai, Alaska.
He cut out a section at the top of the pipe, and ran a rail across the top of the two sides. Then he poured concrete into the bottom half of the pipe for weight. There's a trailer ball attached to the back of the pipe to tow a trailer without removing the weight.
Barrett uses the counterweight when operating a boom on front of the tractor to haul spruce trees to his bandsaw sawmill.
