With our growing homestead we have been using Jonathan the John Deere tractor a lot more and need to add ballast for safe loading. Looked around and can get a ballast box ready made for about $350 and then fill it with concrete for another $30…or Make a
660lb Concrete Tractor Ballast for $60! Building this DIY weight saved hundreds of dollars!

We were able to use all scrap metal and wood we had on hand to make the ballast frame and the form to pour the concrete.
