Fabbed up this Ballast Box for my L3400. Eventually I will probably fill it with concrete, but I tried it out filled with rocks. What a huge difference this makes with loader work etc.

**UPDATE: Added receiver hitch storage opposite the Chainsaw scabbard

That looks awesome. (Is that a trailer hitch hiding under it? ). Looks very well thought out with the hitch, tool holder and saw holder (is that a chain bucket with the saw holder? Very well done. 👍🥃

Thanks! Yes, I put a reciever underneath. The chainsaw holder is just stood off the side although you could store a chain or something in there if you closed the bottom.

Was it something before you started, or did you make it from scratch? Looks good and functional.
I made it from scratch. Looked at a couple online and sized it off of their basic dimensions.
