I finally broke down and ordered a weight bracket and some weights today. My better half convinced me that I should “do it right “ and buy the proper parts instead of “making a mess of it”.
CASH277 is right!

Hell tractor ballast can even save your life...

My dealer has the weights in stock but had to order the bracket. Bracket, $110 + $25 freight. Weights, $75 each. O’ well it’s just money. My main concern is that I have to remove all that when I put my loader back on then put it all back on again when I need the front weights. That sucks!

If you think that sucks, wait till you start lifting those 55 pound weights. Don't forget to order the weight bolt kit. The old number was BL8062, however, I can't find that part number on the Messicks web sight. You will need 2 of these bolt kits, however, iIf you are going to be using more than 2 weights, you can run a 1/2" threaded rod through the weights to hold them together, and only need the special bolt kits at each end. For those that wonder why you need to buy the bolts from Kubota, instead of using locally purchased bolts, the reason is that the nut is welded to a special plate to hold it in place as you tighten the bolt. You can't get to the nut easily once it is in place, unless you want to lay on your back and reach up with a socket and extension every time you put them on or take them off. I already traveled this road before buying the bolt kits.
