My B6001 started to lose ground contact with the front wheel when my rear box was full of firewood. I when understod that I needed front weights.
I looked at what was laying around and found what remained of a alternator from a generator. I when soldered a 180 mm bit of L-shaped iron to it and fixed the rotor with zip ties. So I had 25 kilos on the front resulting in better ground contact!
Not beautiful but working!:D

Whatever gets the job done. I think the orange paint is a nice touch.
