Dearborn 19-42 Loader for 8N

I sure nuff wouldn't tie up my 3-Point carryall with 500# of ballast, its too usefull and loading and unloading 500# everytime I needed it would be a real PITA or is that PITB?

Anyways, do what everyone else does, make a permament 3-Point ballast with an 11 hole drawbar ($20, cheep) stuck thru 1/2 a barrel full of weights, like scrap iron or concrete.

Or you can get really fancy and build a box and cast concrete around another 3-point carryall frame ($60, cheep).

Or now that it is summer, maybe you can find an already built 3-point counterweight.

I'd use the same "limiter chains" that I use on my 500# brushog. $40 already made up, or DIY with plans made and posted by rossow or tyler(MD), do a search on the N-Board archives..... ....Dell

Thanks for the reply! I have already gone out and bout a (second) carry-all. The first one wasn't rated for much and was sorta flimsy. I'll use it for moving all sorts of stuff around in the summer....

The new carry-all is rated for 1000#...already has holes drilled all over it.....just fine. I was just going to get a plastic drim from work...fill it with gravel (which I can always use elsewhere). Come winter...I'd just roll it on the carryall....put a chain around it and go! I was planning on doing the concrete thing..... .but I have ready access to pea gravel/stone...and if need be....could use that during the summer for other projects! I a;ready (now) have two carryalls...so what the heck?

Anyway.....I'm still interested to know how to chain it "up". Do I chain it up...then shut off the hydraulics to the 3-point? I'll check with CT about those "limiter chains". I'm not sure what they'd look like..... Where would such chains be connected? I can't see any (good) fixed points on the rear that are at a good angle to hold.

Good answer !
