    My guess it's for weight balance when lifting.

    Wrong country aren't they from Belgium or Austria or some such thing it be the save the rest of the parts of me that have not been rebuilt. As a mower it is way over kill for a half acre but as a snow mover, gravel mover, machine mover or anything heavy well it will be nice to have something that can go across the driveway . The engine cherry picker does not do well on gravel lol

    I wouldn't waste your money on that gimmick. I can't see how it would ever be useful. The bucket, the way it is, works well enough. Just my thoughts based on my farming years.

    I have no need of one lol , from what I gather it is designed to clear light weight brush and such no idea if it works or not stumbled across it looking for bucket hooks and a 3 pt trailer attach setup.

    Instead of the rear weight, I bought the box scraper. Adds weight plus I use it for grooming the gravel yard.

    I debated a box scraper the drive way is 2 1/2 cars wide and 4 cars but two things made me go with the weight box. 1 this model can not take industrial tires so I am stuck with turf or ag tires . Ag tires would destroy my fine green weed yard more then it already is. The second part is to push any amount of snow with turf tires I need weight and chains we get a lot of ice with our snow so the box blade I do not think would give me that. Moreover, with the weight lift capacity the box blade would not off set lift as well as a 350 lb weight box. I did just pick up a grader blade for the 3pt I can use it to keep the drive way flattened and plow if need be ..well that is the plan anyhow :}

    Not a bad idea. It'll even lessen the friction and make loading loose material a little easier. But if you want to clean up on a harder surface the "smooth" bucket makes life easier. I need to get a smooth bucket. I have material piles that are on hard surface, but the teeth on my loader bucket are pretty aggressive and it doesn't take much to scar the asphalt or pull up material that's under the pile and contaminate it. I did order a sweeper broom for cleaning up after I pull road edges. It's hydraulic but only has manual angle adjust. But, since I won't be doing snow removal, I really don't need to change angles. I'll probably get it set and leave it.
