    You can always hang some extra weight on the scraper box if you want more counterweight and it'll add to the down pressure.

    The box is a Kubota unit just about the same price as a non name brand the nice part is it is right on the box for BX 300 lbs for B I think it was 450 so 10 concrete blocks 4x8x16 soild cap blocks should weigh about 320 ish according to what I could find will weigh one when I get them and see. Tonight taking a 3pt hitch 6 foot grader blade off the bed of a truck with one clamp on fork dead center on the bucket. I could tell she was a bit light in the ass with that much weight up at almost full height of the bucket. I did not get the quick attach setup as it takes 100 lbs off your lift capacity and I really do not have a need for any other attachments. If I use the forks 3 times a year I will be impressed. If I had the need and larger property I would have went up one size to get the R1 industrial tires put the quick attach on as they are using skid steer style attachments now so I could get a regular plow, sweeper, snow blower, grapple etc if I needed or wanted to.

    Don't get too wrapped up with the counterweight thing. You'll soon figure out what you'll be doing the most and the limitations of the machine and make adjustments. Quick attachments are nice to have but not a must have. Forks, you can always buy or make a set that hang on top of the bucket so you can simply roll the bucket into them and not have to pull bucket pins or latches or whatever set up it has. There are a ton of directions and optional ways to do things that are pretty much limited by your imagination.

    It's nice to get matching implements but aftermarket brands are sometimes way less expensive. It's just what your flavor is.

    Hello everyone. My name is Chili and I am 54 years old.
    I took my '17 TRD off road out for three days and two nights of offroading by my old ass lonesome. Found out I don't really like setting up camp and breaking camp by myself very much.

    I wouldn’t or don’t wheel my truck other than putting it to work around here. Getting some pinstripes though but don’t want to trim the bushes.

    No leaks so far.
    I'm with ya. I'm going to the small engine shop today. a lot of snowblowers to service. The odd thing is that usually happens only after the first big snow.
