The h needed I little more weight

I wish you luck, but I think you're not gonna enjoy the sloshing action when moving. Can you cut off the top 3/4 of cage, remove the bladder, and fill what's left with cinder blocks or firewood?
 
I think you would be better off with wheel weights , you get that much weight on each end of that little H and you are going to find the weakest point of the middle sooner or later.
 
I would limit that to about 1000 pounds, so about 120 gallons, add in some jello and no more sloshing.
 
Do you find your rear ballast not only puts weight on rear wheels, it also removes weight from front wheels?

In my opinion what you did is much better than ballast in tires.

A friend of mine had a loader like that with some weight on the back -- more on the back means more lift --right? broke that poor H right in
half -- be carefull with that ! Oh -- gotta go - Clint Eastwood on the tube-- Roy
 
I would agree with that, but the H's are weak in the middle and tend to break.

You are creating a situation that the tractor was not designed for.
 
Looks like an excellent way to make a
two piece tractor, those tractors really
were never designed with loaders or
large mounted rear impliments in mind so
your asking a lot of the bellhousing.
 
Great comments I was only moving empty farrawing crates used what was handy just needed traction was slippery out today had that problem in the past slushin wasn't a issue only using 1st and reverse

in the picture its 3/4 full had it at half worked great when done drained and removed tank

I would not try to lift more then it could handle like said its a little tractor and only a mid mount loadèr

I do know better I just thought it was a neat ide didn't know if anyone could use it only as quick temporary traction not for more lift compacity

I don't want calcium in any tires ruins the rims and wheel weight are expensive around here
For that once in a while temporary use like this is cheap and worked great

The cement block idea would work as well

The hyds. Are from the belly pump and it won't let me overload it

The exhaust pipe needs to be cut off lol just had it laying here and it fits snug right inside the manifold

Chains would of worked too if I get a set someday

Just an idea I thought I would share my girlfriend and a Buddy thought I lost my mind when I was conjuring it up but that's OK

Behind every good idea is a women saying won't work.
Lol it worked great I was happy with it and don't break my back taking it on or off
Thanks for commenting

You don't like the idea of mixing in Jello?

Just be careful and limit the loader, it is neat idea.
 
Jello wouldn't be a bad idea but for taking on a off draining the water works good if I was to leave on permedently I would fill half full and let freeze

Another idea I had was filling 5 gallon pails let freeze make a platform on back add weight as needed
