I figured out that i can probably add a square block of concrete, making a box form and use mesh inside plus rebar sticking out to go thru the cub hitch and a loop of cable to my new upper hitch. that would weigh about 200lb but be kinda big. I am getting prices from foundries for making that in cast iron.

Concrete = about 150lb per square foot. Iron is 491lbs per sq ft!.

17"w x 9"h and 16 deep (sticking off the rear diff by 16") 210lb

I dunno. sawdust IIRC pointed out the best weight is on the wheels themselves as it doesnt involve the wheel bearings. But I think they are pretty stout.

be nice to find reasonably priced BIg wheel weights and tire fluid. Calc Chloride is heaviest (by kind of a lot). Not sure where to get that around here will have to dig around. Might be expensive too and need a pump to push it thru the tire stem

My neighbor merely bought a snowblower at HD and was clearing snow in minutes after getting home so why al I doing all this? Oh thats right is more fun! lol
