[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 851264, member: 5381"] You can make a good counterweight very easy with a few pieces of flat iron and a plastic tub like a protein lick comes in. If you have an old scrap 3 point implement you can salvage those parts. I made mine with 1/2 x 2 flat. Shape it like a T with two pieces coming up to attach to the top link and one piece going across with a angle clip on the end with a hole for the draw pin which sticks out the side. Build it where it is about half way from top to bottom in the tub Add 5 or 6 bags of concrete and a few other scraps of metal for strength and you have it. I like using one like this because it will fit up tight against the back of the tractor and lessen the chance of me backing into something when I am putting bales in the barn. Mine weighs about 600 lbs. [/QUOTE]
