Backpak™ Tractor Ballast Box

Backpak™ Tractor Ballast Box

The first time you lift a heavy bucket and feel the back wheels of your tractor go light, you learn a lesson you don’t forget. That floating, unstable feeling is your tractor telling you it needs more rear weight. The Backpak™ is the solution.

A heavy-duty, powder-coated steel ballast box that mounts to your 3-point hitch and stays there while you work. No complicated setup. No extra adjustments. Just solid rear ballast that keeps your tractor planted, balanced, and in control. And when you’re not using it for ballast, it pulls double duty as a tool carrier and even lets you tow small trailers — all without removing it from the tractor.

Available in three models — Mini, Workhorse, and Pro — to match your tractor’s horsepower and hitch category. Choose your color to match your machine. Price includes freight.

WHY BALLAST MATTERS

Your tractor is a seesaw with the rear axle as the fulcrum. When you lift a heavy load up front, the back end wants to rise. Proper rear ballast restores that balance — and the difference is immediately noticeable:

• Better Balance: Front wheels stay on the ground during heavy lifts
• More Traction: Rear wheels stay planted and working
• Reduced Front Axle Strain: Less stress on your tractor’s front end
• Safer Loader Work: More control when carrying heavy loads

MORE THAN JUST BALLAST

The Backpak™ is built to work as hard as you do, even when it’s not hauling ballast:

• Built-In Tool Carrier: Corner loops hold shovels, rakes, and long-handled tools securely — your most-used tools are always within reach right on the tractor
• Tow Small Trailers: The welded hitch tab lets you hook up a small trailer and tow it without removing the Backpak™ from the hitch
• Powder Coated: Heavy-duty powder coat finish stands up to mud, rain, heat, and cold — store it outside year-round without worry
• Pre-Drilled Tool Box Holes: Mount a toolbox directly to the Backpak™ for even more on-tractor storage
• Corner Drainage Holes: Water drains out automatically — no pooling, no rust traps
• Quick Hitch Compatible: Works with standard 3-point quick hitch systems

FILL IT YOUR WAY

The Backpak™ can be filled with concrete, sand, or gravel — letting you dial in exactly the weight your tractor needs for the job at hand. Light work? Fill it partway. Heavy loader work? Fill it up. You’re in control.
