Nice. I am torn on getting a ballast box or just using my back blade. I don't imagine needing the ballast box much but maybe I am wrong.

FYI for others Titan is finally shipping a complete carry all. Costs more than building one yourself but comes assembled and is made out of steel.

K, check out these pics on how a guy built his carry all to use a pallet. I think this is what you wanted to do.

Close to $15k isn't that great. People compare these to the X700 series of JD mowers. Where the primary function of the machine is mowing and you add attachements so it can use a loader, 3pt lift, PTO, etc.

There is a lot of overlap in cost/features between the high end 4x4 mowers and the low end sub compact 4x4 tractors.
