Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrbb" data-source="post: 124323" data-attributes="member: 13825">I cannot say how much counter weight you will need or want, but  would guess , this comes down to how heavy the blower is,, then other factors like what is your wheel base and where weight sits on your machine when empty,  and tail over hang , farther the weight hangs past rear wheels if you follow every machine is different!I can tell you, there are aftermarket company's that sell counter weights for skid steers and like machines, the only issue with aftermarket might be how they mount, the OEM"s tend to have thing set up from factory to mount easy and  not be in the way, or the better designed one's do. thus you will pay for using OEM parts , ,you can also some times find used  weights at scrap yards that take in HD equipment or farm  tractors and such, along with sites like Ebay and craigslist, facebook market place and so on! pending how creative you are or skills and equipment you have, , will determine maybe what you can Build to mount yourself I also, know on some machines you can add things like bumpers that work as counter weights, adding both weight and well some extra protection from basking into things, I would gather there is also an aftermarket market making them as well next food for thought, you say you have a snow bucket, HOW large of a bucket is it, , its pretty easy to go too large and that will cause a lot of traction issues,  just saying,  and yes 100% I hear you on the difference in having  a disclaimer and having damage , why I always suggest having a good lawyer write things up, to try and save the legal down time later on! best of luck to you!</blockquote>
