Bagger mount weight bracket?

[Ifixoldjunk 739]

I had a bit of an idea for my 310-8. I’m thinking about making a weight bracket that kinda slides onto the factory wheel horse bagger mounts. Anyone ever do anything like this before? How much weight do you think the bagger mounts could hold? I probably wouldn’t put anything past 50lbs on it.

Kinda like the modern craftsman weights they mount to the rears of the tractor. I’d figure it’ll help counter balance the blower in winter

I built a box that just fits between the bagger supports. Attached with hooked pipe brackets.  The box just slides down when the brackets align with the supports.  I also added a brace at the back of the box that runs down to the hitch and I just put a hole in the brace and attach it with a hitch pin to the hitch.  Mine is sized to accept two concrete blocks.  I have a blade to push snow and

install it for added weight and traction.  I have used it for many years with no issues.

Oh cool. I’ll definitely have to build one now.
