    Hello, I have 10 big disks to move, I need ideas on ballast box , I have seen a few but never looked at them as I did not think about it now I need the traction both to hold it on the down hill and the up. What do guys use? Needs to be removable. Was thinking 4-6 k lbs ? I will make it so I can add /remove weight depending on the iron I am pulling.

    Will you make it with a kingpin lock or something where it sits over the 5th wheel and then tie on to the frame?
    Some states have funny rules about them. I know Ia. does as I was talking with a guy who does pintle hook tow aways and he is Ia. based..
    Talk with some of the bigger rigging compaines or the really good specialed guys with push pull operations.
