Shipping & Freight

Most equipment and attachments sold by Hardscape Heavy ship by parcel, LTL freight, or specialized freight depending on product size, weight, palletization, and destination.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access delivery, liftgate service, appointment scheduling, and other carrier requirements may affect final delivery handling.

Lead times vary by product type, manufacturer availability, selected options, and freight lane. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items may require additional processing time before shipment.

Buyers should inspect freight shipments at delivery before signing. If visible damage is present, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

The Top Dog Attachments Ballast Box is a three-point hitch counterweight box built for tractors in the 30–50 HP class. It mounts to the rear hitch and is filled on-site with concrete, sand, gravel, or other dense material to add up to 450 lbs of rear ballast — counterbalancing front-end loader attachments and reducing the risk of front-end lift during loaded operation.

Proper rear ballast also improves rear wheel traction on mud, loose gravel, snow, and uneven terrain, and reduces wheel slip under load — which translates directly to less tire wear and better fuel efficiency on the job.

Common Applications
- Counterbalancing pallet forks, loader buckets, and front-end attachments
- Improving rear traction on slippery or uneven terrain
- Stabilizing tractor operation during heavy lifting cycles
- General ballast for tractors running loader work daily

Selection Notes
- Designed for 30–50 HP tractors with a Category 1 three-point hitch
- Fill material not included — use concrete, sand, gravel, or equivalent dense material
- Confirm tractor rear hitch rated lift capacity accounts for ballast box weight when fully loaded
- Lead time of 2–4 weeks if not in stock — confirm availability at time of order

Ballast box mounts to the tractor's Category 1 three-point hitch lower arms. No top link connection is required for standard ballast use — the box hangs from the lower hitch pins and is lowered to the carry position during operation.

Box & Capacity
- Part #: 90390011
- Interior volume: 4.9 cu ft
- Max ballast capacity: 450 lbs of fill material
- Box dimensions: 25.5 in x 13.75 in x 24 in
- Empty weight: 155 lbs
- Total rear weight when fully loaded: up to 605 lbs

Mount & Interface
- Category 1 three-point hitch lower pin connection
- No hydraulic connection required
- No top link required for standard ballast application
- Compatible with 30–50 HP tractors with Category 1 rear hitch

Fill Material
- Fill with concrete, sand, gravel, water jugs, or equivalent dense material
- Concrete fill is permanent — use sand or gravel if you need to remove ballast seasonally
- Fill level and material density determine actual ballast weight achieved

Machine Notes
- Confirm tractor rear axle and hitch rated capacity before loading to maximum
- Lower box to transport position before towing on road — do not operate with box raised at full ballast weight
- Inspect hitch pin connections before each use

Included with Purchase
- 1 Top Dog Ballast Box (#90390011)

Not Included Unless Stated
- Fill material (concrete, sand, gravel — contractor supplied)
- Tractor

Note: Confirm exact included components and mount hardware with supplier at time of order.
