Winton 450kg Tractor Weight Box W‑WB450

Fit a loader to a compact tractor and the centre of gravity shifts forward — the front axle takes the punishment and the rear starts to skip. The W-WB450 puts 450 kg of downward force behind the rear wheels to bring the tractor back into balance.

Sized for a heavier front loader

This is the larger of the two Winton boxes, built for tractors carrying a heavier loader where lighter rear ballast isn't enough to settle the chassis once the bucket is loaded. Fill it yourself with sand or concrete, so the working weight is tuned to your loader and tractor — up to 450 kg laden.

Fit and footprint

The box hangs off a Cat 1 three-point linkage with a lower linkage spread of 41–62 cm, covering the bracket most compact tractors actually run. At 48 × 68 × 75 cm it sits tight behind the tractor without fouling rear wheels or blocking the view back. Empty weight is 65 kg, so it's liftable onto the pins and easy to store off-season.

What it does for the tractor

• 450 kg laden capacity — matched to a meaningful loader load, not just token ballast
• 65 kg empty — the linkage lifts the bare box easily before you fill it
• User-fillable with sand or concrete to dial in the exact counterweight you need
• Compact 48 × 68 × 75 cm footprint sits behind a small tractor without obstruction
• Cat 1 three-point linkage, 41–62 cm lower linkage width
• Reduces front-axle overload, easing wear on tyres, rims and axles
• Restores rear-wheel grip on slopes, wet ground and loose surfaces
