The ballast box is nice overall, but be aware that it will not be perfect. Mine arrived with the packaging pretty beat up and torn. Paint was worn off in several places where the cardboard rubbed against the metal. Even in places that were wrapped the paint was worn off. One of the support arms was slightly bent which appears to have been caused when it was welded. I was able to connect it to my tractor without any issues. I grabbed a can of John Deere green spray paint to touch up the areas where the paint rubbed off. To my surprise the ballast box is a different shade of green, so the touch up looked horrible. I then painted the rest, no big deal. Overall it is built heavy enough for my needs. I filled it with solid concrete blocks and sand.
