Ballast toolbox: balances the tractor, carries your workshop into the field and protects your equipment — in one unit.
A workshop brought to the field. Which also balances the tractor.
Ballast toolbox: balances the tractor, carries your workshop into the field and protects your equipment — in one unit.
A heavy implement mounted at the rear unloads the tractor's front axle — slip, fuel and tyre wear increase, while steering and safety decline. Classic ballast solves only part of the problem. Ryetec goes further: it is a sealed, lockable tool box with ballast, LED lighting and full personalisation. You balance the tractor and always have a workshop with you — tools, parts, fuel, everything to hand and under lock and key.

What stands behind Ryetec machines
Ballast that restores steering control
A machine mounted at the rear unloads the front axle — wheels spin, fuel and tyre consumption rise, steering suffers. The safety rule is that with the rear implement raised, at least ~20% of the tractor's mass should remain on the front axle. Correct weighting keeps wheel slip within the optimal range of 8–15%. Ryetec adds mass where it is needed — at the front — and at the same time turns it into a useful toolbox.
Workshop brought to the field
Instead of dead ballast — a sealed, lockable toolbox with rubber mat, LED lighting, space for tools, parts, grease gun and oils. No more trips back to base for a spanner or jack: repairs on the spot, in the field. The Standard and SmartBox lines include working lights, side lights and indicators as standard.
Flexible mass: WeightBox, WorkBox, belly
WeightBox is a box with a fixed concrete weight; WorkBox is the same box without fixed weight — more room for tools, with mass added by belly weights (500–1300 kg) with quick coupler, removable without a forklift. Ballast needed constantly or only occasionally — the configuration is chosen to suit the mode of work.
Four lines for different farms
WeightBox / WorkBox LT — economical entry point with a real toolbox. Compact — interchangeable 3-point or close-coupled mounting, enhanced weight effect for compact and special tractors. Standard — universal machine with the widest range of options, front or rear mounting, up to 2000 kg (HD). SmartBox — flagship premium line with side cabinets and full lighting.

- 03Safety — restored steering control (rule of "min. ~20% of tractor mass on the front axle"), LED lights and warning markings
- 04Flexibility — belly weights with quick coupler added and removed without a forklift (500–1300 kg)

Wielka Brytania
Ryetec Industrial Equipment Ltd. is a British manufacturer of front weights in the form of tool boxes with ballast. RUTHENIA ALBA is the authorised distributor of the brand in Poland. Ryetec does not build “concrete blocks”: it builds a separate category — a workshop brought to the field that additionally balances the tractor. The customers are large farms, service providers and enthusiasts for whom quality, features, appearance and local support matter, not the lowest price.

Conversation with an engineer.
The most common questions we hear from farms before purchase.
We have collected the questions we most often hear from farms before purchase — and the answers from our engineers. Every answer is based on verified knowledge of the machine.
- manufacturer's materials

- questions asked by farms
Answers based on the experience of thousands of farms in Europe.
Cat. 2 mounting is standard; for Cat. 3 and tractors without a front linkage we offer dedicated mounting solutions. Give us the make and model — we will check.
It depends on your heaviest rear-mounted machines and the tractor's mass. Typically 600–1500 kg. We will help you choose so as to keep at least ~20% of the mass on the front axle without overpaying for fuel on excess weight.
WeightBox — when ballast is needed all the time. WorkBox — when capacity matters more, and you add "belly" weights as needed.
Yes — full colour personalisation and a farm name plate (optionally illuminated).
The lead time depends on the configuration and production schedule — we confirm it when ordering, together with the manufacturer's warranty terms and the scope of service.
Send the tractor make and model and your heaviest machines — we will prepare the ballast selection and a quotation.
