1635 ballast options?

[bldoink]

I have a 1635 with loader. I clearly need some ballast for loader work. The rotary brush mower works but gets in the way. The box blade isn't near enough. So, a ballast box, a weight rack like the heavy Hitch or the Titan clone that take suitcase weights, some sort of addition to the box blade to hold weight, or some other option? Wheel weights? I don't think I want to fill the tires. I not certain exactly which weights the Titan or Heavy Hitch attachments take. Suggestions please. Fairly specific suggestions are appreciated.

You can go with a ballast box put some pvc pipes in it so you can carry some tools and full it with concrete ............

Can't go wrong with filled tires. Adds about 450 lbs per side depending on what you use and your tire size and doesn't seem to affect the ride to me. That, plus my 72" box blade and I've never had the rear end come up. The loader will pecker out before the rear end raises...... on mine anyway.

Deere only recommends 45% fill for filled tires now. 3 pt ballast due to being further away from the pivot point is more effective.
