Just read the manual to my 420 loader. It states if on a 4300 tractor, I should have 6 wheel weights or fluid in the tires to use the loader. My tractor has neither...it also suggest weight for the ballast with either of those. What weight should i go with? Was thinking about 800lbs. Thanks
Your 3Pt hitch can lift 2200lbs and since your tires are not loaded I would recommend 1000 or 1200 lbs. Search TBN for Homemade ballast designs and make sure it hangs out behind the 3pt.Just read the manual to my 420 loader.

Well I ended up making a box 27x26x16. 6.5cuft, used about 11 80lb bags of quikrete. The calculation says abit over 800lbs.
