Ballast For 5610?

[RotorWrench]

I was wondering if any 5610 owners operating a snowblower (around 970 lbs) on uneven or hilly terrain find it necessary or recommend using rear ballast. If I had a 5600 I would normally put weight or sand buckets in the bed to aid rear traction anyway, but on the 5610, if needed or recommended, I would probably just build me a ballast box like I used on the tractor.

I will be periodically using a 3 point drag blade on the rear but not sure it would be enough.
The sharing of any experience would be appreciated.

You don't need to as they are pretty well balanced and heavy. They are much better planted than a tractor is. If you do have a convenient weight, you could put it on but many videos show no weight. Here is a bunch of videos:
