Good timing on this post. I usually run my L3301 with a rear scraper blade, but I remove it sometimes when I have to get into thought spaces. I was thinking of getting a heavy hitch with suitcase weights. Has anyone got a recommendation?

You might try doing a "search" for "ballast", lots of solutions posted over time....
