How much ballast for an MX6000?

Thats nice. How much you reckon it weighs? Are them R4's loaded?
I believe it is around 1900, maybe close to 2000lbs. The frame is I beams and C channel, all filled with cement. I personally wanted close to the 3pt lift capacity so I could use the loader safely, especially when I am using the grapple and moving firewood. If I am doing firewood, I split oak and stack it in 4'x4'x4' metal bins and it is close to the max lift if damp. I mostly only can lift it a foot or so with the counterweight on the rear of the tractor. Without the counterweight, there is no way to lift it safely even though my rear R4 tires are loaded.

I'm investing in this thread at 3 pages, very bullish on this.
Considering identical threads have gone tens if not hundreds of pages, this one should be a beaut!
Nah, I think this one is done. What was needed said is said. People can read and make their own informed opinions. But facts are there for all to read
