Ballast ym 1500 weights

[rickcee]

I just purchased a new to me yanmar 1500. So far it seems like just what i was looking for. However with the 4' bush hog attached the front end will not stay on the ground. Anyone have any suggestions for front end weight? How much weight?

Hang up to 200# of "suitcase weights" on the front bumper.
