I recently bought a 40xt for farm use. wondering what the best idea ( if any ) to add rear weight to lift heavier objects ( bales, bulk seed ). needed a smaller sized machine to clean barn out yet seems big enough for bigger jobs.. any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Ryan
 
I'd start buy seeing what the factory has to offer, then use that as a guide line to where and how much weight to add if you don't like their setup.
Bobcat has weights that clamp on either axel, and Deere and NH use suitcase weights hung on a bracket. Others Just bolt some steel on the tailgate, or bottom rear, or rear loader towers. Tracks, foam or liquid filled tires also come to mind.
