I have weights for my small cub cadet. I think they are 75-80lbs each. About 20lbs more than I could handle without killing myself or breaking something.
All I did was build a small platform that put the weights at the correct height. I would lift the weight on the platform and slide them into place. One of the things I've found handy is the have and extra threaded rod on hand that it is longer than required to help get things started.

Not sure what your design is but is really doesn't need to be too elaborate to work. The nice thing about the platform was I didn't have to counter balance anything.. Just push up to the wheel and put the weight on and go.
