David here are the specs for the KL-401 loader which your tractor should have:
Fits KIOTI DK40SE, DK45SE, & DK50SE tractors.
Maximum Lift Height 107.8"
Rated Flow (Tractor System) 10 GPM
Approximate Weight with Bucket 1284 lbs
Bucket Size Used for Specification 72"
Lift Capacity to Full Height at Pivot Pins 2,761 lbs
So if you took even the 2/3 of loader capacity as a target for the ballast. .66X2761=1822 lbs. I don't think your 1600 lbs. would be far off. As your 3pt lift capacity is north of 2400 lbs you would still have an 800 lb. reserve capacity.
