Tire ballast does not take the place of 3pt hitch ballast for loader work. Doing fel work with no 3 pt ballast will kill the front axle components. May take a few years to see the damage.
Your definitely right but i haven't figured out what i can put on the back of my tractor that weighs over 1500 lbs and still maintains some level of maneuverability. 1800 lbs of rim guard and 1000 - 1500 lbs of rear ballast is barely enough for heavy loads. You need both types of ballast the more on the 3 pt the better.
