If your going to have a front end loader, you can have most any dealer "load" the tires (with a liquid, usually either beet juice or calcium chloride) that adds enough weight to the rear so you don't need to hook up a ballast box. This is ideal if you are using a rear blade or other attachment along with the FEL. Tire loading is also cheaper, or was in my case. I have beet juice-loaded tires on my 2350. Take care - Ben
