I have a Branson F47Chn with a 4 in 1 front loader which is pretty heavy, can anyone give me an idea of what weight of ballast block should I put on my 3 point arms to counter my front loader please?

Many variables to that question. Are your rear tires filled with ballast? Are you going to run a grapple, or other heavy attachment on your FEL? Are you digging into hard dirt with the bucket, or just hauling loose gravel and sand?
I would run around half of your 3 point hitch lift rating in ballast on the rear, if it was me. If your rear tires are filled, then you could back that off and run a bit less weight. My thought is that within reason, you really can't have too much rear ballast when using the FEL.
