If you must abuse your tractor and need to add a ballast in the rear, you should keep the weight as low to the ground as possible.

Depending on the load, in some cases you need to have weight behind the rear tires to fully utilize the front end loader's capabilities.
We have a tractor at work that has to have weight behind the back wheels or the front axle is overloaded when they lift the pusher box that is on the loader.
The pusher box is within the loaders capabilities, but the front axle is overloaded if they pick up the pusher box.

The attachment point at lower lifting arms are as close as I can get them without touching arms were they curve in.

You hit the nail on the head, will be using with pallet forks and loader work to take stress off front axle.
