I would say even if you bought all the weights it would not be enough. The 990 weights are only 42 lbs a piece. If you got 6 of them that is only 252 lbs. The extension bracket with 12 mounted would probably do it, but that is also a lot of $$ in weights and the bracket. I assume you are trying to save $$s because you won't have a loader.

My dealer wanted me to get the MX6, but I felt it was too heavy. He had me take one home and run all over with it to see. If you don't have a loader, you will certainly need all the front weights, maybe a route other than Deere's. I'd also consider loading the front tires with foam and adding wheel weights. Or get a loader!
I love the MX, but you might be better off with another brand, to get something with the .25 inch sidewalls, without being as heavy as the MX...

certainly slow you down in the rough stuff.
