I don't have a loader yet, but I found 2 old combine rear wheel weights that fit nicely into the rear rims on my 1450. I bolted them in place with some high tensile all thread rod through the wheel weight mounting holes on the rim and weights. In addition to that I run 26x12x12 tires filled with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. I'm not sure what the antifreeze/water mix weighs, but the combine weights are 150 lbs. each.
I would guesstimate that's around 380 lbs+ total.
Just an idea for you if you haven't found anything suitable yet.
Farm sales or agriculture equipment salvage yards are good places to find weights and various other "adaptable" pieces.
