Yes, if you don't have weight in front bucket and you can extend the rear ballast way behind the rear wheels. I made my ballast by filling small wheels with concrete and putting a 2 inch pipe though the middle.
IMHO, the only time you have too much rear ballast is when your front wheels lift off the ground.
A friend just bought a 55 hp TYM 4 wheel drive. His bucket is the same distance in front of his front wheels as the distance from front wheels to rear wheels. He has a box blade on the bad and a full bucket will lift his rear wheels off the ground.
I think his front bucket is 60 inches and lifting capacity of loader is around 2600. So if his bucket and what he puts in the bucket is a ton. A ton is removed from the rear wheels and then 2 ton show up on his front axle. In sand, his front wheels dig a hole and down he goes. So much for having a 4x4 without rear ballast.

My two cents, he needs all the weight his 3 pt can lift to off set some of the added weight on the small front wheels.

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
