Thank you for your suggestions. Yes M7060 and yes tires are filled. Wheel weights are an option but was hoping to do a quick attach rack with suitcase weights easier on and off for me.

You could just sink a 3 point attachment in a concrete barrel and call it good. 
There's an ideaYou could just sink a 3 point attachment in a concrete barrel and call it good.
I run eight 102lb suitcase weights on the front of the M6060 when the loader is removed and I have two more that won't fit on the factory weight bracket. I also have six smaller weights (50lb) that came with a rear hydraulic blade that I bought used.
Last year I started to build a custom 3-point weight rack that I could use primarily as a storage rack for the suitcase weights, but also use as rear ballast on occasion. My point is that a rear weight box or some kind of box or barrel filled with concrete is a one-trick pony, but if you don't need front weights this is a much cheaper option than suitcase weights.
Since I have 16 suitcase weights I would never make up or buy a ballast weight box for the rear but I completely understand why many do. I need to finish the weight rack that I started. I have quite a bit done, and plenty of steel to finish it up.
My point is that if you have a need for front weights, then a way to use them as rear ballast makes a lot of sense to get more use out of the investment. But if you don't need front weights, then a barrel filled with concrete, or a steel box, or a concrete block from a form is a much more cost effective solution.
