optimal counterweight weight?

I have a 39 HG with a later Ware loader and bodywork. I finished fixing the bucket blade yesterday and went to move some ground asphalt. Heavy stuff. When i lifted a full scoop I rocked on the front idlers, and thought I was going to get launched so lowered it and moved slow letting it bounce when i backed up.
What does the standard counterweight weigh for a Ware loader on an OC3?
 
The OC 4 loader used two 400 pound weights, I think the HG loader would be close to the same.
 
How much more does an OC4 weigh than an OC3? I have a bunch of big iron barbell weights, I will make a pin for the rear trailer hitch reciever and just add until it feels right
 
The OC 4 with loader and counter weight is about 7000 pounds. I am not sure of the weight of the HG or OC3 and loader.

Nice, Thank You. 800 is a number I can work with. My mounting will have to be removable and the toolbar hydraulics will mean I won't have to lift the iron
