3000 Ford needs ballast

Need to get some ballast on the rear end for a Ford 3000 w loader. 2wd. Claims say 5 cu.ft. cat 1 box will hold 800 #s. Is that workable to just leave the box on the tractor?
 
The lift capacity on the 3 point of a 3000 is around 1700 lbs., so an 800 lb. ballast box shouldn't be a problem. I would lower it to the ground whenever the tractor is parked, both for safety and to remove the pressure from the internal seals while that pressure isn't really needed.
 
Sounds like an ideal fix but a bit far for me (western Indiana).
Thanks for posting. If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me how many pieces, their individual weight and do they bolt to lug bolts? Seen the donut ones, and I think I know what you have but haven't used, curious.
