I have a kubota M5640SUD with a loader 72" bucket rear tires loaded to 75% fill . problem is if i pick up a full bucket of wet ground the rear end gets scarry light I dont want to hang a 3 point attachment off of the hitch because of loss of manuverability "not enough room" how much rear wheel weight would you add ?

It must be a kubota thing. My smaller kubota does the same thing with a heavy load on the bucket. I too have the tires loaded. Its scared the #$%$ out of me a couple times. I hook something on the back when doing heavy work but like you said, its a pain in the butt to have to do so.
Read your owners manual !! I'm sure they tell how much counter weight is recommended for loader use. May be in the loader manual. It takes an awful lot of weight on the rear of these new tractors to hold them down as the loader lift capacitys have went up and the tractors are made lighter.
Bshugarts, Since the rears are loaded,can you add more liquid to get them to 80% or maybe 90% full, Check out what factory Kubota wts are available, if any! or aftermarket wts!! You might have to build a wt rack to add some sort of suitcase wts.
Do this if you are in regular loader service duty.
If it is, on occasion then..........
After that then the easiest way it to rig a 55 gal barrel on a 3pt fashion, add soil for wt, that should do do the trick, It will get you the wt needed and not stick out in the rear too much.
Hope this helps!

PS I just reread your post,And thought of something else.... This option will get you more wt but it will reduce ride quality, Solid fill the tires with that hard foam might work I am just not sure it is the way to go!
