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.
