I am not sure how you are wanting the weight to benefit ya. Traction on the rear, or for stress reliever on the front (for the power steering)???

Any weight added to the back wheels whether it be fluid, chains, or wheel weights, will only benefit in traction and won't relieve any stress on the front axle and power steering. But if weight is added to the 2 point or 3 point (not sure which your 350 utility has) will aid in both traction and stress relief for the front. The added weight needs to create a fulcrum as your loader does, to relieve weight stress to the opposite axle.

For a snow pushing loader tractor, I think rear tire chains would be a must. Almost a have to thing. Night and day difference with or without. Added wheel weight (fluid or wheel weights) wouldn't hurt anything. Add as much weight there as your liking. And for a counter balance for the front axle, I'd add weight to the 2 or 3 point. Atleast half the estimated weight of the loader. Adding a heavy duty rear blade would be a good thing for starters. And then adding weight to the rear blade would be a good idea for the rest if you don't think the weight of the rear blade will be enough.
