I'd try to figure out how much weight it's going to take to keep the front down. Too much makes steering hard and wears things out faster. You know what happens when you don't have enough. I'd hang the heaviest thing you have off the 3 point (the only reason for front end weights is 3 pt mounted stuff). Then see if your own weight is enough, if not, add the wife, kids, feed bags, etc. Figure out what that weight is (add 20 or so for the wife), then add another 50 or 100 to make sure. Suitcase weights are the easiest to work with. IH weights are 100 pounds a pop and a weight bracket is easy enough to make.
