Adding a 10ft MM1 to the F600
Fresh contract came through and I've decided to throw a plow on my old F600. Found one today complete with plates and wiring for real short money.
This is a RWD dump truck with old school military lug style rear tires. I'm wondering how much weight I'm going to need in the back for proper traction. I will also be using this truck for trucking snow so Id like the weight to be easily removable by bobcat. Was thinking of palatalizing cinder blocks or something to that effect if need be. How much in LBS would you suggest?

Fill with concrete and insert 3 big u-hooks so you can lift in and out with a chain. Should maybe even use a plate at the end of the u-hooks so when it cures hard there is no chance of them popping out when lifting. Depending on tire size you use that should be plenty of weight and are easy to put in/take out and last for years.

The problem with mafia blocks is the dimensions and being set on bare steel. If not secured down very well you could have them sliding into the front of the bed causing major damage. Or even sliding back knocking out the tailgate and plopping on the ground.
The rubber of the tires will prevent a lot of the sliding going on and also provide for some bump relief if they do bounce into a sidewall or front of the bed. The tires also provide a better weight distribution with no top end weight and having to be secured. You can find cheap or even free old tractor tires if you look. Big farms and or tire dealers that otherwise would throw them out for recycling. You also can place large rocks in the inner part of the tire before filling with concrete to take up space without losing weight.

easy solution to that would be to make a little frame for them out of 2x6s
