Methods for front concrete weight system? - for an H

I've got an H I recently fabricated a 3-pt fork-lift attachment for. The front has a rock box that is chained to a snowplow frame and, needless to say, it's pretty awkward. I'm wondering if anyone has fashioned a front rack or box and used concrete 'bricks' to serve in place of a suitcase weight arrangement. The snowplow frame will give me a place to mount such a platform. I'm hoping someone has worked out the these-sized-concrete-blocks-will-give-you-this-much-weight homework . . . plus any other tips from someone who's been there.

TIA

Here are some ideas. You could also try front wheel weights or look at some pulling tractors. Remember that iron or steel weighs twice that of concrete. Lead is even better. How about mercury filled front tires? Mercury has a specific gravity of 13. Just kidding on the heavy liquid metal but why not fill some oversized tires with CaCl for starters.
 
That's an interesting observation, LOL. Perhaps I should attach corkscrews to the rear axles for spliting wood. A center mount sickle bar mower would complete the package. Just think about all those scissors.

This is how we build two-way plows here in the northeast. No need to turn around at the headlands.
