Fill the tyres up with water!
Your weight is we’re you want it then on the ground.

Add antifreeze. Calcium chloride will eat the rim. You’ll have stodgy handling with water in the tyres and fixing punctures will be a serious pain but it is the cheapest way of adding ballast.

Just let it out in the winter.
I drove a 7530 for a while with a 6 furrow heavy Kuhn plough, it was that heavy for the tractor it wouldn’t lift it to full height on the linkage.
Had over a ton on the front it was like a bucking bronco, filled both front tyres to the top it was brilliant, so stable and it stiffened the suspension up as it wasn’t creating a rocking effect like piling more weight on does.
