We've got a front press on the front linkage but thinking of a rear tank as apposed to a front tank as will be dropping it off and on several times and i like an easy life!
Out of interest what make of tractor as I know of a few people struggling to lift 4m kuhn combi drills with a certain breed of tractor in that hp class
 
Localish contractor used to have extra large external assister rams made for Ford 8340 with big 4m combi unit.
Anything is possible, until you snap it!
The original owner of my 4m folding amazone avant (just th ph and Coulterbar on the back) had it on a nh8360 new. He kept half shafts in stock he told me and could change one In a morning. The back bit is 4 ton.

I part exed a MF7618 in for a MF7726s. As much as the MF7618 didn’t like lifting my 3m Amazone super drill with seed in, I have no such concerns with the MF7726 even with a 4m combination.

Should be fine I just remembered that both cases were fendt and after I thought about it they were lifting the drill ok but couldn't keep the front end down with heavy 4m presses on . I was getting mixed up before

Our 8240 had oversize lift rams to pick a 4m combi up, complete with matching front press.

wen it was been run in for us by its first owner the gearbox let go.
dealer opened it up and noticed the bell housing was cracked. It was then braced up with side plates down both sides of the engine and a push bar that went down to the back axle.
