After rereading your post, I don't think my T5C could safely handle 2000 #. If I tried putting 2000# on the front bucket, it would transfer another 2000# of the tractor weight to the front tires. That would definately do some damage. Putting weight on the back hoe, bar bells, like I did would transfer weight to the back wheels. Ballast won't transfer anything.
Before getting 22 skids, make up a pallet loaded with cement block or something to make up a ton. Keep the load as close as you can to the front end. The weight of bar bells would have to be close to what you are lifting or you would have to extend it backwards, making it difficult to handle in a small space of a semi, unless it's a flat bed. If you had to remove it from a flat bed semi, then you will be dealing with another very dangerous situation, high center of gravity, which will cause you to tip over.
Don't really think your backhoe can lift as much as the front bucket.
Perhaps you can get smaller skids or a bigger dog.
Most round bales are less than 2000#. Try lifting one of those. Don't think SOOOO. George
