Heavy Hitch Dual Bracket Clearance Issues

I have 16 of the 70lb weights I was going to put on the HH2DB I just got. First off, I can't put the weights on the inside bracket while it's attached to the tractor because I have to twist them to get them under the imatch top bar. Ignoring that, there's no way I'm getting 4 weights on a side because the far one hits the lower lift arm making it skew inwards. What am I doing wrong??

Edit: Apparently I am doing nothing wrong. Just because the HH website says it can hold 16x70lb weights (which is true) doesn't mean it will actually work on the tractor. I finally found this post to confirm: Heavy Hitch dual weight bracket configuration

I am not familiar with the HH in person but I made my own. I have the same issue. I can get the 40's and the 70's in it but I have to tip them as well. If the weight hander was lower it creates other issues. I cannot load my IH 70 on that side because they are taller.

However if you have the heavy hitch stand you can mount the weights then back up to the HH and hook it up saving the prying them in there. That is how I typically do it. With the IH weights I have to remove the top bushing before I back in to hook it up and then put it back in after I get it into hooking up positions since the bottom of the I match wont clear the top of the weights.

I think I'm only going to be able to put three weights on each side for the inside bar. Maybe the 40#s would work, I'm not sure. But even if I had all 16 weights hanging on there and I tried to attach it, I can't see how my lift arms would not hit the inside weights (with 4 on each side).

If it helps, I have the HH2DB on my 2032R and am able to carry 16 of the 42# weights (P/N UC13263) on it with no interference issues. I would think there'd be more space on your machine than there is on mine? So maybe you'd be able to carry 8 of 42# weights on the inside bracket and 8 of the 70# weights on the outside.
