[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4012293, member: 5412"] I’ve owned or operated tractors most of my life for farming. All pulling tractors. Never had one with a front loader. After buying a 35 hp Mahindra diesel with a 6’ bucket, I’ll never be without one ever again. Lift capacity is 2500 lbs and I’ve tested that rating. For the OP, always look at the weight of the tractor you’re looking at and compare it with other similar models. You would be really surprised at how much difference there is. One can always put a tiller or something similar on the three point for counter balance when lifting. I’ll agree with some about the forks being extremely handy. I actually copied a design and built my own that look like the one in the pic with some modifications. When we get tree limbs down, I can just drive around the place and scoop up a big pile.
