273 broken frame

does taking the loader off when you don't need it help delaying the frame broken issue?

Yes, probably would. As the tractor should have a full frame to run a loader. Even when the bucket it empty it will bounce up and down putting stress on the front frame. I made a sub frame and installed it a few weeks ago. Now the tractor does not twist when I go over uneven ground with a bucket full of dirt.

Since is so easy to take the loader off the 293 I'm making it a rule. We have about 3 acres of land here and is much easier to move around without the loader specially when I'm using the rotary cutter. My tractor is getting close to the 300 hour mark and is doing great.

Yeah I forgot to take a few pics before I took it back to the farm to load wood. I will try to get back down soon and get the pictures.

Anyone have a picture they can post of where the frame broke? I have noticed my loader floats side to side,about 1/2" on the mount pins. I am thinking about taking it off, just to inspect everything and make sure I don't have a problem starting.
My 5 year warranty is coming to a close soon, so I need to find all these problems soon and get them fixed.

Your 5yr warranty is for powertrain and might not cover the frame ... I believe TYM does a 3yr bumper to bumper, plus 2 additional years for powertrain. Just FYI
