JD655 2WD w/Loader \"Bad Idea\"???

Would a JD655 2WD handle a Bucket loader or should I forget it and trade in for a 4WD. What Bucket loader fits the 655, series 60? I have all the hydraulics set up on the tractor. Where can I price a used bucket loader for a JD655?

Craig, I'm not sure what loader fits the 655. Check your dealer. You'll have a tough time finding a used loader as most people like them too well to sell. You could try aftermarket. The 2wd won't be a huge problem, just be sure you have plenty of counterweight. Do you have power steering? That's probably a bigger issue. Manual steering will get pretty tiring with a loader /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
