looking at buying a loader tractor

[Noodlearm]

That is exactly what I was going to recommend. If you don't need the 3pt hitch and pto functions, a case/ford/deere etc loader/backhoe can be had relatively cheap and will be much better at loader work than most of the farm tractors

We need to be careful, I recently had a post nixxed cause I was defending our right to opinion and I may have shone a bad subtle light on the person I was responding to! BTW.... to the monitors, I apologize!
