Good example. But does the tractor not come with a manual stating a specific ballasting plan for this loader, which includes a ballast box + loaded rear tires + reversing the mounting of those rear wheels for better stability?
The tires are filled almost completely with "beet juice" and I use a ~1200lb tiller for ballast most of the time and, specifically for any heavy loader lifts.
Even pulling rusty T-posts out of my old barbed wire fence will lift the rear end of the tractor off the ground.
While generally a great tractor for farm chores and being a real fuel miser, a great loader tractor for heavier lifts it is not!
