Where's the head bashing on a brick wall emoji when I need it? "Duh!"

"Thanks!" he says sheepishly...

All the best, Peter

Front end loader is something that I will think about later and it seems that powershift will be good for it.

Adding a FEL later is a fool's errand. Besides all the work to add one you still need to find one that will work and the cost will be high. It will be much cheaper to buy a tractor with one already on it. Another poster down the thread said that a FEL can get in the way and make it easier to roll your tractor. The poster is slightly correct. The FEL does add about 3 feet to the length of the tractor, but you can raise it which will reduce the tractor length. And yes, the FEL can make the tractor easier to roll over but only if you have a load in the loader and if it is held up high while moving. You need to learn how to operate any machine safely. At the end of the day though a tractor in the size range you are looking at will be twice as useful with a FEL. You can tell yourself that all the carrying capacity of the FEL is of little consequence, that you don't have a problem moving all that stuff yourself, but really the FEL is a huge labor saver. That's why they are so popular.
