was looking at a tractor at northern tools, i need another tractor with a loader, and want this one to be diesel and 4wd, so that kicks out me getting one of my old gassers for the job. this will be staying away from my property, but not unatended.
the NT unit is about 13.5k$
looking up the laoder specs it saus 1300# at the pivot and 1900# breakout.
are those real numbers? if so.. it may work good. I have a hay spear that i adapted from a 3pt spear and it clamps into a loadter bucket. the bales i move max out at 800 or so. I have rarely moved one that was 1000 but very, very rare as i don't buy 5x5 or 6x and prefer 4x5 bales as they are easier for my oldies to move. But now it would be convienient to have laoder in 2 places and the 'other place' will have someone else using it.. so i don't want to stick an antique there and deal with all the associated issues a 2wd 60 yr old tractor can throw at ya. ( i have no problem.. but the average guy hopping on one. it will act up on him if i'm not their to spank it and make it work.. ).
what ye say?
