Anybody with a TN feel the need for a front ballast?
I think its critical, with unloaded tires, to use a rear ballast for loader work. But thats with 3000lbs of dirt up front 6+ feet in the air.
So with the loader off do you have any trouble with implements in the 1200 lbs range? That less than half the 3-point rating.
Its handy to have all the remotes free that the loader would normally use and you can actually see up front!!!!
I keep the loader on most of the time and when I take it off the difference is amazing. I prefer the feel of the machine without the loader, although I would not be without one. Very useful.
