I have loader on a 1210 and it is not bad. While rolling it is pretty easy to steer. When in tight quarters it is harder but not that bad.
To keep from putting the steering components thru so much stress I will lower the bucket far enough to lift the front tires, crank it the direction I want to go and then raise the loader. It works like a charm.
The pro's of having the loader far outweigh the con's of no power steering.
