I missed that he only has 2WD. If I only had 2WD and a loader, I would quickly learn that a big, heavy boxblade on the rear is mandatory. I would also replace the rear tires with some Michelin radial tires, XM 35's I think they are. Without 4WD, a loader is a lot more difficult to use as efficiently. Backing up hills with a big load is almost undoable. If you really need to use the boxblade for some heavy box blade work, consider removing the loader and filling the tires. I think filling the tire is worth a shot even if your grass is sensitive. My 2WD International is filled and its my mower. It makes no difference on the turf be they filled or unfilled, the footprint is just so big the extra weight is not a factor. Where I live, no freeze protection is needed so dumping the water to experiment was easy to do. I had them empty and removed the front weights. I have everything back on including the water. Prior to having my 4WD Kubota, my 72" 1200lb boxblade would hardly do much on my heavier 2WD International. The 4WD Kubota pulls it so easily, I just don't use it on the International except to spread a little gravel. If I did, I would buy the Michelin radials for it. Rat....
