I agree, if loader work is what you're using it for I wouldn't get a 2wd.
i attempted some real world stuff. This log is not 8 long but it does weigh over 1650 lbs at 20' long. My loader is rated @1600lbs. It can lift it but you can tell the loader is fast reaching its limit. Never would I attempt to travel with this type of stem very far and bring it to the splitter with the 3 pt carry all. If I had about 800 lbs more ballast, it would have made the tractor more stable. Big weight to load requires bigger tractors of more like a utility type rather than a mid size cut in my opinion..
are you 2wd or 4wd?
Can I ask why they need to be 8ft long? Cutting them in half you could use a smaller tractor without so much hassle..?
