#4 Gravel is a LOT easier..

..to scoop with the FEL than dirt but it's heavy... I was really glad that my tires were loaded and my box blade was back there. Drop that bucket a few inches, stop it a little too abruptly and you can feel the back of the tractor try to lift.

One time I stepped off the tractor with a bucket full of wet manure and the loss of my weight in the seat was enough to lift the rear wheels. Fortunately the bucket was only up a few inches so I just jumped back on and the rear wheels came down. Before we do all the fat-***** jokes, I only weigh 160#.

I have one, it's sitting out in the field holding down the weeds.

Well ... it could be sitting on the back of the tractor holding down the wheels.
