I did talk a friend who farms and he said the same thing. There will be no problem pulling the 3/16 mounted plow with this tractor.

I don't think you guys understood what I meant by loading the tires...you will find that if you try to lift something "heavy", ie. over 1500 lbs or so, you will feel the back end of the tractor start to rise, as the FEL is plenty powerful to raise the rear end off the ground if the load is heavy enough....I ain't worried about the plowing...an old Ford 3000 could pull a 3 bottom Ford 101. Sorry for the misunderstanding. BobG in VA

My brain was only locked on the plowing with this tractor. I appreciate the heads up about lifting heavy stuff as I will also be lifting 1200-1500# bales and if the back end gets light I would load the tires. Again all insight is appreciated.

also you will not have to load them for even silage bales... even the 4530 will lift 5x6 bales double stacked off a semi without anything weight on the back or in the tires... and will toss them around without getting light in the back.

I don't like doing lifting with the FEL without weight on back. The backhoe subframe is not enough weight for a full load of damp clay. If the backhoe is off............I'll put the 3/16 plow or brush hog on.

Aw Brandi - you are missing out on half the fun!

Oh no I haven't. I moved a little (7 foot wide full bucket) clay the other day and had one rear tire up about a foot into the air before I knew it. I was turning and backing, so I slammed the bucket down and all was forgiven.

I agree about the clay brandi! I have loaded tires, one set of steel weights and even with the 7' hd box blade, my rear end will come off the ground. So I made a 1700lb counterweight and I have managed to get a tire off the ground with that on a small incline!!!
