Yes, the brush guard will work with your loader. If you look at your front loader bracket you will see pre-drilled holes that the guard will bolt to. I have an 04 (which doesn't have the holes) and a friends 06 (like yours) has the holes. I don't have the brush guard but if I bought one I'd have to drill the holes to mount it. The guard will be almost vertical in mounting and won't stick out that far. Its designed to work with or without a loader. If you look at my attached pic you'll see I added a front weight bracket with weights. They stick out 10" in front of the loader bracket without any interference.
