Amen brother. And if you are dragging a bush hog that is that heavy on the back that you need the loader to balance it, it's probably too large. That's what front weights are for. Certainly not a loader.
Ok so the OP already has a loader. So now you suggest he pulls off loader bucket and buys a front weight kit and mount which is north of $1000 bucks when the front loader he already has provides just as much weight as front weights, gives him better FWD traction and with the bucket may feel a stump he otherwise could destroy his equipment with? And Lets not forget these other very important advantages, a loader tractor gets unstuck better than one without a loader & bucket and a loader can push fallen trees an branches aside. Saved my butt dozens of times.
You a rich guy? :laughing:
You sure like to spend the OPs money and possibly open him up to safety issues.
