I read in one of your older posts that you don't have a loader. Don't you think it would have been better to put that $509 towards a loader (which would add weight to the front) and also accomplish numerous other things? Just my .02 cents.

I see your logic. The money tree has sprouted a little since I bought the tractor...

No sir, I don't have a loader. I thought about buying one with my tractor when I got it, but I really didn't/don't have much use for one (use-wise that is). I made a budget driven decision to not have an FEL installed on it because of price only. Since I don't need a loader but occassionally, I figured I'd be better off renting one if I ever need it. My cousin rented
a tractor with loader for Friday, Sat, Sun and had to be returned Monday morning. The cost was $189.00. He was allowed to put 10 engine hours on the machine. He didn't even get 8 on it. Called me and asked if I needed it for anything...I couldn't think of anything to do with it.

3-4k extra for a loader at the time I bought it......divided by 189.00 for a rental....equals a lot of renting before I broke even. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved just having the extra implement...I just couldn't justify it to my accountant (wife).
