I have seen pictures of several of them with loaders on them. If I were using it every day I might worry about the axels but most of the time it will sit in the garage. It is kind of like four wheel drive. You don't need it very often but when you do there is no substitute. I have about $1500 tied up in the build. It works really well. I cleaned the barn out about a month ago and it worked great. Sure beats a shovel and wheel barrow. The loader was a Johnson. I'm not sure what it was suppose to fit. I had to mgf. the front mounts and the block for the hydraulics. I also had all of the lines manufactured. After I got it mounted up I discovered that the uprights were to far back on the frame so I had to cut them off and move them forward after welding in some new bracing for them to sit on. I also made a brace to go from the uprights to the front of the tractor to add some stability and keep the uprights from trying to work back and forth. You don't want to try and pick a load up very high without some sort of ballast on the back. I was moving some gravel today and nearly tipped it over. I had taken the disc off and didn't put the grader box back on. I may have to make a ballast box in the future. I hope this has helped you out.
