Nice tractor!

I don't think it's very good to pull with the loader bucket. Maybe better to chain to backhoe bucket if you don't have a tow point on the rear.

Happy tractoring!

Pretty sure he's just transporting the stump, not towing it. The chain is just to keep it from falling out of the bucket. I've done the same many times.

yep not in tow... too big for bucket but huge stump that the rains took care of removing the dirt and the sun dried it out so I was able to lift it with the chains.

If you meant it might damage the tractor, I don't see it. However pulling with the FEL could put you on tippy toes in the front if you don't keep your bucket near to or sliding on the ground. I have pushed some large loads like huge rocks that I couldn't lift with my LS P7010 and had no problems, just put as much in the FEL bucket as would fit and pushed it along the ground. I also pulled out some huge trees from a pile that I couldn't get into with the tractor by hooking on to my chain hooks on the FEL bucket. I just put the bucket on the ground and let it slide back so it wouldn't tip me up on the front wheels. You just need to think a bit about the dynamics of the load and adjust accordingly. I would much rather be pushing a heavy load than trying to carry it with my rear wheels bouncing off the ground. I don't see this action any more that pushing into a pile of dirt till the wheels spin. Pushing or pulling, the FEL should be designed strong enough to take all that the tractor can put out in traction. HOWEVER, sudden impacts with immovable objects at a fast speed are not advisable for sure.

I don't pull or push a load by attaching it to the backhoe, EVER. Most tractors can pull more than the backhoe can stand so you can easily damage a cylinder or worse, the frame of the hoe.

What you said about the backhoe applies to the front end loader. Chaining to the top of the bucket can over stress the bucket cylinders and linkage especially when they are folded up as show in the picture.

The backhoe on most tractors is very heavy duty... It can easily drag the tractor around while on it's stab pads. I'm willing to bet the hoe can produce more pull force than the tires in many cases.

However... I don't think a loads should be pulled by the loader or hoe.
