Thanks for info. I was told not to put an fel on a 2wd because it will be to hard to steer and tires weren't made to handle the weight. Would like to get wider front wheels if I do it. Got this thing for 900 and it runs like a champ some I won't feel bad putting 3-4k into it if they can handle the fel.

Have the police come to your house yet you stole that tractor at 900.00 bucks as to your question yes it harder to steer with a loader but not its anything your tractor can't handle and if something breaks Hoye has a heavy duty front axel I have all my tires foam filled so for me tires are not a issue a lot of 2wd have FELs on them.

A loader doesn't have much effect when there's nothing in it. The steering may be a little stiffer but it feels normal.

Loaded, it will take a hard pull on the steering wheel to make a moderate turn. For any close maneuvering: set the loader down, then beyond, to raise the front tires off the ground and spin the steering wheel where you want it, then lift the loader and start off in the new direction.

Any loader-ready tractor would have power steering and a beefier front end. These don't, so you have to work around the limitations. That said, a 24hp wheelbarrow is a huge improvement over a hand-push one!

Don't worry about tires. Wider ones will be even harder to steer. If you ever burst one, that would be the time to put on trailer tires. My neighbor says trailer tires stand up to loader work far better than car tires in his use which is moving 1 ton harvest bins all over the orchard on rough ground.

And since the front end on these isn't built for the weight, there is a chance of snapping a spindle or other damage. We have read of that on here occasionally.

Don't let anyone talk you out of adding a loader on a YM2000, but recognize its limitations.

good post California and good tip about stopping and turning the tires in the air.
