Very nice looking tractor and that bucket is a beast, you should be able to move some snow (or anything else you want to use it for). Good luck with it and have fun.

Excellent choice! You'll love the TN series. I have a TN65 with the 32LA loader. No autolevel, though (I'm jealous 
).

Thanks, all, for the compliments, and thought I'd post an update. The F3 tires on the front axle are nice for not tearing up the grass, and I wish I'd known about them for the old 3415. What's taken the most getting used to is the power shuttle. Having used only a clutch for all of my previous tractor driving, it's still a challenge to remember not to use the clutch and only the shuttle to initiate forward or backward motion. There hasn't yet been any snow to speak of, and it's been too cold or too wet to move any dirt about, so there's been no chance to try the loader with the power shuttle. I am looking forward to trying out my new pallet forks this weekend, though I'll also know more about how easy it is to use a 3PH backhoe over a subframe when I pull the hoe off this weekend and put on the flail so I can bring it in and sharpen the teeth. Does anybody know how easy it is to pull off the 32LA loader? I'm curious...

The 32LA is a simple loader to remove. Just make sure you are on hard ground when you set the legs down. Otherwise make sure you put some boards under them.
Basically, you decide where you want to drop the loader, set the bucket down to the ground, un-pin the legs and pin them to the proper angle and length, remove the two pins (one on each loader mount, you might have to work the joystick a little if a pin is bound), then just pull the joystick back like you would if you wanted to lift the loader, back up a little as you do this as the arms will come right out of the mounts. Once they clear, kill the tractor, release the pressure some and disconnect the hydraulic hoses and back away.
Once you do it a couple times you will be able to do the entire job in just a few minutes. The longest part is folding the legs to where they need to be. Have fun.
