I agree that the MX7 is a heavy cutter, but I think that unless you have a heavily treed of otherwise tricky area to cut, that leaving the loader on is fairly harmless. I sometimes take the quick attach bucket off if I have tight areas to get into. I do not think that loaded front tires would be enough counterweight without the loader frame. I know that my 5520 MFWD feels very light in the front end (even with my 12.4X24 tires filled with antifreeze) when I pick up my MX8 lift type cutter. If you have alot of turning to do and need the extra manuverability (sp?) of not having the loader attached, then I agree that a lighter cutter would be better, but if you can leave the loader frame on, and simply detach the bucket, I would stick with the MX series, as they seem really bulletproof. Anyways, just my .02
