Traction is never a consideration. All that extra weight does is push me deeper into the snow or mud.
I've never believed in loaded tires for that reason. If they won't help keep my rear tires on the ground than I see no reason to load them.

:laughing: Bloody good point. If that were the case I'd be reported daily just for saying "G'day!"
Or you lot for constantly misspelling 'tyre'.

Well heck I just read this entire thread tonight,
so the original poster picked up a sack with a tad bit more weight then expected and had to shove the loader down fast to avert an issue.
Startled himself and he has ordered a rear ballast box to prevent the same issue from happening again.
Good for him.
I can't count the number of times I've lifted a rear tire while working with a loader on numerous tractors, loaders and backhoes.
I've even lifted tires on both ends of my dynahoe and it is a beast a 190-4.
Then we have some people complaining about the way another poster writes.
He does make some of his posts hard to read, but must be something wrong with me as quite often I have no trouble reading his writing.
And then someone wants to go cry and complain about the way he is writing, some one needs to get a life or grow up.

I've done the same before, along with dropping the load down to keep from tipping over. Thanks for posting the reminder.

You mean ain't sposta test loader & hydraulics by pickin back end off ground? Lotta boys & girls around here gonna be real shocked to hear dat. Neighbor's wife got habit of usin bucket jammed in pile so she can shift middle bender back end over fer fast turn comin out of pile of frozen manure.
Bucket comes down fast as machine protection system. You don't use it machine generally tips back on tires easy enough. Let oil drain back past rings and you good to go.
(removed) is not commenting on unlearned skirt wearing individuals making insulting comments toward (removed). Dey need to complete potty training before dey run big keyboards in violation of Policy as clearly stated by Board Admin just recently. (removed) not even commenting on screwin some people took in so called college and will pay for next 20 years. I am sure der post grad Degree in basket weaving will earn dem great income superior to swamp boy who don't owe a cent as dey stare at screen in 8 x 8 cell.. Do wish dey had sufficient manhood to complain direct to (removed) and attach picture of lady who gestated dem 10 months before dey born preferably in bikini. (removed) did get around in his younger days and knew a good number of wimmen. Dey probably got too high Estrogen from public water.

Me, too! It is one reason that I try hard never to have heavy loads more than a few inches off the ground when in motion. I would rather "ground out" with the load hitting ground than lift the rear tires (or tyres). cqaigy2 and I both have tractors that shorten their wheelbase and therefore center (centre) of mass when turning, so things that were ok straight, aren't ok in the turn. I have gotten very proficient at hitting the dump lever to get everything on the ground and back to stability.
I'm glad bunyip didn't go over, and I'm always happy to learn from other's experiences.
All the best,
Peter

Wouldn't it be better to get a 3pt model that can haul 2 bales and then just haul one with the loader?

Think about spreading gravel, bucket raised about 60% travel so you can monitor dump rate and tractor is moving. Loaded tires and 3pt ballast keeps tractor stable. Using 4wd provides best braking action if rear end gets light - if this happens stop and add more ballast, lighter bucket loads.

Rarely use the brakes as I find backing off the HST almost launches you over the steering wheel, when I started tipping nothing was in my favour, loader high to pick up loops, trailer high putting it up a bit more and one front wheel in a bit of a dip whic I hadn't noticed causing me to lose some personal ballast shortly after the event.
As for (removed), i won't launch an attack and can generally decipher his posts, informative most of the time with a few diversions but I think most of us can claim priors for that, if you want language challenges, go to the UK, a 25 mile drive can change the dialect and interpretations of common words, a compliment in one town can be an insult in another.

I speak American English, can understand British English. Have no desire to learn a 4'n language. Think most Americans feel this way.
