Was it really good for much? How high would it lift?

We had 30 dairy cows. the winter/overnight area where they live/slept was 60 by 40 feet. When the ground was froze hard enough to hold the tractor and manure spreader the pen was cleaned. Usually by them the manure was 2-3 feet deep. The H and loader filled the spreader. We did not have live hydraulics......clutch had to be engage for the loader to lift the load. When I operate the loader I would ram the manure pile till the tractor start spinning the rear wheels. While the rear wheels were spinning I would start to raise the loader enough so I can back out of the pile.
The loader would raise 7-8 feet at full lift. The bucket did not have hydraulics on it. It had a spring to return the bucket back to home.
Our H did not have power steering, live hydraulics and live PTO. It was a bear to steer. We use that H and loader set up for 15 to 20 years.
