I wish Rescue11 would tell us how he really feels and not sugar-coat it so much.

I like my loader a lot, I pick up and move 55 gallon drums of oil with it quite often.

Yup their's a lot of strain on the front axle, front wheels and steering. If you don't want to be broke down long, better keep an extra set of all related parts on hand ready to go.

You really do't want it on a gear drive tractor though, you just don't have enough hands to do everything with. Hydro with a F/R foot pedal.
