Loaders on GT's are asking for trouble IMHO. That said, if your going to let your wife use it, make sure she understands center of gravity, and how to operate a loader. Figure out the suitable load weigh for it and everything before letting her use it. Nice flat open space is one thing. If you have hills that's another. I don't want this to end up a bad story because of ignorance. That tractor doesn't have any rollover protection. Also, one big advantage to the little SCUT tractors is they are most always 4X4. With the front locked in, it makes the drive system more stable. Brakes work, drive system pulls and helps stop because the front and rear drives are tied together. On that cub.... decent size load on the bucket, somewhat uneven terrain on a slope. One tire loses traction, and now it's an unstoppable rolling machine (for an inexperienced operator). Unless your wife has been operating machinery for a while...... well... whatever. It's your tractor, and your wife.
