I have learned that a tractor without a loader is half a tractor. A loader without 4wd is a waste of money and not even half a tractor. A tractor with a loader and no weight in or on the rear tires is a widow maker. Even with the filled tires, I've sweated bullets on some of the positions that I've gotten myself into. I guess it would be Ok if I always stayed on level surfaces and didn't use it for what I need to get done but....

When I first got my tractor with loader, I tried to pick up big rocks. That was a real character builder and took a while to learn.
