I have a 148 on a 4020 powershift, like it real well. It is plumbed via a power beyond circut. As was pointed out, the manual for the 148 covers the 158 also. It says that the 158 is about 400 pounds heavier, 5800 pounds breakout force compared to 4700 on the 148; will lift 3800 pounds compared to 3100 for the 148. It will clear about 30 inches more than a 148, is about 18 inches longer than a 148 with the bucket on the ground, will dig 3 1/2 inches deeper... My 148 is plenty stout and all the loader I need, doing much of the same work you describe. You would need to be doing some serious work to need the 158.
