There is some other company from Canada ? that makes a HEAVY DUTY one to fit the 4020 too. They also offer a HEAVY DUTY front end to hold up to it I think also.

We have a 158 on a 4020 gas with loaded tires and a 115 blade on the back. This is just the right amount of counter weight. You need more then just the tires loaded and that blade adds just enough extra.
Never had a problem with our 158 and the 4020 has a stock wide front end. I really like the extra length for lifting and loading. For really heavy things like an old JD B complete or an A with some parts stripped off you can center the bottom of the bucket over the tractor and chain it all the way around over the frt. and back of the bucket and lift them right up and have enough reach to get them on and off a trailer. Tilting the bucket easily keeps it leveled up.
Don't forget you also get extra height too with the longer arms.
Best thing we did was to have our bucket rebuilt with a thicker heavier cutting edge and a new bottom,reinforced the top edge across inside of lip with a 2x2 box steel beam and added hooks in several spots. This cutting edge doesn't bend and if you dig dirt it really cuts !

And we also found out this combo lifts the same amount as an older JD 400 TLB loader roughly 4000 lbs. The 400 TLB has alot better power steering system as they can steer sitting still while lifting this kinda weight where the 4020 won't.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract. ... [Read Article]
