Hi Mud, No, the loader won't "spread" because of that front weldment cross-brace. This is the one and only bad thing about these loaders; strappin' them on a wide front tractor. They just about take another loader to position the darnded things because of those rear uprights. Tie those angle iron front braces over to the loader's upper arms, first thing. I would set the loader on the trailer bucket end first, then with another loader and by attaching to the loader's bow brace, lift the rear of the loader up high enough to let the 820's muffler slide in under the bow and also, it's front axle run in underneath the loader's rear upright U-irons. Then, he should be able to let the loader's rear back down to the trailer. He "might" have to set the rear uprights on some blocking to allow the bow to clear the 820's hood, but I don't think so. Usually those bows are positioned vertically to allow the operator vision underneath, so I think he can let the rear uprights back down to trailer level again and without the bow resting on the 820's tinwork. Bad news is that the whole process will have to be repeated again to unload the 820 and yet again when mounting to your widefront tractor. :>( I've got this bow "laid down" to clear my garage door; but usually they stand upright.
