This is a JD 4020 HFWD with a loader on it. It is used every year to load 3 or 4x square bales out of a modified Hesston 4900 baler (or Krone). That is loading about 2.5T at a time.
The front axle casting broke, so now this tractor has a solid axle that is nicely done. The ROPS cage is not too nice, but was necessary because this tractor is used a lot by young drivers and the bales can tip on you, or you can ditch the tractor with the bale trailer (big enough for 18T at a time).
The mounts are homemade, and are not stressing the tractor too much because they go all the way to the trumpets.
Behind it are other nice tractors, and the broken tranny 6030 that we talked earlier (in process of getting the case machined to fix the park pawl).
Anyway, have you seen before a 4020 hidden under this gigantic loader?
