Those front-hang loaders do more than kill a front end. My brother bought a new front-hanger loader(not gonna mention the brand name) about three or four years ago for our 656 gasser(and don't get me started on the wisdom of buying a NEW $5000.00 loader to put on a tractor that's worth probably $3500 tops).
Anyway, this loader is HEAVY. And for some reason that dad can't remember, this tractor was purchased new with stamped-steel rear rims, instead of the heavier cast center rear wheels. Result- unless you take the bucket off, that thing can hardly get out of it's own way due to such low weight percentage on the rear wheels. Put a load of dirt in the bucket and it's dang near like driving on ice as far as rear-wheel traction. Not to mention the way the front tires tend to sink out of sight in our soft spring-fed meadows. Even without the bucket it's still not balanced right. I know- we could invest a bunch of money and ballast out the rear of the tractor, but it's only used occasionally, so for now we'll just live with it.
