Well, I am to blame. I think I was the first to say that in your other post.

What I meant was, if the loader was shorter (i.e. closer to the tractor) you would have more lifting capacity. But... as you shorten the loader arms, at full height, your bucket is closer to dumping its contents on your head.

With a loader that is further away from the tractor you put more stress on your front axle (fulcrum), and you need more weight on the rear of the tractor.

Just keep the loader low the the ground when its loaded, go slow, and don"t make and quick sharp turns. You"ll learn real quick your tractors capacity right as one of the rear tires come off the ground and the pucker factor kicks in.

Be careful and you"ll be fine.
