Gotta ask what you expect to do with this tractor and loader to really address any real solution. Feeding round bales daily? couple times a week? Feeding silage too boot? All these things make a difference in what I'd recommend. When I was farming I feed round bales about once a week, small herd, put a couple out at a time. Farm tractor was OK for that. Couple times a year spending a day of 2 picking up hay in the field. My BIL and nephew are feeding round bales and silage to about 100 beef cows an 70-80 dairy cows with a loader. So that gets run every day to feed silage. Their loader tractor has a shuttle shift so it isn't bad. Would not want to do that with a gear shift tractor for forward reverse.
Having operated tractors with loaders from an old H Farmall with a trip bucket loader, through larger farm tractors to backhoes ending with a 5 yard loader with power-shift I have my favorites. Least favorite is any farm tractor without a shuttle shift. Even with a shuttle it's still a farm tractor with a loader added on. Like my backhoe. The 5 yard loader was fun to operate and almost as easy as the loader end of my backhoe.
