If I didn't want to hear it, I wouldn't have asked. ...But you're right, I don't wanna hear it! *lol*
It "is" a bit heavier than what the 460 should likely have mounted on it, and that's keeping in mind that these tractors were means for plowing, cultivation, etc -- not for "loader work". The F19 loader that's on there now is horrible. I wouldn't trust it for nothing! When I bought the tractor, didn't much care that the loader was on the thing - was just needing the PTO to work. Now I'm wanting to have something for lifting logs onto a small sawmill, clearing out the wooded acreage, etc. Will be lots of (I hope) bucket work dealing with compost, but that's not heavy work. No lifting large hay bales or anything like that. And I haven't needed a loader in Winter since getting the Western snow plow.
I also have the little Gehl skidloader, but a loader on the 460 will reach much higher and has a larger bucket.
So yes, within reason, a fair amount of loader work. Compared to some of you folks, not much work at all - but I want something that will stand the test of time. My main concern with this GB 900 is in the loader, wondering if it's so stiff that it'll transmit a lot of damaging force to the tractor frame. I doubt the GB 900 will flex as much as the Farmhand loaders do.
We don't usually get many decent loaders for sale in this area anymore. Actually, tractors either. Had to go to near Fergus Falls to get the skidloader. One like it up here would cost way too much, cause they just aren't out there.

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
