You may have to change your sights. I have a gravel pit on my place and have moved a lot of gravel/topsoil with a loader. Trust me, you're going to go to a larger tractor. For years I used a Ford 850 w/deaborne 19-53 loader and one of those dump trailers. I went throught two clutches. Also hard on the brakes. It wont pick up a full bucket of gravel. Also when the buckets full the steering is dangerous. I also use a lot of large hay bales, up to 1,800 lbs. With the Ford I could push them or flip them into the dump trailer. I went to a JD 4020 D w/ford loader/graffle. I should have done it eariler. I can fill up the dump trailer in no time. The power shift tranny saves on clutches and the powder steering. I also pick up logs I could only drag before. It short, if you stick to loader work you're going to go to a larger tractor so you might as well start there.
