Last year, I bought a Farmall M with a "Farm Hand" front loader. I went to move a stack of sheet metal for the steel building I am (still!) putting up. I hooked a couple logging chains to the bucket of the loader, and threaded them through some 3" galvanized steel pipe. Then, I put the pipes under the sheet metal (so I wouldn't curl the sheet metal), and hooked the other end of the chains back to the bucket. Yes, my Farmall lifted the load, but I could feel the back end getting very light on the wheels, and that was WITH wheel weights. The sheet metal had to get moved, so I went slow, kept the load only 6" off the ground, and kept prepared to jump clear if the tractor started to dump. I moved the stack, but needed a stiff drink afterward, just to calm myself down. It was HAIRY! I have moved the sheet metal twice more, but had the advantage of my neighbor's forklift. :-)
