Hey Hugh, my relatives bought a nice used payloader to use on their farm for feeding, hauling manure, etc. Worked really great the first year, then the transmission went out - paid big $$ to fix that, then the engine started knocking - big $$ again.

Bottom line is, industrial equipment is very expensive to fix, and around here there just aren't any dealers that want to work on them either. Along with the fact that for the first 4 years we had our 1256 we took the loader off in the spring and used it in the field. A dual-purpose tractor not only makes sense to someone with cattle and farming, it is the only way to make a living. We just cannot afford to have something like a payloader just for feeding cattle, etc. And they don't make a skid steer big enough for use with 1800 pound bales - they might lift them, but are not safe for loading bales, etc. with the loader up high.

In my opinion, the front end loader is the best idea for a tractor I've ever seen. Now that they design tractors for use with them, it's even better!

And the 56 and 66 series tractors are excellent choices for the loader. The shifting is easy to reach, and you can go from reverse to high quite easily and quickly - 2nd gear works best. Plus the fact that these series stand up to the abuse that a loader gives.
