Hi Clanger, my brother has an IH 2250 Quick Attach loader on his 495 which is a newer model of 484. With the Quick Attach loader it takes about 10 minutes to remove the loader arms and bucket.
My opinion is the 2250 is to heavy a loader for 495 size tractor it requires a 584 or 684 size.

Previous to having the 2250 loader we had a 1550 on a 384 and we would just remove the bucket by pulling three pins. Once the bucket is off the loader arms and frame don't affect the operation of the tractor as much as having the heavy bucket sticking out in front of the tractor.

Hopefully the loader will come with its own set of hydraulic control levers mounted on the loader frame on the right side at about the same height as the throttle. The hydraulics controls can be plumbed into a plug in the transmission in front of the right axle.

A few safety tips:
If you are carrying heavy loads in the bucket be sure to have plenty of weight on the rear of the tractor. We would put 3 pt cultivator on back for weight.
Also when transporting heavy loads in bucket do not lift bucket more than 2 feet off ground. Maintain low center of gravity. To many people tip their tractor over by lifting the bucket up high over the tractor and then going across sloping ground. Go straight down a slope.
Never lift bucket to maximum height with out leveling bucket to keep load from rolling over bucket and back down loader frame crushing the operator. So many farmers have been seriously injured or killed by doing this with a round bale in the bucket.

Good Luck
