Well the big thing to pay attention to on the 460s is the steering. They are well known for excessive wear in the steering box, especially if theve had a loader for a long time. However they also have an advantage over the 404 in that they have frame rails along the einge, where as with the 404 the block is "the frame" between the bellhousing and the front end. As far as loaders I have seen several of each model with loaders on em.
Personally Id say go with the 404 cause they are a little more compact as far as length. Also they are newer than the 460. But from what Ive heard they are bit more challenging for finding parts since they are not as common.

Otherwise you are more likely to have the tractor in two pieces if someone ever tries to lift something they shouldnt.
