Derrick: I'm 66, been around tractors and equipment for a lot of years. My first loader experience was in 1950 when my dad bought a new Farmall H and 31 loader, next was a Farmall 300 with 33A loader, next was a Cockshutt 540 with a wagner loader and finally a Farmall 560 with a 2000 loader.
Then in 1972, I did the unthinkable, bought a new Case 1737 skid loader, and in 1976 I bought a second skid loader, and packed the 2000 loader off the 560 away in a shed. Since that time I've never had a loader on a farm tractor. I will not buy a used tractor that has had a loader on it. The engine should always be on opposite end of machine from loader. If that be the case, 1/2 the horsepower will do the same work.
I've owned 3 Farmall Super A, 2 Farmall 130 and a 140. Personally I think cultivators or a front blade is all the weight one should place on that light front end. These little tractors were and still are cultivator tractors. About all the engineering that ever went into farm tractor loaders was customer demand. One exception Ford/Versatile/ NH.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
