1. I've never seen any wheels broken on a farm tractor with front loader except on ytmag, and they were rusted out. I've seen antique tractors damaged from cobbled together loaders.
2. Never seen problems with PS except an old IH 584 we had with a 2250 loader and weak pump. With a heaping bucket of gravel she had a hard time steering fast.
3. Never seen gear box problems, unless you count short clutch life in dry clutch loader tractors.
4. The frames and mounting, my small Kubota with a 2000 lb full lift rated loader is built with front loader bosses cast into the motor and the has torque arms that go to the rear axle.
My MF has an aftermarket ALO loader rated at something like 4000 lb, with formed plates that form a subframe front to the middle, then reach under with torque arms to the rear. Its got 4000 hours on the wet clutch reverser without any problems, the whole point of a wet clutch reverser is for loader use. Sort of pointless to pay for it if not used with a loader. The ride control on the loader with the previous owners lack of greasing has ruined about 100$ of oilite bushings but that is a quick fix.
I will say, 2wd dry clutch non-sync tractors make poor loader tractors. Most mfwd wet clutch reverser equipped tractors make dandy loaders. Are they going to outperform a TLB moving big buckets of gravel? No, but that TLB loader isn't going to pickup manure or round bales any better.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
