I have often said the same thing, when I was a kid, we had a 2010 JD, with a nice loader on it, but my father sold it off, and we never had another tractor here with one, I know of others that never had one, with land etc.,
Having been a heavy equipment operator, you get used to having or being around equipment, know the uses of, and know what you can do with same, loader is just a simple solution to an awful lot of labor intense tasks and beyond, when I first got a tractor again, albeit, old worn and slow, to this day I say the same thing, how did I do without ?
At the other place, they bought a compact years back, quick tach loader, but no forks, a few years ago, I scrounged and saved, (given the low wages LOL) found a nice set MDS out of ND or SD and what a game changer unload pallets from trucks, handle firewood, and all those darned jumps (horses) standards, rails and so on, palletize them, no more carrying them by hand, I've always liked hard physical work its good for a person, but when age kicks in, you have to find other means, and a simple thing like a loader with forks does the trick.
One example, snow caved in big section of our barn, we rebuilt it, the pile of old roof tin stayed inside, what a mess to handle by hand, when I got those forks, I went over to the stack, picked the entire mess and used the one end in, one end out trick to get the stack out the door, never touched one piece of it, set it down where it needed to be, all of it would have had to be done by hand without the forks.
