I grew up with an IH H and an add on loader. It was very slow. One way hydraulics. Trip bucket. NO POWER STEERING. We cracked the farmall in half with the loader.
In my opinion, you could damage the front axle with a loader. You don't have power steering. I was told it cost people a pant load to operate a ford with loader and hoe. My toy is about a gallon/hour gas. I love hydrostatic tranny when loading the front bucket with dirt or mulch. You will most likely burn out the clutch trying to put dirt on it. I helped a guy who had a massey with after market loader. His was very slow. He couldn't scoop dirt. He would spin his rear wheels. His had a bad clutch too. I would put 2 scoops on his bucket and he did the long runs for me.
Ask people which is stronger, after market loaders/hoes or a loader/hoe built from the ground up? My little guy is stronger than you think.
The bigger you go, the heavier, the deeper the ruts in your yard.
Best advice, is find a friend who will let you operate what you think you want before you buy. See what it's going to cost to operate and how much does it weigh. George

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
