It might depend on the loader and how well it's matched to the tractor. A JD 45 loader on a 3010 narrow front tractor was a good combination. A JD48 "quick-tach" loader on a JD2020 tractor was a great combination. I would think the same JD48 loader on a 3020 would be just as great because the 3020's wheelbase is longer and the tractor is heavier. The one drawback of the 48 loader on a 2020 was the bucket was further out in front of the front axle than for smaller loaders. I'm not familiar with a 148 loader. I think the load rating for a 45 loader was 2000 pounds and a 48 was rated at either 2500 or 3000 pounds.
Older loaders like a 45 attached to the rear axle. Newer quick attach loaders mount on engine side frames. If you are concerned about the strength of the tractor frame under a very large loader, people have added reinforcements to carry much of the forces back to the rear axle.
I think the industrial version of a 3010 or 3020 was the JD500. You might check how the industrial loader was mounted on the 500.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
