Gotta ask what you expect to do with this tractor and loader to really address any real solution. Feeding round bales daily? couple times a week? Feeding silage too boot? All these things make a difference in what I'd recommend. When I was farming I feed round bales about once a week, small herd, put a couple out at a time. Farm tractor was OK for that. Couple times a year spending a day of 2 picking up hay in the field. My BIL and nephew are feeding round bales and silage to about 100 beef cows an 70-80 dairy cows with a loader. So that gets run every day to feed silage. Their loader tractor has a shuttle shift so it isn't bad. Would not want to do that with a gear shift tractor for forward reverse.
Having operated tractors with loaders from an old H Farmall with a trip bucket loader, through larger farm tractors to backhoes ending with a 5 yard loader with power-shift I have my favorites. Least favorite is any farm tractor without a shuttle shift. Even with a shuttle it's still a farm tractor with a loader added on. Like my backhoe. The 5 yard loader was fun to operate and almost as easy as the loader end of my backhoe.

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
