I'm really wondering how well I can scoop dirt and gravel without loosing traction. Any time you lift something in front bucket, you remove weight from rear wheels. Solution is rear ballast, not tire ballast, rear ballast.
Front bucket moves dirt best and using front bucket to finish grade isn't the best thing to use.
When it comes to yard work, the bigger the tractor the deeper the ruts you put in the ground. So having ballast in rear tires only adds to problem.
Friend has 55 hp YTM 4w. Not very impressive when he has a full bucket of dirt. All the weight is on smaller front tires. He can get stuck in a mud puddle.
That is why for landscaping, I like my terramite, it only weighs 3100#. Front bucket is rated at 1700#. It's only 2w so I use rear ballast to remove weight from front tires.
I don't think bigger is better doing landscaping. Go to diy rental and rent either a terramite or a small Kubota with loader and back blade to see what works best.
When it comes to moving dirt with a loader, you need HST not a clutch and gear box.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
