That extra hinge you are referring to on industrial models was only used on certain brands or models of a brand. It s just how they designed their loader frames
Very few of Fords industrial models had that hinge design
My Ford 4500 was their most popular backhoe loader tractor at that time and it has cylinders lined directly to the attachment
I have heard the term skip loader but have no idea what it means, but I m only 67 years old.
A popular name for the type of tractor I think you are looking for is the Utility model, my brother had a Ford 3400 Utility with the heavier front axle and loader. The Ford 340 and 540 are popular utility models, I am a Ford owner and not familiar with other brands models but I do know JD and other brands had utility models, I am not recommending any particular model or brand
Be aware that industrial utility tractors where built in a number of configurations, they came with and without loaders, manual and torque converter transmissions, most torque converter models did not have pto, with and without 3 point lift, with and without pto, so you can t punch in a certain model number and it automatically have the lift and pto you want
Final note is 2wd tractors with loaders are very traction limited unless you have a good amount of weight on the back
If you can work it in your budget look at an older 4x4 Kubota with loader, I think you will be much happier with that

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
