I would try jobs with a narrow front, rear tires on 72" centers and chloride, that I wouldn't try with a wide front on 66" rear tire centers and no chloride. Same tractor model. I have also loaded thousands of loads with Farmalls H and 300 narrow fronts. Before the days of power steering, the narrow front was by far the best loader tractor.
