I hope you are traveling at slow speeds on level land. That bale on the front has you hauling & braking 12+ tons with only approx 2-1/2 ton of weight on the drive wheels.
That loader bale is also 4 ft too high. The center of balance is somewhere between the top of the rear rims and the top of the rear tires.
A modest hill with that load pushing and a few bumps in the field will turn that tractor greasy side up.
As for those who think 2WD is as good as 4WD on a loader? You must be operating only on concrete or asphalt? 4WD not turning sharp? That's only very old 4WD's or economy priced machines.
A hydraulic reverser or wet clutch with vital/shuttle shift is vital. It only takes one “helper” tractor operator less than an hour to ruin a dry clutch.
