Guess that describes mine pretty well. The loader is real heavy duty and I think it's been on forever, probably saw heavy use in a state highway department sand yard. I could live with the loosey goosey steer-a-battleship steering, but I have a right wheel that will suddenly flop outwards broadside to the line of travel if it encounters rough terrain. (The left stays straight no matter what.) First time I thought I had broken the tractor but I learned it can somehow take it, thanks be to the IH god that was. But it stops the rig cold and has been problematic when trying to bucket snow in close proximity to the garage or house this winter. It has also gotten me stuck in rough terrain crossing a broken field; suddenly no forward momentum and then I get stuck but good! And the broadsided right wheel, which doesn't respond well to the spin-the-bottle steering, offers great resistance when I try to back up from being stuck; no rocking is possible. I have to dig and jack some of the time if the bucket won't free me because my rear tires are 97% worn and don't get a lot of traction in tough spots. Oh well, my 240U was affordable and it runs most of the time, but best in dry fair weather.
