Allan: I agree with you 100% on this one. The conventional farm tractor just about the poorest vehicle one ever put a loader on. For example that 966 of yours, probably 15% of the cost when new was, a lower link sencing draft controled 3 point and IPTO, hanging on there doing absolutely nothing while doing loader work. Then the farmer public wanted 4x4 for their loader tractor, just so they could beat the crap out of the lighter front end. It still had 3 point and pto doing nothing. The new breed of farmer in the 80s and 90s pushed this fact until the best damn field work tractor we ever knew became obsolete. If these birds want to do loader work why not buy a real loader with no pto or 3point hitch. Put the engine on the opposite end from loader, it becomes the natural counter weight. Add a shuttle transmission and you have loader machine. It should have been a criminal offence to put a loader on a Farmall. (least 10 years)
