1. I've never seen any wheels broken on a farm tractor with front loader except on ytmag, and they were rusted out. I've seen antique tractors damaged from cobbled together loaders.
2. Never seen problems with PS except an old IH 584 we had with a 2250 loader and weak pump. With a heaping bucket of gravel she had a hard time steering fast.
3. Never seen gear box problems, unless you count short clutch life in dry clutch loader tractors.
4. The frames and mounting, my small Kubota with a 2000 lb full lift rated loader is built with front loader bosses cast into the motor and the has torque arms that go to the rear axle.
My MF has an aftermarket ALO loader rated at something like 4000 lb, with formed plates that form a subframe front to the middle, then reach under with torque arms to the rear. Its got 4000 hours on the wet clutch reverser without any problems, the whole point of a wet clutch reverser is for loader use. Sort of pointless to pay for it if not used with a loader. The ride control on the loader with the previous owners lack of greasing has ruined about 100$ of oilite bushings but that is a quick fix.
I will say, 2wd dry clutch non-sync tractors make poor loader tractors. Most mfwd wet clutch reverser equipped tractors make dandy loaders. Are they going to outperform a TLB moving big buckets of gravel? No, but that TLB loader isn't going to pickup manure or round bales any better.

The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
