Well not really just loading up the trailer the easy way.

Determined,

That loader needs a little lead in the britches! Or a smaller appetite.

The burnt 4440 should only be about 11000 lbs.
Still within lifting capacity for the old Case but sticking out as far as it is it sure does look like I could use a little more air in the front tires.

Looks like you got your Deere, even got it half cooked!

(quoted from post at 22:12:05 11/12/15) Whats the back story on the burned up Deere?

When we bought this place about 9 years ago there was a nice big heated shop on the property.
Halfway through moving but before we took possession the previous owners tractor caught fire and took down the shop, inside was his 4240 and a 4440.
I bought them for salvage, drained out refilled and test ran the 4240 before moving it indoors, the 4440 has sat untouched other than selling some parts off of it.
Like all good intentions life gets in the way and the time to put one of the two back together just isn't there so after a bit of talking I found someone who will take them both as part trade for a nice road grader that for some reason I think I need now.

You've got to remember, the load capacity is rated in line with the bucket. With all that weight sticking so far out front, you definitely got that old loader on her tippy toes.
