Looks great! Tractor looks manly now with the bigger tires.

How do you get to the seat after the loader boom is on it???? It looks awfully congested getting to the seat from rear also.--------------Loren

There is a step in the first picture.

Those big tires are a love hate relationship. They are great In the dirt and mud but absolutely worthless on snow and Ice because they are so wide and not enough weight I?d like to find two more sets of wheel weights well I can find the weights but I can?t find the money In my bank account to pay for them

Loren you have to go over the rear axle it?s not good but it?s not bad . That?s biggest down fall of these old farmhand loaders . The good is it will lift about anything and it lifts high I can stack 4x4x8 bales of hay five high one bale at a time.

This is two 1800 pound 4x4x8 bales of hay

Lol, know your pain.

I would feel pretty uneasy and on a suicide mission sitting behind that steel and hay staring it in the face if something went sideways. no place to go. I know of people that have been crippled and killed from a bale rolling on top off them. a person never knows what can happen till it happens.

That?s is why you never ever lift two bales on a single bale fork high enough the bale can roll back down the arms much higher than hood height and your right you could wind up worse than dead in about a two seconds . If you make sure to stab the bale with the fork so it can?t get off that?s how to live to tell about it

This 4020 actually weighs the same as my 3020 with the way it?s ballasted . The 3020 will work circles around the 4020 in the snow until I put that chains on then it?s a pretty close match

and say your pin or mount broke with a bale in the air? cyl. ram could bend and I have seen that happen also. all I am saying is I don't like that loader system. I am not specifically talking about how bales are positioned on the forks, as something unforeseen happening. you are caged in sitting right in the line of fire.

SVcummins · Dec 13, 2019

Well i cant lift em with a pitch fork .. It has a everything to do with how you stab the bale the only way the bales is getting off that fork if you stab the bale is to break all four tines at once or break both cylinders off and both pins on the loader then its going roll down the arms and your dead hopefully anyway . If you try just sliding under the bale or only in the bottom six inches of the bale or you dont pay the hell attention to what your doing everytime you pick something up high enough it can fall on you sooner or latter you will wind up crushed . You should be paying attention whether theres a cab on the tractor or not .

I have seen pictures of steps leading up to exterior walls with no door there.
