I bought a trashed engine 4000D 4 cyl with a self contained FEL very similar to that one....pump off front of crankshaft and fluid contained in loader once. Point here is that the front axle was inverted making the tires point in at the top and out at the bottom. "Anyhew" the reason the axle was inverted was that what used to be the bottom was welded where it had cracked from the load.
As others have said, that's a lot of bucket for that tractor.
As others have said, once you get it scattered, back into it and drag the bucket to get her smooth. I don't use a grader blade any more with my FEL. Just no comparison in the quality of the job.
Front tires look new but to make steering easier, get some worn out 10 ply p/u truck, fat tires on the front. The wide area and lack of tread will help greatly in turning and don't forget your tractor has individual rear brakes and they are individual to help in doing just that. Yeah you will have go get/adapt a couple of wider wheels but it WILL be worth the effort. Additionally, as others have said, the more weight you can put on the rear, as far out as you can get it, the more you will offset the FEL wt. and will help steering a whole lot. Keep the king pins and steering linkage greased up good.
