Whats that a 2020? The problem with that setup is all that weight in front of the tractor will take all the weight off of the rear tires. 2WD and front end loaders suck on smaller tractors. How about a 4020 or something around that size? My dad has a couple 4220's with quad shift trans and they do really well with the loader (They have enough power and traction that you can break things if you push too hard though).

Yeah 4wd is better than 2wd with a loader, but I wouldn't hesitate to go with that 2wd at all. The whole time we farmed our only loader tractor was a 2wd and it wasn't an issue. If you need more weight in the rear you can add weights or fluid to the tires. Of if you're doing something like working up a field and don't need the loader you can always take the loader arms off and leave just the frame.

I see it does have the rear wheel weights.. We have hills here and it's pretty flat there. That loader looks HEAVY though. I bet if you had 3/4 scoop of gravel or dirt you'd spin a lot on low traction conditions.. I dont think we ever did hear what the plans are for the tractor as far as what kind of duties it will be used for.

I plan to add fluid to the tires, and maybe more weights to the rear end, when I am not using the loader I plan to take off the arms and whatnot. I dont like the bale grabber anyway, I have my truck to feed with and even then....i aint got anything to feed....
