135 powered steering

Hi All
I have just fitted a loader to my 135 and just a few questions, please
whats the options and opinions on a powered steering upgrade, with the loader she is very heavy?
I have also lost some traction on the rear end, spinning while backing up with a loaded trailer?
and finally, what options do I have when running a log splitter and having to run the return into the fill plug?
Trying to get the best out of this grand little tractor.

You'd be surprised how much lighter the steering is with new three rib front tyres, pumped up extra hard. This is what we have done in the past...

you can get a power steering kit now for them. as said though a few pounds spend on bearings and tires with good pressure and plenty of grease will help, even if u do end up witht the power steering.

Each to their own but the rear weight gives traction with a loader and is easily removed if needed, unlike ballasted tyres.
4WD is the way for any serious loader work. I wouldn't want a 135 for a main loader tractor. Would be alright for moving logs about and stuff like that though, and for a smallholding it would probably do. A 165 would make a far better loader tractor though, because it has a stronger front axle.
