[QUOTE="GavinJ, post: 6628812, member: 212"] Thanks for the thoughts. It is not dragging the ground there is adequate clearance underneath and it slips even without anything on the front loader. Changing to 4wd is obviously the answer but looking for the right machine and the 4610 will be staying anyway as it has had an engine rebuild a few years ago and is generally reliable and useful in and around small buildings where the 4wd replacement would not be. The loader is the old steelfab / ford / horndraulic converted to power loader many years ago so the weight is further forward than a modern loader but as i said even without using the loader she still spins. Even in the summer with a bale trailer on she was sliding down one bank where as another 2wd smaller tractor coped easily. I am not sure what pressure is in the rear tyres but have considered water ballast but the sidewalls are badly perished now so replacements of some sort will be needed soon. [/QUOTE]
