Years ago dad bought a 135 as a loader tractor, it had power steering as an option. At the time we had chicken, to get the tractor in the sheds and clean out, the cab came off and the guys had to take the bucket in on a wheelbarrow first.

When I started tractor driving the old boys used to say I was spoiled with a loader as they had to use a shovel and fork back in the day.

I've never tried to embed a video before - hope this works............. Happened to stumble upon this tonight.
What you should be looking at is John Deere's launch of new combines and their 830HP tractor.
Right reason or not, it is something I just know I need for the Haybob.

Till you said 6250,,,,,I thought, you will need to blow the old pickup front tyres up a bit to carry it.
You didn't go for the elephant pack then? Too heavy?
I believe you can add weight by filling the frame with water too
Think it'll be plenty heavy enough
